Having trouble hitting curveballs? Not sure what strategy to use? Nerd Fitness team member Baker the Juggernaut came up with this method that makes hitting those shots significantly easier.
The curveball has a few benefits:
- It can’t be deflected (curved away) by a Pokemon
- Gives a 10XP “Curveball bonus” (10% on every catch is nothing to sneeze at!)
- Is currently believed to decrease the chance the Pokemon escapes the ball after being hit
See how it’s done:

In case you’re a video skipper, here’s a text description:
Instead of awkwardly trying to spin with your finger then hit a precise trajectory on your throw, simply bring the ball to the opposite side, then down and around. Your release point dictates how far the ball will go. We’ve found this to be the simplest method of consistently hitting curveballs.
