Tapping the A button has no actual effect on catching Pokemon. This function is not codded into the game so tapping the A button when trying to catch a Pokemon is simply a psychological effect.

No. This is, unfortunately, a rumor. The probability of catching a Pokemon is decided by an equation that factors in the strength of the ball, the Pokemon's HP, status condition, and level, and the number of balls that have already been thrown at the Pokemon.

No. This was just a rumour started when Pokemon Red and Blue came out. Since then theres been many rumoured buttons combos like tapping A or tapping A and B.
