Effective Way To Fill In Pokedex

Effective Way To Fill Pokedex Solo

1. Purchase a lot of Quick Ballsく

Quick Ball	Has a more successful catch rate if used at the start of a wild encounter. Can be purchased after getting 6 Gym Badges

Quick Balls are useful for filling up the Pokedex so purchase them in bulk. It has a great success rate of catching Pokemon during the first turn on encountering, making the process of catching Pokemon much smoother.

2. Prepare a Pokemon specially trained for capturing purpose if possible


▲Pokemon that has learned False Swipe and sleeping status Move

High Level Pokemons and Lesser Legendary Pokemon may not be able to catch with the Quick Ball. In that case preparing a Pokemon to weaken or Status Effects your opponent to make them easier to capture is recommended

Breloom Is Recommended

Pokemon	Description / How to obtain
Breloom	・Learn "Fake Swipe" from TM ・"Spore" to put enemy Pokemon to sleep ・Ability「Effect Spore」should be avoided 　└ Poison will faint the Pokemon Evolved from Shroomish *Make sure to level up Shroomish until level 40 and learn Spore before evolving. Until level 40, press B button to cancel evolution.

"Spore" is the only Move that puts the opponent to sleep instantly, with an accuracy of 100. Breloom has high attacking stats among Pokemon that can learn False Swipe that can leave the opponent with HP of 1.

3. Walk around field and capture uncaught Pokemon


If there are a lot of uncaptured Pokemon, you can walk around the field and catch them as you go then rather checking one by one. Catch as many uncaught Pokemon as possible.

You Can Tell If The Pokemon Had Been Captured Or Not By Locking On Or During Battle

Lock On	During Battle

When you lock on (press and hold ZL) a wild Pokemon in the field or when entering the battle a Pokeball mark will appear on top of Pokemon's name identifying if you've captured the Pokemon or not. If you come across a Pokemon that you don't remember whether you caught it or not, use this method to identify it.

Only One Of The Form From Multiple Form Is Required To Fill The Pokedex

Example: Lycanroc's different forms
Midday Form	Midnight Form	Dusk Form

As for Pokemon with different forms, such as Lycanroc and Rotom, the Pokedex will be filled by acquiring any one type. If you catch the different forms, you will be able to switch the appearance in the Pokedex, but it is unnecessary if you simply want to fill the Pokedex.

4. Check Pokedex once you catch a number of uncaught Pokemon


▲Green: Caught, White: Discovered, Blank: Undiscovered

5. Capture the Pokemon by going to the Habitat where it will spawn


Once you know which Pokemon are not caught yet, go to the location where they appear and capture them.

Throw Quick Ball during first turn, if you can't catch it, put it to sleep or reduce its HP and then throw the ball again.
6. Evolved Pokemon that doesn't appear in the wild are obtained through evolution or Tera Raid Battle

Some evolved Pokemon do not appear in the wild, so you must catch them before evolution and then evolve them, or catch them as evolved in a Raid.

Since it is a hassle to go after the Pokemon you want in a Raid, it is recommended to catch the pre-evolved Pokemon and then evolve it.
