Watching Nick finally clean out his research catches was the real reason to watch the video. Great tips and explanations for beginner and expert catching techniques
Now i am waiting for him to finish all his special researches ^^ I am genuinely not able to stack researches because I can’t bear the little orange icon that says that I have something to do!
Why are the pokemon rezzing so quickly in the AR in this video? When I use AR, the software takes thirty seconds to a minute to decide where to set the pokemon within in the camera view.
Been playing this game since day 1, and while I know all these tips already, I'll still watch your videos because the content is so good, and I appreciate what you do for the community. Keep up the great content!
@detailwerkzdallas Uhh yeah... that's kinda my point. I want to plug his videos for new players because I respect his content. I'm also the guy who will call out other content creators for over-hyping certain things in PoGo. So... sit down lol.
I wish there was a check box in settings to be able to decrease animation overall. I would love for less animation when overtaking gyms, it just takes so long.
Just as an FYI, once you've set your circle size, you don't actually have to set it again unless you throw a ball too late. So long as you let go before the circle comes back after the attack animation, it will always be the same size no matter how many balls you throw or how many attacks the pokemon does.
I think Nick kept repeating it just for demonstration purposes but I also was waiting for him to say that you only need to do it once per encounter (if the timing of your throws is right).
I've had people argue with me about that because they couldn't get it to work. Then I watched them throw, and they'd always throw too late and just tell me I'm wrong. lol it's so frustrating because they are so into Pokemon GO and are nearly level 50's.
loving these old school trainer tips videos even when I feel like I know everything (Having played since 2016) I always end up learning something thanks nick!
I've been looking for this type of video for a while now. Seeing the changes that have occurred since the gamer first came out is quite interesting. I know not all of the changes have been favorably accepted but it is interesting to see what had changed over the years.
tbh you dont even need to spin the ball when u ''circle lock'' it.. i just push on the ball and hold until the circle is the size of an excellent.. works better imo :) just a tip
A tip for using the Quick Catch on a more difficult Pokémon, or a Pokémon that has appeared from a lure that you fear might disappear from the map if you leave the catch screen. Perform Nick's Quick-Catch as described, but don't Flee until you see the Pokéball shake a 3rd time. That 3rd shake is a guarantee that the Pokémon is caught, so you can flee as soon as you see it, and know that the Pokémon is caught. If the Pokémon breaks out of the ball, you can re-perform the Quick-Catch again, and wait on the shakes again just to be sure you catch it. additional note, Quick-Catch fleeing often leaves a 'Ghost' of the caught Pokémon on the map, which will disappear when tapped on. However, Pokémon from incense will react like they haven't been caught, and bring you back to the catch screen. If a berry was used before you tried to catch it, that berry will also appear to still appear to be in effect (despite how the berry's effect should wear off when the Pokémon breaks out of a ball). Those Pokémon are already Caught or have Fled, so don't waste time trying to catch them again. In the case of a Pokémon who does not have a berry effect applied. if attempting to use a berry results in an error, that Pokémon is also already gone, you can ignore it and move on. (This also applies to Photo-bomb Pokémon. And if you just want to remove them from the map, you'll have to just throw the ball and wait for the Ghost to break out and flee)
I have a question. Lets say I used this quick catch method and left early. But the pokemon managed to escape. Does this pokemon also disappear from the map?
Here was me thinking that clearing your stack would finally stop your research button from being orange. But you don't clear half your special research so it's still there 🙈
Nice video for new players. I wish the stack box will let me know when is full (100) instead of making me loose a Pokémon. Pretty sure I’ve lost few myself, so I try to catch them from time to time to make more room. 😅
Smacking my own face* I wish this video was out sooner, but thank you Nick for the very insightful information. My son and I will be using this tips in the future :)
Guessing you’re a new comer too Pokemon Go then since this info has been out for years so most long term players already knew about these tricks (by my definition I’m classifying a new comer too Pokemon Go that they played the game no more than a year and or did start back in the day but took a very long break from the game but recently came back too it)
Disclaimer to the quick catch method when used on incense attracted Pokémon, they stay on the map and still allow you to encounter them but they disappear on the first rock of the pokeball when “caught” a 2nd time.
or make a mental note of cp and check you catch bag, it also does this (spawn stays on screen) for photo encounters like smeargle if you fast catch those too
do a 2nd try , i u hit the target and the Ball amount reduces by 1 it shouldn't be catched first try. If the amount stays the same u either catch or it flee
I tend to do the slower fast catch method for these Pokemon where in you trigger a fast catch but you wait until you see the start of the third rocking animation to flee so you know you've caught it and even though it will stay on the map you know there is no point in clicking on it to return to the encounter screen with it.
