In this segment, the video explains the importance of catching Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It emphasizes participating in various gameplay modes such as Raiding, Player vs. Player Battling, and Gym Battles. Players should catch every Pokémon they encounter for multiple reasons: acquiring Candies needed for powering up and evolving Pokémon, gaining Stardust and Experience Points, and obtaining better appraisal values.
