It's all chance-based. There's nothing that is sure and we can only depend that the RNG will give us the boost we wanted. But by somehow you do stuff and it gives you a better chance, then by all means.

I remember back in the day when I keep pressing A and B button to catch a Pokemon that I wanted. I thought it will help in catching the Pokemon, but at the end I realized it does nothing to increase the chance and just wasting my energy to press for nothing lol.
