Catch Combos

Capture Combos are a unique feature in Pokémon Let's Go. As you capture more of the same species of Pokémon in a row, you will increase your Catch Combo. On the surface, this doesn't provide any special benefit, but there are some big benefits from getting long combos. First let's get into the mechanics of Catch Combos. Essentially you need to capture the same species of Pokémon over and over with the capture rates increasing as you progress through the combo. Encountering Pokémon of species doesn't break the combo as long as you run from them without capture. There are, however, multiple things that break the combo: A Pokémon running from you

Capturing a Pokémon of a different species

Saving and exiting the game (Note: Suspending a game does not break the combo) If you do any of these, then your Catch Combo will be lost and have to begin again. However, leaving the route to buy more Balls or just coming back to it much later will continue the streak.

Catch Combo Rewards - Items & Experience

Typically when you capture Pokémon, if you do well you will have a chance to receive various items, particularly berries, but as you progress through the Catch Combos, you get a higher chance of getting various Candy, specifically large Candy and species specific candy to the Pokémon species.

With Experience, there's a special bonus you get after capturing any Pokémon. When you're in a Catch Combo chain, however, there's a special bonus that increases the experience you gain. With Catch Combos, it starts at *1.1, then goes to *1.5 at Catch Combo 11 but then increases by 0.5 for every 10 Catch Combos.

Catch Combo Rewards - IVs

IVs are the genetic material of a Pokémon and, with no breeding in Pokémon Let's Go, getting a high IV Pokémon would seem to be much of a challenge, but Catch Combos managed to alleviate that. The higher the combo you get, the more guaranteed max IVs you'll receive. However, you could still receive more at lower amounts and the IVs that are guaranteed max are random. This Capture Combo boost only carries over to Pokémon of the species of the Pokémon being captured so if you break the chain by catching another Pokémon, it will have no guaranteed max IVs.

Catch Combo Rewards - Shiny Pokémon

Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon that are generally much rarer than standard Pokémon. Coming in an alternate colour, they show a sense of accomplishment. Like most Pokémon games, Shiny Pokémon can be obtained easier by Capture Combos. With this, you can go and hunt other Pokémon in other areas and they will have an increased chance of being Shiny.
