Question: Does sleep or paralysis work better for catching Pokemon?

If f is greater than or equal to M, the Pokémon is caught. Otherwise, the Pokémon breaks free. In practical terms, lowering the target’s HP to 1/3 of its maximum will guarantee capture with a Poké Ball, while lowering it to 1/2 will guarantee capture with a Great Ball.

If a Pokemon is Paralyzed, they cannot be Burned as well. However, if a Pokemon knows Rest, the Status Condition will be “healed” and replaced with Sleep.

Can you use hypnosis on a paralyzed Pokemon?

I used to use Sleep all the time, but Hypnosis only has a 60% hit rate and can also wear off. Paralysis is never cured on it’s own and Thunder Wave has a higher hit percentage.

Is there a trick to catching legendary Pokemon?

Does Sleep help catch rate?
