Unafraid to brave the dangers of the wilderness in their quest, Capture Specialists are unparalleled in skill when using Poké Balls, nets, and other devices to capture Pokémon. Many Capture Specialists are on a quest to “Catch ‘Em All”, while others are only interested in catching strong and rare Pokémon, and others still may have their own specific criteria, such as only capturing Bug Pokémon.
Capture Specialists are motivated for multiple reasons; some may simply be trying to find the strongest Pokémon they can for use in their own personal journey. Others may simply like the challenge. Some Capture Pokémon to trade and sell; this kind of Capture Specialists tend to be cold-hearted poachers, who capture endangered Pokémon, or devastate entire wild communities in their search for profit. Whatever their reasons, no one can deny Capture Specialists are good at what they do.
Capture Specialists tend to be versatile and well-rounded characters; many of them focus on improving many different skills such as Perception or Survival, to aid them in their quests into the wilderness. Many of them also learn to create and modify their own Poké Balls, to cut down on the costs of their chosen career.
