How to Get an Excellent Throw Pokémon GO
There are three kinds of throws you can make in Pokémon GO: nice, great and excellent. The kind of throw you make is determined by how small the shrinking circle is when you land the ball.
Hitting the Pokémon when the circle is over the guide circle gets you a Nice, halfway inside the circle is a Great and right when the circle is at it's smallest is Excellent.
The kinds of throws have different XP and catch modifiers. Nice throws have a 10 XP bonus, Great gives you 50 XP, and Excellent nets you 100 XP.
The better throws will be necessary to make when catching stronger or rarer Pokémon. Some Pokémon just have to be caught with an Excellent throw.
The best way to learn how to actually use an Excellent Throw is to practice making them. You'll have to get a feel for the timing. If you practice on small fry Pokémon you'll be sure to be ready with the Excellent throw when it counts.
