How to Get a Guaranteed Critical Catch on Any Pokémon!

[@davidcovelli8482]

I wouldn’t even call this an exploit. Seems like a legitimate feature added to reward the most difficult possible throws

[@davidcovelli8482]

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

[@Tooserioustolaugh]

I agree😂 thanks for nothing I guess

[@scarface99999999]

Ive accidently hit criticals going for excellents so either by luck but fs seems like a reward

[@Planetmango48]

Yeah.

[@miguel_7515]

You can also get critical catches with great throws

[@aangblaster]

The buddy bounce back works, but you had to already hit the ball in the target circle for it to count as a modifier.

[@Planetmango48]

Yep.

[@Epyxoid]

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.

[@cr_chain]

So it doesnt help hit one

[@SuperSpiderbite]

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

[@theknight1702]

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.

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!

[@NaoKazuyuki]

[@komoonkh]

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

[@elmhurstenglish5938]

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.

It's been so long since I've seen a Mystic Phone throw and that trash can throw was a wonderful return to form

[@KaleRakker]

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.

[@HZRD2431]

Sawk on deez... Most underrated saying ever.

[@metalscream3934]

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

[@jslabrat]

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.

[@jorgerodrigues5440]

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]

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.

[@Mr.Kaplen]

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.

[@jonathanvail9643]

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.

[@enhidri160]

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

[@InvisIsGone]

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.

[@antson03]

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.

[@支持民進黨下台]

@@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

[@Maethers]

Gotta appreciate that the gf doesn’t know what’s going on yet she shows support and happiness

[@KeiranYT]

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.

[@Astrothepro0]

A GAME THEORY

[@EndBoy.]

Did you know that on raid pokemon, if you try to get a crit the pokemon just jumps instantly.(IDK why)

[@FadedDog69]

3:08 fr sounds like garfield in the new movie

[@Royal.Airness23]

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.

[@fluteboy0924]

A cool video idea you could do with sinnoh tour coming up, would be a things to do around LA when you come visit.

[@Woodyedits111]

I have an idea. You could get a helmet and mount a GoPro on it so you can do Pokémon with 2 hands

[@LauraLouLou]

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

[@FizzlyCandy]

im sure that the system only works for pokemon that arent super huge like raid bosses, thats what i see at least

[@julianM2181]

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.

[@Teptagon]

Perfect, right after a galarian moltres ran away 2 days ago

[@wvnomad57]

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

[@Cubia4Eva]

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)

[@Brondog1]

I bet that circle has a great personality though

[@thegoodygames]

The way he just trashed his phone after the failed raid catch 😂

if your native refresh rate is on the bounce back does not hit inside the circle. Also, critical catch does not work on legendaries.

So if you catch 20+ pokemon during daily incense you have an increased chance of encountering a galar bird?

[@cocoachrispies]

Purely anecdotal , but all 6 of my bird encounters have been within the first 5-10 Daily Incense spawns.

[@donnakebab9055]

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 usually try throwing excellents for the exp too, don't get me wrong i'm not flaming, but you seem like you usually don't do that 😁 understandably so, you get your exp in other ways ... anyway, my point is that i throw a LOT of excellents and crit catch is not 100%, it just has a higher chance of happening on excellent throws 😅

[@antson03]

No it is literally 100% if you hit the smallest possible circle, not just an excellent throw. So if you think you hit the smallest possible circle and you didn’t get a critical catch, you didn’t hit the smallest possible circle. Alao what Imve read is a random critical catch is like 1/500 chance, so if you got one without the smallest circle it was just random.

@@antson03 i do get a lot of crit catch tho, but not on all excellents, then i probably don't alwasy hit the smallest possible circle but it's still excellent
