To defeat a wild Pokémon in battle, you must reduce its HP to zero by using your Pokémon's attacks. These can be used in the Agile style or the Strong style, and you should mix up your strategy depending on which Pokémon you face. Matching up type to exploit its weakness will help as well.

If you intend to capture the Pokémon instead, weaken it but not knock it out. If you knock it out, you cannot catch it. Battling wild Pokémon is a good way to increase your odds of capturing a Pokémon and leveling up your own.
