Summary
APokemon GOplayer has discovered a huge trick for getting guaranteed critical catches.Pokemon GOplayers have various ways to improve their odds of catching Pokemon, and catch some of the best critters in Niantic’s game.
One way forPokemon GOplayers to improve their chances is to use special types of Poke Balls. Another method to get a successful catch is to learn how tomake better throws inPokemon GO, and hope for a critical catch. Introduced by Niantic in 2017, the critical catch is a rarePokemon GOphenomenon in which trainers catch Pokemon after a single shake. For years,Pokemon GOplayers have thought that critical catches were luck-based, but one trainer recently shared a gimmick with the potential to impact the game’s meta.
Reddit user Zombie_Alpaca_Lips discovered that to get a guaranteed critical catch,Pokemon GOplayers must land an excellent throw in the smallest circle possible. They say they had spent the last few weeks testing the strategy after becoming suspicious about recent catches, confirming that a critical catch is guaranteed when trainers land an excellent throw in the smallest circle possible. The player explains that they have succeeded every time they have done this with standard Pokemon, and recorded three videos showing how the method works in practice. Although they have proved that it is possible to get critical catches with regular Pokemon, the OP says this strategy still needs to be testedbattlingPokemon GO’s raid bosses.
Although the strategy still needs to be further tested, one player said they caught a customed Glaceon in a raid, increasing the possibility of players achieving the same with Legendary Pokemon. With the discovery of the guaranteed critical catch,Pokemon GOtrainers are also wondering if it’s possible toget the Galarian Birds, which are among the hardest creatures to get in the game. This trick also increases players' hopes of catching other Pokemon such as Frigibax and Jangmo-o, which are extremely rare to see, so trainers need to make every opportunity to catch them count.
The year is ending, butPokemon GOalready has new content confirmed for 2024. In addition to the return of the Pokemon GO Tour, January’s Community Day Pokemon has already been confirmed, with the charismatic Rowlet taking center stage.Pokemon GOwill also have aNew Year event with customized Pokemon, raids with Ultra Beasts, special bonuses, and the chance to catch shiny Pokemon.