I have watched many circle lock videos, but I have never been able to do it. I watch yours, test it again, and nail it first time. Cheers Nick! Enjoy your trip!
One other reason for unstacking, is if you happen to be 100km away from your home city. If you unstack in a far away location, you suddenly get up to 100 Pokémon that you can trade away for at least +3 candies (more if a special event such as this season Go)
I think its worth saying as I just finished catching my entire stack after noticing the 1st thing was changing, The stack limit is 99 and not 100. After 99 things are stored, upon storing another encounter it will start knocking out the first one on the stack.
Great to see these tips all in one place! I want to share a slight modification of the quick catch technique, for use when you want to be sure you caught the mon, and you might not be able to re-encounter it. Maybe you're a passenger in a car or something. Anyway, use the same technique, but just wait until the third shake before you run - you can still skip the screens where it displays the catch XP and the mon's info card. And if it breaks out, you're still in the encounter and you can have another go. The other thing you didn't mention is buddy assist - as I'm sure you know, but people reading these comments might not, a great or higher level buddy walking with you can bounce the ball back if the mon attacks while you're throwing. Saves your ball, and might save your catch as well. All the other information about catch modifiers and throwing technique still applies when using buddy assist. And another reason to berry your mon before you stack them - you don't have to worry about stocking up on pinaps or whatever before you catch your stacked mon. The berry will be right there and ready to go when you get to the catch screen.
Great video! The only thing I'd add is the actual % of using the golden berry + ultra ball + curve ball + excellent throw, i know it's just an easy addition, but i think it'd be a cool fact to know
You can’t really add any percentage since every pokemon has different catch rates But to give an idea on the example mewtu Golden razz + curve + excellent = 16% Golden razz + curve = 9% Curve = 4% Regular throw without anything = 2% Meaning with the best catch odd and throwing that 13 times in a row you have a 89% odd of one of the balls actually catching it
@@mitzki1214 i was thinking more of the total catch multipliers. for example, ultra ball has a 2.0 catch multiplier, golden raspberry is 2.5, so if you do a normal throw with an ultra ball and a golden berry, you have a 4.5 catch multiplier
something like this: - ultra ball → 2.0 - golden raspberry → 2.5 - curveball → 1.7 - max excellent throw → 2.0 -platinum medal of the Pokémon's type → 1.4 (not sure if the Pokémon has dual typing, this multiplier works for both typings) if we add all this, we get a 9.6 catch multiplier edit: i'm not sure if this is how it works, so don't trust my math
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! It's EXACTLY, 100% what I wanted to have, so I could send to any new trainer/whoever. Bookmarked and greatly appreciated! I hope you see my comment :> #TheGOAT #BestPoGoRUclipsr
My Tip: Give the pokemon in the research Stack a berry. if you claim rewards and check the stack and see there is a pokemon without a berry, you know, it was overwrite and your 100 are full. So you wont loose many pokemon from the stack
On Android devices you can unlock developer options and add a "sensors off" tile to the shortcuts drop-down menu. This allows you to position the pokemon in AR mode and then disable the sensor which will lock the pokemon in place. This way you can AR quick catch without the pokemon moving around on the screen. It makes quick-catching much easier.
Good for you for making this video.. its been a long time coming for all the new players.. seeing this is making me reminis to all your begining videos where you were figuring all this out and doing the math.
Hey man, good to see you're still at it! I watched a bunch of your videos when your channel started, then my kid lost interest in the game. Now he's back at it again, so we're re-learning how to play with all the new features.
Thought this was a vid from 2016, but I do appreciate videos like this. I've been quick catching for over 3 years now, could not imagine playing without that technique. I hope many others start to use it now!
