Sweet just got my first "Excellent" pokeball throw on a Butterfree. Didn't even know you could get that.

Yeah it's 100 exp, it's nice.

Do you know how the throwing works?

I've heard conflicting info about the colored circle thing, I've heard it should be as small as possible, and I've heard the opposite, that it should be as big as possible.

In my experience, I've seen no correlation with circle size and throw quality. The main factor seems to be where you hit the pokemon (sweet spot seems to be the center of the circle), and if you throw a curveball.

My theory is that the goal is to get the pokeball to land inside the colored ring. The smaller the ring the better if you get it inside, but it's also more difficult to get it inside of a small ring. So you can choose how difficult you want the throw to be. If I'm correct, then really hard to catch pokemon should be caught with risking the small circle, easier pokemon with a large circle.

I think I saw something about it under the help in settings but idk for sure.


Also just evolved my first clefable to 1100 O:

grats, that's nearly impossible

game is starting to lose it's allure for me

i basically sit in an office and drive to work and driving is too fast to really do anything (every pokestop i pass is out of range by the time i can spin it) and i'm literally catching the same 4-5 pokemon every day

Get up 5 hours early and walk to work lmao

it is only like 9 miles from my house, i could...

1314 Arcanine leads my squad now. Level 18. Found a 680 Ponyta and a 700 graveler that I can't wait to upgrade. Games getting good good.

i'm so hyped to evolve this thing. Has to be like 1600+ cp
