Is there a trick to making excellent throws in Pokémon GO?

Yes, the main trick to excellent throws in Pokémon GO is the "circle lock" method: hold the Pokéball to shrink the target circle to the desired size (excellent), wait for the Pokémon to attack, and then release the ball to hit the now-stationary circle for a guaranteed excellent throw, especially useful for Legendaries and tough catches. Practice with larger Pokémon like Slowpoke or Wailmer and aim for the center of the shrinking ring to build muscle memory, often starting from the bottom corner of the screen for better range and control.

Yes, you can trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking using methods like GPS spoofing apps (iAnyGo, AnyTo) with virtual joysticks or by shaking your phone in a sock, which plays on GPS/Adventure Sync inaccuracies, but these can violate terms of service; official methods focus on using Adventure Sync for real steps, while non-walking tricks use location manipulation or device shaking for buddy candy and egg hatching.

Does excellent throw increase catch rate?

Yes, landing an Excellent Throw significantly increases your catch rate in Pokémon Go, providing the largest multiplier among Nice, Great, and Excellent tiers, especially when combined with a curveball and berries for the best odds, though RNG (luck) still plays a role and some Pokémon are just harder to catch. The catch bonus scales with the size of the colored circle when the ball hits, so the smallest Excellent circle gives the best bonus within that tier.

How to circle lock in Pokemon Go?

The Circle Lock technique in Pokémon Go lets you set the catch circle size and keep it locked while you wait for the Pokémon to attack, ensuring your throw lands at the intended "nice," "great," or "excellent" level, preventing the circle from changing or the ball from being knocked away. You do this by holding the Pokéball until the circle shrinks to your desired size, then releasing it; wait for the Pokémon's attack animation, and throw the ball halfway through the animation to hit it as the circle reappears at the set size.