At this point, things like research reward stacking are clearly accepted as part of Niantic's game. The one QOL improvement I desperately want is a counter on the stack.
There is an odd bug that I found when fighting a grunt who had Cacnea as it's starter, Cacturne as it's second and to be honest I don't remember the third Pokemon. When fighting this grunt if you switch to your second pokemon after defeating the first one you might get the Cacturne, instead of the Cacnea. I've done this multiple times to make sure I wasn't imagining it. My second pokemon was a Melometal with Superpower as it's charge move.
I feel like an explanation of what happens when you do the quick catch could be useful. First off that the pokémon may remain on the map for a moment before it disappears and that clicking on it will make it poof away or begin your encounter again because you did not catch it. You said that if you're going to catch it or not it's determined when the ball hits it but you didn't explain the three possibilities 1.That you catch it 2.That it breaks out of the ball and does not flee in which case you can click it again to encounter it again to try to quick catch it again or 3.It's going to flee in which case it won't be in your box..
Thank you for showing us all the different catch bonuses. Thank you for showing us that if you release the ball further up the screen helps to throw the ball further and releasing the ball close to the bottom of the screen is a shorter throw. Not the speed of the throw. Watching you catch the stack makes me wonder how long it took you to amass the whole stack.
These are really nice tricks, Nick. Love the video! I didn't even know about the AR+ quick catch 😂 One extremely small thing. With the Quick/Fast Catch method, you can also just hold the Berry or Ball-tray. I just tap and hold the berry-tray, throw the ball, move the finger on the tray maybe a millimeter to the middle which will open it and then run. You can also then hit the equivalent of the "back"-button on your phone to exit the encounter instead of the Run-icon. It's still the same basic thing. But hey, those very few milliseconds adds up, lmao 😂😂
I'm loving the new guide style videos! I started playing in the beggining but then stopped. Now that I'm back it's great to have these guides as a reminder!
Day 1 player here and I just learned the quick catch thanks to you 🙏🏼 Edit.. ok I actually didn’t know anything in the entire second half of this video. Thank you!!!
So I had no idea about the research stacking, I've had (or so I thought) a single Pidgey from WAYYYYYY back (iirc it was from the special research that gave non shiny mew) and it was a field research that gives a pidgey that is actually a ditto. I had no idea that if you ran from field research up to 100 pokemon could stack in that one spot, which means that so far, while I've been quick catching my field research, all of those mons that were not caught are actually stacked!?? does that mean that if it ever reaches more than 100 without my knowledge I will lose my pidgey friend!???
Yes! This was the video I needed! You explained the quick catch better than any other video I tried watching the other day, and included so many more tips I didn’t know about. I thought you did this video and wanted to finally learn this technique but for some reason had trouble finding it. It’d be awesome to see all new videos updating your current beginner/intermediate/advanced RUclips playlists.
2:00 wait, does the size of the circle actually matter, or does only the tier of the circle matter? Saying “smallest possible” confused me. Does the smallest possible excellent throw have a higher catch bonus than the biggest possible excellent throw? Or the smallest possible nice throw vs the biggest possible nice throw? Also, if the nice throw is only 1x, does that mean that missing the circle decreases your catch chance, or does it mean that nice throws are the exact same thing as missing the circle on an excellent?
No, -Nice Throw = a big circle recticle -Great Throw = a medium circle recticle -Excellent Throw = a small circle recticle In my experience, I usually only get (Nice Throws) and (Great Throws), rarely any (Excellent Throws). Basically, all of the (Nice Throws/Great Throws/Excellent Throws) will increase the chances of successfully catching the Pokémon
Yes, join the quick catchers Edit: Also, I just assumed that Silver Pinaps would have the same multiplier as a regular razz berry + the effect of a Pinap berry; I didn't know the catch rate was slightly better than a regular razz berry
Being a brand new player that has only been playing for 3 days, I really appreciate this video. I've watched a few others about catching techniques but this one was really easy to understand. Thank you for making it easier to understand!
If you berry the top mon in a research stack with something unconventional (I usually use a nanab, but a golden raspberry could work to), you can check you stack periodically and see if you have over 100. If the berried mon is gone, you stacked too much.
@@FatalBagel The oldest in the stack would show up first, unless there are too many in the stack. In that case, you lose the oldest, then the second oldest, then the third, and so on until you start catching to free up space.
