Alpha Catch rate

[ScizoMonkey]

What is the catch rate for alphas?

 

Can we have some information about this?

Because I think that the timer balls and the bis balls bonus doesn't work against them

 

Is it better to just use super balls and hyper balls

 

I have noticed that they are also boosted against decreased accuracy.

add you can't boost your evasion against them; timer balls seem to act like gen 4, 30 turns or more for them to be max effective

I was told 8 turns.

Sincèrely i guess this is based on ur lucky rng at that moment

I remember catching àn alpha 1st turn, 1st pokeball thrown

I sometimes spend like +20 ultraballs in vain

But for better catch and make profit

Use skill swap spinda and start throwing pokeballs to make its stats decrease to -6 then use timer ball

Good luck

Stall the Pokémon ( I use nosepass sturdy+ pain spilt) then spam timer balls. It actually depends on RNG . 
Some people catch them with single ball only. Without even damaging the alpha

11. Should be 10 for max effectiveness but I believe there's something wrong that takes 11 turns (so 10 turns + turn 1) to reach max effectiveness.
