When you repeatedly catch the same species of Pokémon, the game will record your “Catch Combo” in the results screen, post-capture. This value will rise as you continue to catch the same species of Pokémon. However, your combo will reset if any of the following happens:
- You catch a different species of Pokémon.
- A Pokémon runs from you (but you may run from them).
- You shut down the game.
Benefits of Catch Combos¶
As your Catch Combo increases, you’ll start to receive various benefits–some obvious, some less so. The higher your Catch Combo…
- The higher the experience multiplier for catching a Pokémon. This is listed as “Combo Bonus” in the rewards screen.
- The better the items you’ll earn for catching a Pokémon (eg. candy).
- The more perfect IVs the caught Pokémon will have.
- The more likely rare spawns will appear in your current area.
- The greater the chance of finding Shiny Pokémon.
The table below quantifies the aforementioned benefits.
