Any benefit in using Razz Berry and Great Ball at same time? Any harm?
For new Pokemon, I throw a Razz Berry and use a Great Ball. That should yield a very high catch rate?
Yet, I am not sure I am gaining any benefit. In fact, with a Razz Berry + Great Ball combo, a few times the Pokemon have run away after I missed just the first and second throw. Normally, I can throw upwards of 6 regular balls before it runs away.
- Are the higher catch rates of Razz Berries and Great Balls additive if used in combination?
- Any chance that I am actually making it more difficult to catch Pokemon with this combination? If I start missing, they run away sooner?
Best Answer
Yes, the effects are additive. This can be seen by tapping and holding on a Pokéball to see the color after throwing a razz berry, and then releasing it and switching to a great ball and doing the same thing. You will be able to see the difference in color of the ring change color (provided it wasn't green to start with).

No, Razz Berries do not stack.Do Berries stack Pokémon Go?
First off, we must note that Berries apply to the next time you hit a Pok\xe9mon with a ball and they do not stack. So you only get to use one Berry on each throw, and if the Pok\xe9mon breaks out, you'll have to use another. This adds a certain level of strategy to your catch game, even if it's not much.How do you use the Golden Razz Berry in Pokémon go?

Answer 2
Yes, using both a Razz Berry and a Great Ball (as well as an Ultra Ball when you get to level 20+), increases the chance of capture additively.
But you have to remember that a Razz Berry only counts for the next hit. You can miss the Pokemon and keep throwing, but once you hit, if they jump out of the ball, the effect of the Razz Berry has worn off. If you keep throwing Great Balls, you're then getting only the Great Ball multiplier (which I believe is 1.5x the chance of a normal Pokeball).
So the effect you're noticing could mean that after the Pokemon jumps out, you're not using another Razz Berry to keep the chances up.
