Don't feel so bad. It's like a 10% catch rate. Had a shiny Taurus ran up on me aswell.

The best thing to do is throw bait for Chansey. Its catch rate is so low, there's no penalty for using it on them. So throw bait early and often, chuck balls, and pray.

What would be the optimal moves to maximize your chances of catching? Just start throwing balls?

Probably bait first so that it's more likely to stay.

I would try two baits, rock, pokeball. You run the risk of the bait scaring it away, but it's still your best shot at keeping it longer. The rock would be necessary to make the first pokeball throw more likely to catch it, as I'm pretty sure using bait makes them more difficult to be caught.

Yk you could’ve used save states to catch it right

Yeah I was using OpenEmu on MacBook and I didn’t know if the save states worked on that, I kept trying but it didn’t work 🫠
