I've tried a few ways but generally just lob it up the middle.

That's probably your issue. I always use a curve ball and 9 times out of 10 get a "Great" throw and seem to have much better success particularly with Squirtles and Pikachus. I find it much easier to throw a curve ball then straight up the middle too. Maybe try switching to curve balls?

I am havin the same problem, I caught a vulpix and a bell sprout beside trinity at lunch, every single other rat and pidgey that showed up, (at least six of each) escaped and fled! I even used a raspberry and an ultra on a god damned 50cp rat, escaped fled, yet caught both the bell sprout and vulpix first time!

I have noticed it's become harder to catch Pidgeys, Weedles and Rats whilst other Pokemon have become easier (including Caterpie) but I wouldn't have as many fleeing as other people are reporting. I definitely think the way to go is curve ball and aim for "Nice", "Great" or "Excellent".

Guys, seriously, learn to throw a curve ball. One or two curveballs with a regular pokeball usually are enough to capture most things. Throws are more consistent too.

That said, every now and again there a Pidgey who flees razzas and Great balls anyways...

I've tried a few ways but generally just lob it up the middle. About 20% of them are going way up into the sky at the minute and the rest are mostly hitting the target but all the vermin is escaping and fleeing. In 40 minutes I encountered 21 Pokemon, all but four of whom escaped, and those ones were a 10CP rat, 350CP Eevie and 1200CP Pinsir.

There are some mons I just can't hit though. Golbat, Muk, some other flying thing I forget. I can't get the ball to go high or deep enough, unless I get that quarterback lob that is too high for anything.

The most consistent mons are Magikarp and Mr. Mime who tend to take the same number of shots to catch each time.

Also I appreciate Abra. He'll waste at most one ball.

Pidgeot is the bane of my existence! Spin, lob, feckin' balls all over the place and 90% of the time I miss. I just gave up on those 'mons as they're generally crap! If I encountered a Muk, however, I'd probably cry as I'd no doubt not be unable to capture it since it'd be too far

After reading several of your posts I don't understand how you have such trouble catching Pokemon. How do you throw the ball?

Does a soft ban let you catch Pinsir though? There no rhyme or reason to the catch algorithm.

I hear ya but what made me think softban was the 12/14 number you mentioned. I've read numerous posts whereby after about the 11th/12th "escapee", the game would let you catch 1 or 2 and then the same cycle would repeat.

JamboMac

If the pinsir was the first thing you caught could be a soft ban, especially if they ran after every first throw, but in saying that the server definitely was acting up walked out the door caught a bellsprout then 2 mins later everything on my sightings disappeared and nothing was added to the egg after I reset it twice.

Brutal lunchtime hunting. 12/14 Pidgees escaped, nothing spawned. The only things I caught were a one ball Eevie and a one ball 1200CP Pinsir, which I have no use for.

Still 1500 from levelling up.

I'm more surprised you found that many pidgeys in what I'm guessing is an hour, I only find 1 or 2.

How did that many Pidgeys escape? Sounds like a soft-ban mate.

I have a few that are less than ten candies away from an evolve, but I'm at the stage now where I don't see myself adding to the pokedex anytime soon!
I'm about fifteen K away from level 26

Nice, I'm level 26 and only at 114 in the pokedex.

Kabutops is the evolved form. You can't hatch that from an egg lol

Either he evolved it or caught it wild.

Charizard?

128 is still quite a ways off from filling out the pokedex. He's still missing about 14 (not including Legendaries, region locked mons, etc.)

6th

I've seen Poygorn 3 times and caught it each time. Just at the corner near Vaughans in Terenure (roughly before 9am each time).

I finally got another Jolteon... after about 4 attempts

Not the best moveset but, at this stage, I'm just glad to get one again after getting more Flareons than I'd ever need.

My 2nd last attempt:

Sorry about your bad luck! This is why I've pretty much given up on eggs. I find I'm catching more new Pokemon in the wild anyway, e.g. Clefairy, Porygon.

Where'd you find the Porygon?

This isn't a 100% accurate but may give some clue of your best chance of capture, types of throw mean nothing.

Seel is the only 5km mon I don't have yet. That would be my dream hatch.

Are koffing and wheezing considered unusual? I see dozens of them every day.

Eevie was talking the piss earlier. Nine escapes for a 100CP before I just abandoned it. Promised I would never their more than one ball at her any more. The next one I found went down in one.

Koffing is rare enough for me and I've yet to see a Wheezing at all.

I don't understand why that happens with certain low CP Pokemon. I tend to throw everything at them in those cases, just out of sheer determination! Sometimes I give up, if it's a Rattata or a Pidgey, but other times I stick it out just so I can "win".
