Before you throw a ball
If you encounter a wild Paras, an ordinary throw outside battle requires your first non-fainted party Pokémon to be at least its level.
These rules describe wild encounters. Raids and scripted encounters may use their own capture flow. Read the catching guide and blocked-throw checklist · Checked .
Base catch-rate value: 190. This is a species value, not a percentage or a promise that a particular ball will work.
Battle profile
Damage taken by Paras with Bug / Grass typing:
Unlisted move types deal normal (1×) damage. Both types are combined. Abilities, held items, moves, weather, Terastallization and form changes can alter the result.
Progression
Follow the requirements on each arrow, then open the next Pokémon to continue the chain. Regional and alternate forms can use different rules. Compare all evolution methods.
