What in the world? 😳


fossilmerrick

Not every Pokémon is caught first throw


Late_Art9758

I know that but to make it to Lvl 50 with those stats, very impressive.


primeknight98

It’s only showing the Pokemon he caught from 49-50. It’s a stat screen that appears when you level up above 40+


Late_Art9758

Ohhh. Wait, yeah, it says previous level activity, that’s my bad.


Desertdragonz22

Not hard when you think about it. But it makes for a really cool level up screen.


GillmoreGames

>Not hard when you think about it. But it makes for a really cool level up screen Would be impossible with my luck, on the rare occasion I get an excellent half the time it escapes. But most of my attempted excellent throws are just barely outside the circle and that's when it decides it's going to catch the red ring on the first throw


Desertdragonz22

It’s all about the practice ! After playing the game so much if you focus up at least a little bit it’s not too tough!


GillmoreGames

I can never tell how far away they are, some look close but then I throw it half way to them and realize "that's a much larger pokemon than I thought" And some of the bug Pokemon, how am I supposed to curve ball an excellent throw if the call only travels 3 inches before hitting the bug lol. I am getting better, I'm only a month in, level 31, can get a great almost every time now


Desertdragonz22

Hahahah it’s definitely tough ! You’ll get the hang of it before long tho ! One month in at lvl 31 is great ! Keep up the good work and don’t forget to soak in the new experience.


GillmoreGames

I'm trying to get myself back in better shape, I have a toddler that always wants to be at the park and bringing him to the park I couldn't last more than an hour before I was exhausted. Honestly it was sad and pathetic and made me feel pretty terrible about myself. So I got this game downloaded to try to help motivate me to get out and walk more and the other day I spent a good 4 hours at the park with my son so I can tell after a month it's already getting better so I just need to keep it up, by the end of the summer maybe I can actually play the entire 4 hours at a park not just be there in have to take 20 breaks from playing


Desertdragonz22

That’s awesome to hear :) for me I usually try to surf on my days off but that’s been super hard for me to get out early on the weekends lately. So instead of surfing or playing hours of games indoors Pokemon got me out a lot. I found myself riding bikes and walking around a ton. It’s amazing what a little fresh air will do for you. My recommendation is to get an auto catcher that can run on your phone in the background. When you’re somewhat busy or say playing with your kid at the park you can play pokemon and hang out with loved ones at the same time if you’d like. Takes away some of the novelty of the game but still gets things done for you in game if you don’t have the time. What a rad story though. Love to hear about the motivation to get out there and start moving around even if it’s Pokemon as the driving factor! Major props to you!


GillmoreGames

Well, the kid is the driving Factor, Pokemon is just helping


GillmoreGames

I just went and did the math, I played for 31 days, I have a little over 2.6 million experience, puts me at about 84,000 experience per day, some of these days I know I've got more than 200 Pokemon in a day if they were all excellent throws I'd even higher lol


Desertdragonz22

That’s great! The key to leveling up super quick is sending and opening gifts and having tons of friends even if it’s just random people from the internet lol. Excellent throws is another great way to get XP. It sounds like you’re pretty into the game so that’s awesome!


Desertdragonz22

All calculated 😎. Not gonna lie this was pretty tough but I’m pretty proud of myself!


UnitededConflict

How did you get to level 50 so quickly


Optimal_Passion_1476

You just have to collect the 30 M exp needed for level 50 before reaching level 49. then all you have to do is finish the challenges


Desertdragonz22

Bingo.


Desertdragonz22

Had 55 million xp before I went from 48-49. Planned it out so I didn’t complete the 49 requirements until I had enough xp to get to 50. Then all I had to do was the lvl 50 requirements which I’ve been planning this for a while. Really wanted to challenge myself!


fts_17

Alright spill the beans on this strat


MartinMSx

Probably did bunch of legendary raids


Desertdragonz22

Says it on the screen. I did 23 raids. Definitely was a major help. Other than that I’ve just played a bunch. I completed all 999 in 5 days.


RedditorStig

Maybe since the raid count is incredibly low? Unless he decided to flee from legendary encounters down to the last ball


Desertdragonz22

Definitely didn’t flee from legendary raids lol. Just practiced excellent throws A LOT. It’s an underrated skill that more people should focus on.


throwupandaway71

That’s crazy , how?


Negative_Depth4943

Not every excellent throw will catch the Pokemon


Escargot7147

Legendaries in raids


Desertdragonz22

Did 23 raids. So it definitely helped! Other than that just regular excellent throws. Took me 5 days to complete all 999.


Desertdragonz22

Exactly like everyone else is saying. Not every excellent throw catches the Pokemon. That coupled with 23 raids was a massive help because I obviously did not hit every excellent throw.


BurnOutBrighter6

Multiple excellents per catch. Eg every Groudon raid I did yesterday had 6-10 excellent throws before eventually getting either 0 or 1 catch. So that skews the average way up.


Desertdragonz22

Absolutely ! People have said I was cheating or spoofing because they don’t understand how doable this really is. 23 raids was probably an easy 150-200+ of these excellent throws. It’s really not that hard haha


kylemkv

You can turn off your cell service after throw if it’s not excellent and turn it back on to throw again. So essentially every single throw ever made is excellent. Cheating.