Thanks! I used to watch your videos during the first year of Pokemon Go but stopped playing until a year ago when I picked it back up. I didn't know about the fast catch trick, so you literally saved me about an hour every day. I really appreciate it!
One additional note on the circle lock: so long as you didn’t hold it too long, you don’t have to set the circle each time. You can just wait for the next attack and throw again.
Love your videos Nick, great tips! It would be cool to see a video where you do a complete guide over the numbers and stats of gaining candy XL, the chances of getting it in relation to level of Pokémon, mega level, raids, evos, etc. Would love to see you make that video!
Very helpful video, also worth mentioning that premier balls have same catch rate as normal pokeballs. But very great video put together. Nick if you have a friend or family member, videoing a protégé starting the game in 2022 could be a great idea for a video. So many changes now from starting back then.
One of the best uses of the research stack imo is keeping big Pokémon for easy excellent throws when you get a “do x amount of excellent/great throws in a row” tasks. If you catch all the small Pokémon and run away from all the big Pokémon from research tasks you can have a stack of all onix/wailmer etc
i started playing about 5 days after the game came out as a whole, but i stopped for, like, 5 years after gen 2 was released.. so these videos have been great to help me get back into everything ive forgotten! glad to have your channel around, nick :)
Important thing you touched on with your research stack. The oldest pokemon gets kicked when you reach 101. So you probably did lose some Relicanth. Make sure you take note of the pokemon and their CP so if you do a task and the next pokemon is the same but different cp you can notice that your stack is full and it's time to clear it. Check out FLW Videos for a more in depth explanation 👇 ruclips.net/video/Tj-CFE6OGpw/видео.html
with your wide viewership, you can just reach out to niantic, give them your feedback, make them add a "skip" button instead of players studying work arounds. just a thought hahhahaha.
Your the first person I've seen so far actually show they're fingers throwing the ball. Been trying to find someone do this for rhe last hour man. SMH. THANK you! 👍
I just wish that the color of already-claimed tasks (so the stacked pokemon) would show up in another color in the corner of the screen. I dont like stacking pokemon because I never know when I actually finished a quest or I will forget to claim my tasks. So I would stack pokemon if it would be showing up in blue, but if theres a newly finished task then it would be orange ,for example
This video was great! I only wish they put a counter for how many Pokemon are stacked. I also hope you make a video on buddy Pokemon because most new people I talk to have no clue.
I use gesture mode On.. So after i slide the fruit/poke tray, then just swipe right from left screen corner then its going back to map without click the back symbol
the 2nd to last tip about stalling the circle circumference blew my mind; can't believe i'm just seeing this one. i almost woke up my Go+ saying WAT !!? LOL. i'm halfway through lvl 35, had multiple legendaries run on me during the NY goFest & can't help but think how many more of them i would've caught if i knew the multiplier ratios & these tips & tricks. i'll def be putting some of these (some i already do) into practice. thanks Nick !
WAIT A MINUTE!!! I thought niantic changed it from 100 to 50!?!? 2 questions: did they change it from 100 to 50 at all!? And if so when did they change it back to 100!?!?!? 0.o I obviously don't keep up with the info at all lol >_>
I've been waiting for this. An updated version of some helpful ... *TRAINERTIPS* see what I did there? 😏 I never knew exactly how to quick catch, but I'll be doing that a lot on community days. Might even start stacking research Pokémon when a double catch candy event is on the horizon.
I'd like to think that #TheGOAT saw my comment and has thus COME THROUGH (like GOATs do) and made this video! YOU D BEST, STRANGER TIPS RICK! Wait wat...
Watching Nick finally clean out his research catches was the real reason to watch the video. Great tips and explanations for beginner and expert catching techniques

I wonder what would happen if you used a master ball on one of these incense fleeing Pokemon. 🤔
The quick catching guide was EXTREMELY helpful!
Once you start quick catching, you'll never go back!
It doesn't work on special spawns tho. Only normal wild spawn. It's an instant flee on incense, daily spawn, and lure pokemon
Here was me thinking that clearing your stack would finally stop your research button from being orange.

