What Do the Different Rings Mean in Pokemon GO?

Ever found yourself staring at your screen while playing Pokemon GO, wondering about the different colored rings surrounding the Pokemon and what they could mean? Let’s dive into this colorful mystery and clear up any confusion.

In Pokemon GO, catching Pokemon is more than just a swipe of a Poke Ball. Ever noticed how some Pokemons are surrounded by different colored rings? What’s up with that? Let’s find out.

The Secret Behind the Colored Rings

When you’re ready to catch a Pokemon in Pokemon GO, you’ll see a colored ring around them. This ring isn’t just for show; it tells you how hard it will be to catch that Pokemon. Think of it as a game of ‘red light, green light.’ Green means go (easy to catch), and red means stop (harder to catch).

The colors range from green, yellow, orange, to red. Green rings mean the Pokemon is easier to catch, and as the color shifts towards red, the challenge increases. This is super helpful for knowing when to use a better Poke Ball or a Razz Berry to make the catch easier.
