Weirdly though, for the past couple months I’ve been trying to only hit the smallest excellents just to get more accurate. Haven’t payed much attention to how often I’m getting crits tho
Yes, I wanted to point this out myself. If you would throw an excellent, but it's invalid because the mon dodges it, but your buddy bounces it back to it, only then you get an excellent throw.
When I saw that Brandon was trying to test out the excellent throw feature, I knew it was going to be golden. Not just because Brandon can't throw an excellent ball to save his life, but that he'll go mad if he got a Galarian Articuno and had to miss it. Didn't disappoint. Love you Mystic7!
Man if i see how a pro PoGo player struggles with catching pokemon or missing excellent throws, it motivates me even more, props to him for making this video for us.
It's weird, as I could've sworn the buddy would make me hit excellent providing I had the circle set properly (even if I was off center). Now, since last week or so, it never does. Test it - I guess can test with nice throw too.
I know how it works. When you get a special throw like nice, great or excellent u dont get it. But when you hit it on the edge of the circle and still get the special throw thing u get a critical catch. Try it for yourselves.
The buddy only bounces to the place where you throw the ball, if it was inside excelent, you got a buddy help with excelent, if you miss excelent than the buddy Will give you great, nice ir nothing, based on where you hit the circle [4:40 timer]
Well, I just caught 2 pokemon in a row and had one of these shake once and caught throws and while I was trying to hit an excellent, none were even nice throws and I still got the animation of catching within 1 shake
Apparently if u do the daily incense like 5 mins before 4.57. A rumor is floating about that at 4.57 it's guaranteed for a legendary bird to pop up....
hey Mystic7! loved this video, couldnt stop laughing at those failed throw attempts - anyways, i accidentally managed to do the buddy bounce excellent throw that you were struggling at, and it crit catched! i do have a vid of me catching it if you'd like to see so just lmk
My experience with Excellent throws is that you have the least chance possible to catch the pokeon out of all "special type" throws UNLESS you get the smallest for the instant catch.
This method is confirmed by myself and a lot of others to not work with premier balls. If you do get a critical catch on a raid pokémon it was only that random critical catch without this method.
@@antson03yeah, definitely doesn’t work with T-5 raid boss. Tested out myself on Landorus, three times where I hit smallest circle all burst out in one shake - player since 2016 and have been throwing excellents since they scaled the excellent throw XP
@@einherjar3095 what I’ve gathered from personal research and stuff I’ve read. Doesn’t work on legendary, mythical (not 100% sure) or ultra beasts. And not with premier balls.
It'd be better if it said Perfect! when you get the smallest excellent throw but I'll take what I can get. On a related note, I encountered a galarian moltres and tried to do this only to miss horribly, it then not only didn't run but the next bad throw got me the 1% critical capture.
I'm pretty sure its not a glitch, this is just a theory but I think the game is just programmed to increase your chance of getting a critical catch when you hit an excellent with a smaller circle so its practically guaranteed if you make your circle small enough. However, again, this is just a theory.

