Pokémon GO: 15 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

11. How To Throw A Curveball

Okay, you've caught a few Pokémon and you've ventured far and wide - maybe you want a bit more of a challenge?

To throw a curveball (which are worth more XP, but you risk burning through Pokéballs to do so), simply hold on the Pokéball and make a rotating motion until it sparkles - similar to how you modify items in Super Mario Maker.

Once this has happened, let it fly - and most likely miss - but eventually you'll get the hang of it. Combine with a Lucky Egg to double your base XP, and you'll be ranking up in no time.