you a berry! if the first pokemon of the stack dont have the berry anymore, it is overwriting and your stack is full :D

Fantastic Trainer Tips, Nick! Very interesting to watch even for someone who's playing since 2016 :)
Very helpful. Had no idea of the stacking pokemon
Setting the circle really helps with shadow pokemon, too, since they taunt so much
I wish they would add an indicator so we could tell how many Pokemon are in the stack. Would be so helpful! Great video!
LMAO! I thought they patched out the stack ages ago so I stopped stacking ages ago. 😂
That would be good, but what would be better is if you got to choose which Pokémon to encounter instead of catching them by date encountered
if its full does is stops then or put it the oldesr away ?
I have watched many circle lock videos, but I have never been able to do it. I watch yours, test it again, and nail it first time. Cheers Nick! Enjoy your trip!

You can’t really add any percentage since every pokemon has different catch rates

Golden razz + curve + excellent = 16%

Hey man, good to see you're still at it! I watched a bunch of your videos when your channel started, then my kid lost interest in the game. Now he's back at it again, so we're re-learning how to play with all the new features.
Do people really throw with their thumb? That’s crazy to me lol
talking about ar on while catching aron was a slick move
Thought this was a vid from 2016, but I do appreciate videos like this. I've been quick catching for over 3 years now, could not imagine playing without that technique. I hope many others start to use it now!
At this point, things like research reward stacking are clearly accepted as part of Niantic's game. The one QOL improvement I desperately want is a counter on the stack.
There is an odd bug that I found when fighting a grunt who had Cacnea as it's starter, Cacturne as it's second and to be honest I don't remember the third Pokemon. When fighting this grunt if you switch to your second pokemon after defeating the first one you might get the Cacturne, instead of the Cacnea. I've done this multiple times to make sure I wasn't imagining it. My second pokemon was a Melometal with Superpower as it's charge move.
This brought me back to 2016 and learning how to throw pokeballs for the first time.
I feel like an explanation of what happens when you do the quick catch could be useful. First off that the pokémon may remain on the map for a moment before it disappears and that clicking on it will make it poof away or begin your encounter again because you did not catch it. You said that if you're going to catch it or not it's determined when the ball hits it but you didn't explain the three possibilities 1.That you catch it 2.That it breaks out of the ball and does not flee in which case you can click it again to encounter it again to try to quick catch it again or 3.It's going to flee in which case it won't be in your box..
Good video, only you didn't say anything about the 'critical catch'. Is there any data known how or when you have this or how to get this even more?
Thank you for showing us all the different catch bonuses. Thank you for showing us that if you release the ball further up the screen helps to throw the ball further and releasing the ball close to the bottom of the screen is a shorter throw. Not the speed of the throw. Watching you catch the stack makes me wonder how long it took you to amass the whole stack.
Maaaaan, I remember thinking I would never figure out curve balls or excellent throws. So long ago! #skills
These tips are great :) I feel like there's stuff in these vids you've been making that can help both newer and older players. Thanks!
Now this...this is trainer tips! Not just trainer plays 🤣 ty I didn't know much much I actually needed these tips 👍
These are really nice tricks, Nick. Love the video! I didn't even know about the AR+ quick catch 😂
One extremely small thing. With the Quick/Fast Catch method, you can also just hold the Berry or Ball-tray. I just tap and hold the berry-tray, throw the ball, move the finger on the tray maybe a millimeter to the middle which will open it and then run.
You can also then hit the equivalent of the "back"-button on your phone to exit the encounter instead of the Run-icon.
It's still the same basic thing. But hey, those very few milliseconds adds up, lmao 😂😂
I can't catch single everytime they broke free what should I do I tried everytime 😩😮💨
I'm loving the new guide style videos! I started playing in the beggining but then stopped. Now that I'm back it's great to have these guides as a reminder!
Day 1 player here and I just learned the quick catch thanks to you 🙏🏼
Edit.. ok I actually didn’t know anything in the entire second half of this video. Thank you!!!
Thank you for making this video it helps me a lot cuz im a beginner now i know how to catch Pokémon right and easier
for the circle lock, once u've done it and as long as u only throw while the pokemon is attacking it remains as u locked it
Nick on that grind trying to get that 1,000,000 sub plaque
He deserves it! He's the OG!
