One can use many different approaches when trying to catch Pokémon, but sneaking seems to be a good way to catch them unawares. Make sure to move slowly and stay out of their sight while sneaking upon them.

With so many different Pokémon to catch, you will need to use different tactics at times. Practice sneaking up on lower-level Pokémon, and then you’re able to implement it against higher-level and rarer Pokémon!
