I saved in front of it, so I'm able to reload and see it and reset, but I'm not able to catch him yet.

Is this a lost cause, or is there a way to make it catchable without leaving the map?

Update - I caught my green Muppet. Thanks, comrades.

      Try getting it to eat a Razz berry, and while eating strike it from directly behind with a great ball. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll be able to catch high rank Pokémon.
