Ever wondered how to nail an excellent throw in Pokémon GO? You’re not alone! Mastering the art of the excellent throw can really up your Pokémon-catching game.

Let’s dive into how you can make those Pokémon-catching moments truly shine with excellent throws.

What’s the Secret to an Excellent Throw?

An excellent throw in Pokémon GO isn’t just about luck; it’s all about timing and precision. When you encounter a Pokémon, you’ll see a colored ring that shrinks and grows. The secret is to throw your Poké Ball when the ring is at its smallest.

To do this, wait for the ring to start shrinking, then swipe up to toss your Poké Ball. If your timing is perfect and the Poké Ball hits the Pokémon right when the ring is its tiniest, boom! You’ve just made an excellent throw.

Why Bother with Excellent Throws?

Well, for starters, excellent throws give you the highest XP bonus, helping you level up faster. Plus, these precise throws increase your chances of catching that elusive Pokémon. Who wouldn’t want that?

It’s not just about bragging rights (though those are nice too). Making excellent throws can be the difference between catching a rare Pokémon or watching it run away. Practice makes perfect!
