I went to the underground to catch a Houndoom, and apparently there’s a hidden mechanic that when attempting to catch a Pokémon above your party’s level decreases the overall catch rate.
I spent 30 poké balls on a basic ass Houndoom, 2 hp left and asleep.:damn:
Gotta use heal ball, missed my chance aint seen the Houndoom spawn since

That explains it. I was wondering why those underground Pokémon are so hard to catch

its been a thing since Sword and Shield :snoop: by far one of the most annoying things they've ever added

they could've just kept it so that higher levels didnt obey if you didnt have the right gym badge

I didn’t grind at all and completed the 8 gyms. Basically one shot everything. But holy crap the elite four and Cynthia are the real deal lol. Took me a few tries. Wish all the gyms were that tough.
