Pokemon Go is a mobile game that quickly took over in 2016 – everyone was playing it, and many still do. While walking around in your hometown or even sitting at home, players can catch Pokemon by simply tossing a Poke Ball at them. It is possible to miss a Pokemon during a throw, though. Unlike console games where the Pokemon can break free, players can miss as well, unless using a Master Ball. This guide will teach how to get an excellent throw in Pokemon Go.
How To Get an Excellent Throw
After clicking on a Pokemon and selecting which Poke Ball players wanna use, circles will pop up in front of the Pokemon, and this is the key to a good throw. To get an excellent throw, players want to get the Pokemon to have a green circle around its head. If a green circle isn’t already there, this can be accomplished by feeding the Pokemon berries or other food. Some Pokemon tend to be difficult to catch and break out of the balls thrown at them, especially with yellow circles on their heads.
Throwing the Poke Ball with the circles of yellow usually means the Pokémon will fight back. If it fights back, it can knock the ball out of the way or will break out once it tries to be caught. This is where berries and other food come in. Feeding it once or twice between attempts will assure green circles pop up. Now comes the tricky part, getting an excellent throw.

To get an excellent throw in Pokemon Go, the ball needs to bounce onto the Pokemon exactly in the middle of the green circles. This is where it will take some practice to get a really good aim within the game. The best advice would be, always make sure to hold your phone straight forward, not laying down or off to the side. Then try your best to swipe the ball straight forward and hit in the middle of the green area.
This is how to get an excellent throw in Pokemon Go. At first, it might be hard to get to the excellent level, but players can quickly accomplish getting a “nice” throw and work their way up from there. There are also curveballs, great, and excellent throws in the mobile game as well. With some practice and participating in Raids, all these different throws will become second nature. Also, look into the recently added Master Balls.
