The catching process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the [[wild Pokémon]] is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status condition]], at which point the Trainer throws a [[Poké Ball]] at said Pokémon in order to catch it. The success of a Poké Ball depends on [[catch rate]].

A Pokémon cannot be caught during a [[Trainer battle]]. If the player attempts to use a Poké Ball (of any variety) during a Trainer battle, then the enemy trainer will block the ball and the player's turn will be wasted. Prior to [[Generation IV]], this consumed the Poké Ball. From Generation IV onwards, the Poké Ball is returned to the player's [[Bag]].


A caught Pokémon can join its trainer's [[party]], be used in battles and quests to aid Trainers, or be deposited in a [[PC]]. Caught Pokémon can [[Level|level up]], learn new [[move]]s, and [[evolution|evolve]], while wild Pokémon cannot. Pokémon that are caught do not need to [[Obedience|obey]] their owners; if a Pokémon is traded and the Trainer does not have the [[Badge]] required, it may disobey and refuse to execute a [[move]] during battles.
