Why can't I catch Pokémon?
Every time I try and catch a Pokémon, e.g. when I click the Pokémon the first time to go into the catching screen, the app will shut off. It has been like this for at least 24 hours now. How do I fix this?
Best Answer
You should delete the app and download it again. If that doesn't work, check if there's any corrupted data on the phone. You should also check if any other app is damaging Pokemon Go's performance. If all else fails, try to avoid playing the app or downloading it again. That will make you not care about the problem anymore, making this question useless (lol).

Firstly, a poor server connection can cause this, and that's likely to be because of your data connection. It could also be the demand on your phone. A top tip here is to turn off the AR side of things. When you go to catch a Pokemon, tap the toggle switch in the top right-hand corner.Is there a trick to catching Pokemon?
Everyone Pokemon encounter isn't a guaranteed capture. There are some Pokemon that seem impossible to catch. The likes of Caterpie and Rattata are sorely missed when squaring off against these creatures. Difficult is an understatement.Can a Pokemon be impossible to catch?
