Use the Q key (default) to throw a Pokeball.
Throwing a Pokeball is 2 times stronger than throwing a normal item. After landing, the pokeball opens and tries to catch the mob. Then it closes and automatically tries to return to the player.
Don't try to catch the mob while the player is sitting on it!
