Pokemon Game Chat (PoGo, Let's Go, et al)

Advanced throwing:

  • Tap and hold the ball

  • The Catch Circle appears that will start out big and get smaller, then reset

  • Catch Circle Color Indicates difficulty of catching
    a) Green: Easy
    b) Yellow: Medium
    c) Red: Hard
    d) Can use berries or different types of pokeballs to make it easier to catch a pokemon

  • Catch Circle Size - the smaller the size, the higher chance of catching - your pokeball has to hit within the circle
    a) Full Circle: Nice!
    b) Half Size: Great!
    c) Smaller Size: Excellent!
    d) Can still catch a pokemon even if you don’t hit the circle, just no bonus for hitting outside the circle

  • Curveballs - increase chance of catching - stacks with catch circle bonus
    a) Tap and Hold Ball
    b) Swipe in small circles until ball is spinning and sparkling
    c) Throw ball towards the left/right depending on your clockwise/counterclockwise spin
    d) I think of it like a bowling ball going down the alley
    e) Faster spin = More curve

This concludes today’s lesson. Happy hunting!
