Effect Holding it is said to increase the chance of getting a critical catch. Curiously, the charm doesn't shake much.

What is a Critical Capture?

A Critical Capture is a random event that boosts your chances of catching a Pokemon. You will notice this when you throw a Poke Ball, and it makes a different sound compared to normal. Additionally, it will shake mid-air and then shake only once compared to the usual three, as seen above.

Note that a Critical Capture does not guarantee a catch. It still has a low chance of failing.

Steps to Get It

Go to Circhester
Head to Circhester by foot or by taking a Flying Taxi.
Go to the Hotel
Head to the right of Circhester and you will see two hotels. Head to the one on the left side.

Take the elevator, and once you are in the corridor, enter the door on the far left.
Talk to the Game Director
You will see the director of the game in this room, talk to him and he will give you the Catching Charm.

If you already completed your Pokedex, the director will also give you a Shiny Charm.
