How to catch a Tarountala
Once you encounter them, you must initiate a Pokémon battle with them to catch the Tarountula in SV. After you defeat it with your Pokémon, press the ZR button to throw a Pokeball to capture it. Your Pokeball will blink thrice, and after that, you will have successfully captured this Pokemon. Use Fire, Flying, and Rock Types to speed up the process as this Pokemon is weak to it.
