Pokemon(s) you wont bother to catch?

For me, Golbat is a waste of time. It has low combat value and I reckon it will take a tons of balls and razz berries before catching one. Moreover, zubats are everywhere and getting a golbat from evolution is a piece of cake.

It depends on how many pokeballs I have. If I am running low, I ignore zubat, nidorand, pidgy, spearow, weedle, caterpie, venonat, ratata, bellsprout, and their second stage evolutions. Even if I have plenty of pokeballs, I want either low CP (for an easy catch) or high CP (a potential keeper for training/evolving). If the CP is in the middle, I walk away (with eevee too).
As a side note: zubat is one of the Mon to catch to store up candy for gen 2.

Golbat is far back and flies in the air like Dragonite. If nothing else, you can use Golbat for practice shots for getting better throws against Dragonites.

Agree with walking away from anything with middle range CP.

Open the AR mode will be easier, not far, but must be accurate.

Golbat, Fearow, Kakuna, Metapod. I'll only catch those if i'm bored or swimming in pokeballs. If low on balls I also give more common mons of which I have good evolved forms a miss, unless they have really low or really high CP - drowzee, venonat, clefairy.

Totally agree, everytime I tried to catch a Golbat or a Pidgeot I wasted dozens of balls just to transfer them right away, so I have ignored them for a good while now. I now do the same with most Pidgey and Rattata (evolutions included), and everything that is Weedle, Spearow, Fearow, Kakuna, Metapod and Venonat.

If I had a lot of balls, I like to practice now on Golbat and Pidgeot...(for that eventual wild Dragonite).

Even if they pop out, I'm ok with that...so I just end up using regular pokeballs which are easy to restock.
