Ever wondered how to nail that perfect ‘Excellent’ throw in Pokémon GO? You’re not alone! Mastering the ‘Excellent’ throw isn’t just about bragging rights; it’s a surefire way to increase your chances of catching those elusive Pokémon.

Throwing an ‘Excellent’ in Pokémon GO means you have to aim your Poke Ball so it lands inside the smallest moving circle. Sounds simple, right? But there’s a bit more to it than just aim and throw.

The Secret Behind an ‘Excellent’ Throw

To achieve that coveted ‘Excellent’ throw, you need to watch the colored circle that shrinks as you hold down on the Poke Ball. The goal is to release the ball when the circle is at its smallest. A precise, straight throw at this point should land you that ‘Excellent’ rating.

But patience and practice are key. The timing can differ based on the distance and size of the Pokémon you’re trying to catch. Some might require you to wait longer, while for others, you’ll need to act fast.

Boost Your Catch Rate with ‘Excellent’ Throws

Landing an ‘Excellent’ throw not only feels great but also boosts your chances of catching the Pokémon. Plus, it earns you extra XP. So, if you’re looking to level up or catch that rare Pokémon, mastering this throw is crucial.

Remember to take advantage of bonuses like Curveball throws or using Razz Berries to make catching even easier. Combining these with your ‘Excellent’ throws will make you a Pokémon GO master in no time.
