Head Down the Cliff

Fast travel to Grandtree Arena and travel north. When you get to the marked area on the image above, head down the cliff until you get to the lowest ledge near the water. The Alpha Magikarp should be within throwing distance from there.

How to Catch Alpha Magikarp

Catching Without Battling: Use Razz Berries and Poke Balls, then aim for its back

Catching Through Battling: As soon as battle starts, try to keep a status effect on it

Use Razz Berries and Poke Balls

Bait Alpha Magikarp.gif

1.	Crouch and slowly approach the Alpha Magikarp from the ledge.
2.	Throw a Razz Berry to a spot that will allow you to have an opening on Magikarp's back.
3.	Press B and approach slowly until you are close enough to throw a Poke Ball (or a Great / Ultra Ball) at its backside.
4.	Do this multiple times until you get the Alpha Magikarp.

The most important skill for catching wild Pokemon is being able to lure them with berries so that you have a clear shot on their back. Razz Berries make Pokemon easier to catch, so when combined with Poke Balls / Great Balls / Ultra Balls, they can make it very easy to catch Alpha Pokemon.

Repeatedly catch them unawares

Approach Alpha Magikarp.png

1.	Approach as normal and throw out a Pokemon to start battle.
2.	On your turn, move to the backside of the Alpha Pokemon and choose to Run from battle.
3.	As soon as battle ends, throw your Pokemon at the Alpha Pokemon again to catch them unawares.
4.	Damage the Pokemon until they reach the yellow ~ Red HP Gauge (repeating steps 2. and 3. will allow you to continuously have the Pokemon be kept unawares).
5.	Repeat steps 2. and 3. then use a Heavy Ball (or Leaden/Gigaton Ball).

This method of catching a Pokemon allows you to make use of the fact that your character can move freely during battle. Since it only involves going into battle, it requires less precision than the method that involves Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries.

Additionally, this method allows you to continuously have the Alpha Pokemon be caught unawares, so even if your Pokemon is at a much lower level than the Alpha Pokemon, you'll be able to damage them, run, catch them unawares, then repeat in a loop until their HP is low enough to easily catch them.

Raise Star Rank to Increase Catch Rate

Increase Your Rank.png

One way of increasing an Alpha Pokemon's catch rate is by raising your Star Rank by completing Research Tasks.

If you find yourself having a hard time catching the Alpha Pokemon, raise the odds of capturing it by coming back with a higher Survey Corps rank.
