Nincada is a small bug-type Pokémon with a decent defense power. It is weak against flying, fire, water, and ice type attacks. It is strong against fighting, poison, and ground type attacks. Trapinch is also a ground-type Pokémon with decent attack power. It is weak against water, grass, and ice type attacks. It is strong against poison and rock attacks. [8] X Research source Once Nincada or Trapinch is weakened by your attacks and has low HP, you’ll have to throw a Pokeball to capture it. Be sure you have enough of your best Pokeballs in your inventory before leaving to capture one. If you find that your Pokémon are too strong and do too much damage to either of these wild Pokemon, you might want to use attacks Trapinch and Nincada are strong against. This will do reduced damage. This way, you can do small amounts of damage until the Pokémon is weakened enough for you to catch it.