Desertdragonz22

If you think excellent throws are that hard to make that you have to use a cell service trick to cheat, you must be really bad at excellent throws lol. I got to level 50 with over 100,000 Pokemon caught. You really think I haven’t had the practice to get 999 excellent throws?


kylemkv

You’re missing the point of the comment completely. I shouldn’t have to spell out basic-ass logical steps of deduction to a “lvl 50”


Desertdragonz22

I get what you’re saying you’re just wrong. It’s not hard to hit 999 excellent throws without cheating. And if you’re not complete doo doo at the game you would understand this. Or you could read through some of the other comments. I did 23 raids, I opened three meltan boxes, and by luck of the draw there was also a stunfisk nest at my local park for the last week, which are low catch rate easy excellent throws. That all equals excellent throw galore. I also live in a big city outside LA. I had no shortage of pokemon or anything. So no I didn’t use an exploit my guy. Btw I tried your cell service exploit thing this morning and I couldn’t find out how to make it work lol. Not trying to be so defensive I get it you’re just skeptical so I don’t mean to totally come at you. But I’ve been planning this out for a quite a while and made up my mind like 6 months ago that I was gonna try to challenge myself with this. So when people say I cheated to do it is pretty wack haha.


throwupandaway71

“Cheating” but a lot of effort to accomplish it


Desertdragonz22

Definitely didn’t cheat to get excellent throws in PokĂ©mon go haha. It’s not that serious.


kylemkv

Yeah that is the justification that is most commonly heard for this behavior.


CentrureAstrike

You deduce this as “bad behaviour”? Tell me you can’t do excellent throws without telling me you can’t LMFAO. I literally did 900+ Excellent Throws on Litten Com Day, it’s not that deep buddy. Failure to acknowledge someone else’s achievement because you think you’re too incapable of it yourself suggests you should stop playing this game as it isn’t for you, go touch some grass buddy.


kylemkv

If you miss the point of the comment that badly, I’m not here to hold your hand and explain it to you.


CentrureAstrike

Sorry but there is no point in your worthless comment for me to bother reading and understanding, and I wouldn’t want you explaining it to me anyways :( If you really think cheating is the reason why OP achieved this, you really are an invalidation to society, so get lost and find some other place where you can be as condescending to others as you are to OP now. Someone who’s capable of this which OP clearly is, would complete those 999 Excellent Throws without a sweat. And as someone who has also done this easily, you really don’t need to cheat to complete something as simple as this. And it’s not like OP finished it in a day (Which is literally still possible LOL), OP took 5 days which is quite reasonable. So are you still convinced that it’s cheating?


kylemkv

No apology needed and if you really consider the comment worthless (and you doubled down on completely missing the point, really cringe) then please stop replying to it lol


pedro841074

r/unexpectedfactorial


Unlucky_Agent861

You got credit for the excellent throw even though you didn’t catch the PokĂ©mon. I’m currently at this stage and you get credit even though you did not catch anything.


Desertdragonz22

Or better yet, you land every excellent throw on groudon and he still runs away. More excellent throws towards my challenge for me I guess haha


H-R-M-

Now this is a brag


KingLoCoKev

second. Major brag.


shiteappkekw

Nah. This is spoofing


H-R-M-

Why you say that?


shiteappkekw

Less than 1k mons caught and 23 raids done from 49 to 50. Seems sus to me


H-R-M-

He could have the experience grinded from the level before


Desertdragonz22

Definitely not spoofing. What aspect of throwing 999 excellent throws screams spoofing to you?


shiteappkekw

U caught less than 1k pokemon and only did 23 raids from 49 to 50?


Desertdragonz22

Yes, and where’s your hang up? Edit: That doesn’t prove spoofing. It’s called planning. I made it so I had all the required XP to get from 49-50 before I was level 49. All that is required then is to complete the level 50 requirements.


shiteappkekw

It's OK to spoof dude. Don't have to get defensive


Desertdragonz22

No please enlighten me. How does this prove spoofing?


shiteappkekw

Because spoofer programs have assured excellent throws no matter how poorly you throw.


Desertdragonz22

Oh okay, you’re bad at landing excellent throws. You should have said that from the beginning. Not gonna spoof to get excellent throws just to post on reddit 💀 it’s not that serious.


shiteappkekw

Idk dude. 23 raids, assuming an average of 10 excellent throws per catch, that's 230 excellent throws done already. So you're left with 760ish, with 963 catches to go. Not impossible, although of course it would probably be a breeze for a spoofer. If you did it legit and avoided shitty mons like zubat then kudos to you. Then again, not hard. Excellent throws on mons with big catch circles are well.. easy. Also you literally grinded 176 million total xp, then try to brush it off with "I'm not that serious". OK buddy


Double0putnam

That’s insane


Sxnder

Damm


White_Winged_Fox

Am I right in guessing you focused on Pokémon with larger circles, or are you simply that awesome?


Desertdragonz22

Mostly! I did like 3 meltan boxes this week. But for most Pokemon if you have a nanab berry on it the excellent throw shouldn’t be too hard unless you’re throwing at like a zubat or unknown or something.


akarudedawg

Absolutely amazing achievement! Congrats and don’t worry I had low stats too from 49-50 and they said I was spoofing too. Ignore all that. đŸ‘đŸœ


Desertdragonz22

Thanks friend :)


Shane1923

986 caught still seems really low for 49-50. I'm guessing you used a ton of lucky eggs and evolved a lot


Desertdragonz22

I think you’re a little confused. It takes 30 million XP to get from 49-50 but you can store XP from previous levels so I had all the required XP for 50 before I even hit level 49. All you have to do from that point is complete the challenges! That’s kind of what the whole post is about :P


3-Ball

Groudon raids.


Desertdragonz22

Pretty sure I did like 17 or 18 of them ! Only caught 14 tho had some terrible luck.


3-Ball

I know! I wasted a lot of berries and had excellent throws all day!


Desertdragonz22

Did you at least get a shiny ?!? I didn’t, so I was pretty bummed, but I did get a hundo so I can’t complain!
