Its been now more than a month since the launch of Pokemon Go and it seems there’s more to the game than what players already know. Since Niantic isn’t quite fond of sharing much information about the game, it’s up to the players to figure out all the features and mechanics and with over a 100 million players, it would not take too long. In fact, someone has already found out a whole new method of catching Pokemon.
We thought that there were only two ways of throwing PokeBalls i.e the standard method, where you just flick a PokeBall at the Pokemon and the Curved method, where you spin the PokeBall in a direction before throwing it. However, there is a third method as well, which according to several reports is the best as it guarantees a perfect hit every time.
So if you find yourself struggling to hit a Pokemon, you can count on this trick. All you need to do is drag the ball to the bottom left corner of the screen, swipe up along the edge, and release when your thumb is perfectly aligned with the center of the circle. The closer you are to the edge of the screen, the better the throw. Check out how you can do this below (Courtesy of GamePress):
Since it is sort of similar to the standard method, you will not be granted with extra XP that you get when you throw a curve ball. Some players have tried using a combination of this new L throw and the traditional curved ball method. Check out the video below.
We expect Niantic to release a brand new update for the game soon so stay tuned for more details regarding Pokemon GO and its features. Meanwhile, let us know if you have come across any new feature in the comments below.
