The last part is important, since it's incredibly difficult to catch Pokémon when they're at full strength. They're a lot easier to catch when they're in the yellow damage zone, and a cinch when they're in the red, but you'll need a weak fighter to take them down to that level or you may accidentally knockout your target as you whittle away at its health. Sleep, Paralysis, and other negative conditions also make catching wild Pokémon easier. | The last part is important, since it's incredibly difficult to catch Pokémon when they're at full strength.

As a result, they can be hard to level-up unless you use a little trick: Simply put your weakest Pokémon at the top of your roster. When the battle starts, your weak Pokémon will appear to face the challenger. As your very first move, swap them out for one of your tougher Pokémon who can beat the challenger. The new Pokémon will do all the work, but since every Pokémon who appeared in the fight gets to share the EXP, the weakling will still get half! But beware: Since you're using your first turn to switch Pokémon, your opponent will get the first attack. | ||
