How to Use Great Balls
Throw the Great Ball at a wild Pokemon before it notices you
Unlike the previous Pokemon games, you will have to aim the Great Ball towards a wild Pokemon to catch it, similar to Pokemon GO. In order to catch unsuspecting Pokemon without going into battle, you'll need to sneak up on them or use bait such as food! If you are unsuccessful, you may have to battle with the Pokemon or temporarily flee until it forgets about you.
Catching a Pokemon in Battle
To initiate a battle with a wild Pokemon, throw a Poke Ball containing your partner Pokemon towards it. Aim at an unsuspecting Pokemon's backside to potentially gain the advantage and catch them off guard!
Like in past Pokemon games, Pokemon will become easier to catch after being weakened. Lower their HP and inflict Status conditions like Drowsiness or Paralysis, then switch to your items with X, and press ZR to throw the Great Ball to try and catch it!
