Team Rocket has an option in the Explore area to go hunting for Pokemon. Every town in the game offers a slightly different selection of Pokemon that can be caught in a PokeBall. Currently only PokeBalls are used when hunting for Pokemon but that will likely change in the future.
The Basics:
The act of Pokemon Hunting costs you one point of energy whether you find one or not. A PokeBall is only consumed if you find a Pokemon (catching is currently automatic).
You are free to hunt as long as you have the energy and at least one PokeBall.
When hunting for Pokemon you have a base 25% chance of catching something. Each Pokemon that can be caught in a given town has a base 5% chance of being caught.

When a Pokemon is captured its IVs are generated and the dice are rolled to see if it is shiny. If you get lucky and pull a shiny rejoice, for you are one of the few!
All Pokemon are level one when captured and can not take part in the Battle Tent until they have gained at least one level.