Hi Mystic! Love your channel. Did you recently visit one of my local LA sports card shops? I tried to complete a deck.. but I guess you bought all the singles! Lol
All my buddies think I'm crazy for this but other than my Golden Razz I save all of my Pink Nanabs & when I go to catch my raid Encounters (even Legendarys) 80% of my throws I'll use the bananas. I almost always catch the mon using the nanabs, rarely do I lose one.
LMAO the reaction faces in these peoples thumbnails looks like they might have been standing next to someone while peeing and happen to look over... LMAO
I hope I’m wrong, but my prediction is that if and when Level 60 comes out, critical catches will be needed in much the same way we needed 999 excellent throws to reach Level 50.
I have had plenty of “critical catches” (where the ball gets one shake then the little animation) on great and or nice throws.. is this not normal orr ?
Congrats on your work here and I done this test myself using an Ultra Ball on a Galar bird and I was lucky to get it. I still try it out on pokemon but some good catches, others not times not so much. But thanks again for theses pokemon catching tips.
Hey guys! I just restarted playing Pokemon go a week ago, is there any tips you have? I stopped playing in 2016 so I basically know nothing about the game. I’m mainly struggling against the event raids Pokémon’s, like mega steelix or shadow ho-oh, even the tyranitar raids… there’s no one from where I live that plays pokemon go (at least that’s what I feel like lol) and my strongest Pokemons only have 1909 cp. I’m level 24 btw. Is there a way to obtain stronger Pokémon’s? Thanks in advance if you respond to me!
Hi MYSTIC7 I was hoping you could do a video on Team Go Rocket and how I get their first Pokémon almost all the time I tried a method and I got the second Pokémon by allowing my first Pokémon to be defeated. Thanks
I opened POGO while watching this to test it out, got an excellent throw and boom critical catch. It's definitely a high chance for a critical catch on an excellent throw, whether or not it's 100%.
I promise you this has been patched now. I lost out on a weather boosted 3040CP Gal Zapdos today and Nanab berried it with the smallest possible excellent throw and it broke out…
It has not been patched, I did a couple today. But I did read that is not possible to make a guaranteed critical catch on legendary pokemon. It is also not possible on a raid pokémon with a premier ball, that is confirmed by myself and other people.
@@miguel_7515 oh yeah… how could I forget… because that worked so well the DOZENS of other times I’ve seen the birds… This critical catch glitch doesn’t work on legendary Pokémon…
Bro, why are you always late to deliver the news? If I'm not mistaken, Niantic did mention this was a feature and was announced almost a month ago?? Maybe. Regardless, TrainerTips already have a video on this feature and the critical catch is only for wild spawns according to Niantic. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on raids, although I'm not sure about raids.
just know you can get critical on shadow pokemon which ive been knew, i had a shadow cranidos & hit the little circle & got the critical catch like that just so you know since you couldnt do it but yeah it works
I managed to crit catch a latios on my last ball by getting the smallest circle, thank got i did because I'd used a remote raid pass and am free to play 😅
Makes sense to me. I wouldn't be surprised if this was less an exploit and more just an intended mechanic. It's a reward for hitting an incredibly precise shot. I struggle just to reliably hit excellt throws; no way this will help me.
I wouldn’t even call this an exploit. Seems like a legitimate feature added to reward the most difficult possible throws
Weirdly though, for the past couple months I’ve been trying to only hit the smallest excellents just to get more accurate. Haven’t payed much attention to how often I’m getting crits tho
I agree😂 thanks for nothing I guess
Ive accidently hit criticals going for excellents so either by luck but fs seems like a reward
Yeah.
You can also get critical catches with great throws
The buddy bounce back works, but you had to already hit the ball in the target circle for it to count as a modifier.
Yep.
Yes, I wanted to point this out myself. If you would throw an excellent, but it's invalid because the mon dodges it, but your buddy bounces it back to it, only then you get an excellent throw.
So it doesnt help hit one
Congratulations on the Galarian Articuno! Good to see that you finally caught something you’ve been hunting for months
Did we watch the same video?
@@ericp1139 He caught one with a Masterball but is saving that for another video. The second one was a failed catch
Has he posted the video where he used the masterball to catch it?
Your aim was TRAGIC on this vid🤣 also, I think the bounce back feature only gets excellent if that’s what you threw before the pokemon attacks you
Some times I’ve definitely had what would be excellent throws get bounced back and be excellent, but I’ve also had complete fails become excellent.
Same here @@theknight1702
13:25 😅
In the trash it goes
When I saw that Brandon was trying to test out the excellent throw feature, I knew it was going to be golden. Not just because Brandon can't throw an excellent ball to save his life, but that he'll go mad if he got a Galarian Articuno and had to miss it. Didn't disappoint. Love you Mystic7!
It started off funny but by the end it was just painful to watch.

Man if i see how a pro PoGo player struggles with catching pokemon or missing excellent throws, it motivates me even more, props to him for making this video for us.
He brings out entertaining content though, longer the videos the better
He makes it entertaining so I don't mind it 😅
The buddy bounce always hits the same spot as you threw. So if you hit excellent, it hits it too. If you dont, it never does it either
It's weird, as I could've sworn the buddy would make me hit excellent providing I had the circle set properly (even if I was off center). Now, since last week or so, it never does. Test it - I guess can test with nice throw too.
Not always mate
This is the letter A spam i did
I know how it works. When you get a special throw like nice, great or excellent u dont get it. But when you hit it on the edge of the circle and still get the special throw thing u get a critical catch. Try it for yourselves.
Sawk on deez... Most underrated saying ever.
It's been so long since I've seen a Mystic Phone throw and that trash can throw was a wonderful return to form
The buddy only bounces to the place where you throw the ball, if it was inside excelent, you got a buddy help with excelent, if you miss excelent than the buddy Will give you great, nice ir nothing, based on where you hit the circle [4:40 timer]

DONT MOVE AN INCH

I know for a fact..when the buddy catch feature first started…it did an excellent throw almost every time.
It certainly doesn’t now, though.
Well, I just caught 2 pokemon in a row and had one of these shake once and caught throws and while I was trying to hit an excellent, none were even nice throws and I still got the animation of catching within 1 shake

