Q: What's the ideal build for a Pokemon-catching Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

A: In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the best catching build revolves around Pokemon like Breloom and Gallade. These Pokemon can be taught False Swipe and a status-inducing move, helping you wear down wild Pokemon more effectively.

Q: Why choose Gallade over Breloom for the catching build?

A: Gallade is slightly preferred because it can learn Hypnosis, which induces sleep. A sleeping Pokemon can't attack, making it easier to catch, even if the sleep status doesn't last as long as paralysis.

Q: How can I quickly level up my dedicated catching Pokemon?

A: To swiftly power-level your Breloom or Gallade, engage in Tera Battles. These battles drop experience candies, which can be found throughout the game. By leveling up your Pokemon sufficiently, False Swipe can significantly weaken almost any wild Pokemon, allowing for easier captures.
