How to Always Get Excellent Throws in Pokémon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered how to make those perfect “Excellent” throws in Pokémon GO? Let’s dive into the secret sauce that turns your Poké Ball throws from good to great.
Getting an “Excellent” throw in Pokémon GO isn’t just luck; it involves technique, timing, and a bit of practice. Curious how? Read on!
Mastering the Art of Excellent Throws
An “Excellent” throw happens when you toss a Poké Ball and it lands in the smallest circle targeting the Pokémon. The trick? Wait for the circle to shrink.
Start by holding the Poké Ball until the circle gets small enough. The circle changes in size from large to tiny. The smaller the circle when you hit the Pokémon, the better your chances of an “Excellent” throw. It’s all about timing and precision.
Practice Makes Perfect
Like any skill, getting consistent at landing those “Excellent” throws takes practice. Try aiming for smaller circles gradually, and don’t rush your throws.
Repetition is key. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. Start with Pokémon that have larger target areas, which are easier to hit, and then move on to smaller ones as you improve.
