As you spend time exploring the Paldea region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you will be tasked with winning all gym battles and becoming champion, bringing down Team Star, and defeating Titan Pokémon to make some amazing sandwiches. However, most Pokémon veterans have gotten used to catching every Pokémon they stumble into, even legendary ones. So are the Titan Pokémon any different from legendary Pokemon? Can we catch Titan Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Well, here is the tried and tested answer.

Do Pokeballs work on Titan Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Once you find your first Titan Pokémon, which should usually be the Stony Cliff Titan, you should see that the battle menu is the same as it would be in normal trainer battles. The option to use a Pokéball doesn’t even exist. This means that it is impossible to catch a Titan Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

However, Titan Pokémon are just bigger versions of normal Pokémon, which means that, besides the size, they aren’t special. This means that you can always catch that Pokémon’s smaller versions, just not this humongous one. This makes sense, as having a giant, overpowered version of a normal Pokémon wouldn’t be fair when battling the other trainers of Paldea.

Even though you can’t catch these Titan Pokémon, there is something even better that you can get by defeating them. Each time you beat a Titan in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you will get Arven to make you a sandwich that can help heal your legendary Pokémon, either Koraidon or Miraidon, and help them become usable Pokémon. You will get upgrades for their motorbike form and will also advance their plotlines.