How you got the bounce back sableye was exactly how I crit caught a Galar Zapdoes.
hey Mystic7! loved this video, couldnt stop laughing at those failed throw attempts - anyways, i accidentally managed to do the buddy bounce excellent throw that you were struggling at, and it crit catched! i do have a vid of me catching it if you'd like to see so just lmk
My experience with Excellent throws is that you have the least chance possible to catch the pokeon out of all "special type" throws UNLESS you get the smallest for the instant catch.
I have gotten a critical catch with Necrozma but it was after I got the Excellent throw meaning it was just a regular throw
the real trick of getting galarian birbs is to use incense 3min before the hour
Gonna try it tomorrow. Has it worked for you every time?
@@basedjj93 I tried it the other day and it didn't work, so it's not 100%
Gotta appreciate that the gf doesn’t know what’s going on yet she shows support and happiness
It can work on a tier 5 raids, you need to use a golden razz berry instead of nanab berry. I had made like 1 or 2 critical catch doing a tier 5 raid.
This method is confirmed by myself and a lot of others to not work with premier balls. If you do get a critical catch on a raid pokémon it was only that random critical catch without this method.

I, as well of thousands of others, have proven this to not work.
@@einherjar3095 ok, thanks. I might have remembered it wrong then.

When I have gotten this, just 5-6 times, the circle was very small but I did not get the “excellent” animation.

A GAME THEORY
Did you know that on raid pokemon, if you try to get a crit the pokemon just jumps instantly.(IDK why)
I just caught a Squirtle and had a great throw instead excellent , is it a glitch?

I have to disagree that the critical throw only happens with the smallest circle, I've personally seen it with a nice or great throw
Every throw has a very very small chance to be critical. Hitting the smallest circle is just a guranteed critical (except for 5star and so on)
3:08 fr sounds like garfield in the new movie
The way he just trashed his phone after the failed raid catch 😂
Hi Mystic! Love your channel. Did you recently visit one of my local LA sports card shops? I tried to complete a deck.. but I guess you bought all the singles! Lol
im sure that the system only works for pokemon that arent super huge like raid bosses, thats what i see at least
Did you do the polygon community day?
WHAT IS YOUR FIRST HUNDO
easily one of the best videos on your channel
3:22 it is samler than a BRAIN😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:06 THAT SOUNDS LIKE TF2
if you have a gyarados that is high cp that means it only does dragon type moves
Buddy bounce back crit catch does work. I do it accidentally all the time.
I bet that circle has a great personality though
if your native refresh rate is on the bounce back does not hit inside the circle. Also, critical catch does not work on legendaries.
A cool video idea you could do with sinnoh tour coming up, would be a things to do around LA when you come visit.
Perfect, right after a galarian moltres ran away 2 days ago
All my buddies think I'm crazy for this but other than my Golden Razz I save all of my Pink Nanabs & when I go to catch my raid Encounters (even Legendarys) 80% of my throws I'll use the bananas. I almost always catch the mon using the nanabs, rarely do I lose one.

i had a critical catch happen on Kyogre after a raid today :D
I hit the smallest excellent throw on a Maractus and got critical
Tier 5 critical catches are possible, got it on a Darkrai
I got a buddy bounce crit catch on a Galarian moltres
I have an idea. You could get a helmet and mount a GoPro on it so you can do Pokémon with 2 hands
it's a pretty well known feature at this point, i dont think it works on galarian birds tho
It does not work on legendary pokémon or with premier balls.
It does work on the birds, and shadow Pokemon but no raided mons
@@BrysonWood-dn5hl have you done it or seen someone else get a crit catch on a galarian bird more than once? Random crit catches can still happen.

Was playing sword while watching this and got a critical capture at the same time as you 17:40
Whose that pokemon? 10:21
Volume up!
So if you catch 20+ pokemon during daily incense you have an increased chance of encountering a galar bird?
Purely anecdotal , but all 6 of my bird encounters have been within the first 5-10 Daily Incense spawns.
I’ve got a few critical catches on legendary raids so it is possible, but I think you need to use a Golden Razz berries instead.
Hi MYSTIC7 I was hoping you could do a video on Team Go Rocket and how I get their first Pokémon almost all the time I tried a method and I got the second Pokémon by allowing my first Pokémon to be defeated. Thanks
Does anyone know for the in person Sinnoh Tour event does the city wide addon reach to Disneyland?
How come that I do on Shadow Ho-Oh, it doesn't work? I did two times in a row and it fled.

got a shinny pico today at the libary i can get an excellent on my buddy throw but i think my buddy likes me more
I’ve only seen one galarian bird and it would’ve been my first legendary bird but I didn’t catch it 🤦♂️
ive never seen somone so happy to see there pokemon break out of the ball before
did 50+ excellent throws on the smallest possible circle on Thunderous and still not critical catch. think the set up prevented it imo
