Is it better to catch alpha pokémon?

Once trainers defeat the Noble Pokemon of the region they're in, Alpha Pokemon will start appearing more frequently in the wild. The well-known and common way of catching an Alpha Pokemon is to battle it. However, since Alpha Pokemon are so strong, it's better to try and catch them without engaging them in battle.

Why cant i catch alpha?
If you see an Alpha Pokémon when you're first starting out, resist the urge to chuck a Poke Ball at it. You can't catch it no matter what you do because you need to increase your in-game rank by several stars. Just be patient, fill out those Pokédex entries, rank up, and come back later.

What pokeball catches alpha pokémon?
Alpha Pokemon generally have a very low capture rate, so you'll want to use something better than your average Poke Balls, such as Great Balls and Ultra Balls, or specialized ones like Heavy Balls.

Can i catch alphas?
Alpa Pokemon well above your level (and beyond your Star Rank Level) can still be caught! Alpha Pokemon can be found in shaking trees or minerals! The chance of an Alpha Pokemon appearing in this way is very rare, but it's totally possible!

Can you catch alpha pokémon with regular pokeballs?
Though it's not intuitive, you can still catch Alpha Pokemon even if you see a red X where the Poke Ball icon should be when you look at them. You won't be able to catch these by just tossing a Poke Ball - you will have to battle with them, and it will be difficult.
