The spin cast can be very practical, but only once you've mastered it! Here are a few tips to help you avoid mistakes, so that your effect throws are effective every time:
1. Throw too early or too late
Depending on the Pokémon you encounter, the power of the throw will be totally different. In fact, the further you release your finger from the screen lateyour throw will have more power and will go far.
Conversely, the more you let go of your finger earlythe less power and will fall close to you.
2. Don't rotate the Poké Ball enough
Making a complete turn isn't necessarily enough to create the effect throw! So be careful to make several turns before you start throwing your Poké Ball, otherwise the game will consider you to be making a classic throw.
3. Target the Pokémon, not the center of the circle
When you make an effect throwIt is important not to target the Pokémon directly, but to throw to the left or right of it, depending on the direction in which you turn the Poké Ball:
- If you launch into the clockwise directionthen launch your Poké Ball on the right of your screen.
- If you launch into the anti-clockwisein which case you'll need to launch your Poké Ball left.
