Can I catch Pokémon when I move very quickly?
Assumed I am in a train or car (only co-driver!) with high speeds. Can I catch Pokémon anyway although my environment passes very quickly?
Best Answer
Yes, if you tap the pokemon it doesn't matter if you are a long distance away. I do it myself during public transport.

Can you catch Pokémon while driving fast?
Pokemon Go's creator, Niantic, recently made it impossible to play while driving by disabling the spawning of Pokemon and players ability to collect items from PokeStops when traveling over 25 MPH.How do you catch Pokémon really fast?
To employ the Quick Catch Method, you will need two hands. With one hand, hold down the berry button and slide it slightly to the right, toward the Pok\xe9ball. Then, with the other hand, the trainer will throw the ball. If done correctly, the "Run" option, which usually disappears, will remain at the top of the screen.Why do some Pokémon get caught instantly?
Whenever a player is lucky enough to initiate a critical capture during one of their throws of a Pok\xe9ball, the Pok\xe9mon being targeted is caught instantly.What increases your chances of catching a Pokémon?
Most of these tips apply to any Pok\xe9mon you try to capture, so keep them in mind throughout the game.Can INDIA Re-Capture POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir)?

I noticed a huge decrease in catch rate. I used an incense on the highway traveling 100kmh. I encountered 28 pokemon and only caught 8. Most ran away after the first poke ball.

In Ingress there is a speed limit for particular actions. To be able to hack or attack a portal, or place a resonator onto a portal you'll have to move at maximum around 25-30 km/h and to collect energy you'll have to move at maximum around 70-80 km/h. I'm pretty sure that Niantic will limit speed in Pokemon GO, too.
Also in Ingress turning off and on GPS is considered as cheating. My guess is that this would be checked in Pokemon Go, too.
If they haven't set controls for these limitations yet, they most probably will do it in near future.
Answer 4
Past a certain speed, your radar won't be able to detect nearby Pokemons as effectively (or at all). For me, detecting Pokemons worked well in slow public transport such as city buses, but stopped for regional trains for example, except when the train was slowing down and approaching a station.
However, once a Pokemon is detected and the fight is started, you can catch it independently from the speed.
Also note that Egg Hatching will generally not work inside a public transport, since it uses a combination of GPS and pedometer to calculate the distance you've walked (so it will notice that you are not actually walking).
Answer 5
Yes, you can still catch pokemon while on a freeway, but I only managed to catch 1/2 of them. The best way to get a Pokemon on a road is on a slow city bus. I got about 6-10 Pokemons while being on a bus for about 1 hour.
Answer 6
Last weekend, 9/3/16, I went on a two hour road trip. My husband was driving. When we were going about 70 mph I was able to engage pokemon, but after catching in a pokeball, 9 out of 9 escaped and ran away. I use to be able to catch them when we went on this trip, but since every one ran away, I don't think you can anymore.
Answer 7
I do believe now from the newest update even if you do find Pokémons while driving at high speeds they will run away after the first pokeball that has hit it
