Pokémon GO Gen 2: 9 New Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

5. Get Extra XP From Catching First Time

Remember the giddy thrill of catching a Pokémon from your first throw? You might not have done trigger hands and muttered "One hit, one kill" like I did, but the rush was still there.

Well, the game's actually going to reward you with more than the mere sense of satisfaction now, as there's a new First Throw bonus of 50 XP if you're able to snare your target on the opening attempt. If you weren't already trying to get it right from the off to conserve your balls and maximise your hunts, then this should incentivise you just that little bit further.

This, combined with the previously introduced bonuses and streaks, means that there's now the possibility of huge experience hauls from every single catch.