You do an excellent job explaining the catch rates and techniques. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
bro how did you get 4500 pokemon storage i only got 250
So I had no idea about the research stacking, I've had (or so I thought) a single Pidgey from WAYYYYYY back (iirc it was from the special research that gave non shiny mew) and it was a field research that gives a pidgey that is actually a ditto. I had no idea that if you ran from field research up to 100 pokemon could stack in that one spot, which means that so far, while I've been quick catching my field research, all of those mons that were not caught are actually stacked!?? does that mean that if it ever reaches more than 100 without my knowledge I will lose my pidgey friend!???
Yeah, so you might want to catch it some day soon...
Yes! This was the video I needed! You explained the quick catch better than any other video I tried watching the other day, and included so many more tips I didn’t know about. I thought you did this video and wanted to finally learn this technique but for some reason had trouble finding it.
It’d be awesome to see all new videos updating your current beginner/intermediate/advanced RUclips playlists.
I feel like it's 2016 again with this video, this was great Nick. Thank you!
Old school tips and tricks! Love it!
Fantastic Trainer Tips, Nick! Very interesting to watch even for someone who's playing since 2016 :)
Thank you thank you I appreciate it I can now catch the Pokémon fast 💨
you let that poor Aerodactyl look at that berry for 3 years... man.. heartless.. lol
You are my hero and a total babe as well please be my friend LoveforThor
I finally got the quick catch method to work! Thank you so much for explaining so clearly!
Love the videos nick! I thought I knew everything but I guess not haha
2:00 wait, does the size of the circle actually matter, or does only the tier of the circle matter? Saying “smallest possible” confused me. Does the smallest possible excellent throw have a higher catch bonus than the biggest possible excellent throw? Or the smallest possible nice throw vs the biggest possible nice throw? Also, if the nice throw is only 1x, does that mean that missing the circle decreases your catch chance, or does it mean that nice throws are the exact same thing as missing the circle on an excellent?
No,
-Nice Throw = a big circle recticle
-Great Throw = a medium circle recticle
-Excellent Throw = a small circle recticle
In my experience, I usually only get (Nice Throws) and (Great Throws), rarely any (Excellent Throws).
Basically, all of the (Nice Throws/Great Throws/Excellent Throws) will increase the chances of successfully catching the Pokémon
I had no idea you can stack research tasks to 100! Ima start doing that now.
Yes, join the quick catchers
Edit: Also, I just assumed that Silver Pinaps would have the same multiplier as a regular razz berry + the effect of a Pinap berry; I didn't know the catch rate was slightly better than a regular razz berry
Same
Been trying to get a perfect curveball throw on everything since 2016.
3:25 ... i just repeated what you did as accurately as i could and finally got my first ever curveball. thanks so much
They really need the option of toggling on and off animations. Animations take too much time and not being able to skip is annoying
Being a brand new player that has only been playing for 3 days, I really appreciate this video. I've watched a few others about catching techniques but this one was really easy to understand. Thank you for making it easier to understand!
If you berry the top mon in a research stack with something unconventional (I usually use a nanab, but a golden raspberry could work to), you can check you stack periodically and see if you have over 100. If the berried mon is gone, you stacked too much.
Would the newest mon show up at the top of the list or the oldest one?
@@FatalBagel The oldest in the stack would show up first, unless there are too many in the stack. In that case, you lose the oldest, then the second oldest, then the third, and so on until you start catching to free up space.
@@esosique5 I see, tysm!
Honestly, idk how but most of my rare Pokémon catches are just from throwing straight 😂😂
Like I do all those tricks right, then pop a normal poke all and throw straight and boom, shakes a h to hard time and caught
Thanks! I used to watch your videos during the first year of Pokemon Go but stopped playing until a year ago when I picked it back up. I didn't know about the fast catch trick, so you literally saved me about an hour every day. I really appreciate it!
My Tricks to Catch Pokemon Faster : Using GO Plus lol 😆
Appreciate the refresher on the catch circle technique. I haven't been using that lately.
One additional note on the circle lock: so long as you didn’t hold it too long, you don’t have to set the circle each time. You can just wait for the next attack and throw again.
Love your videos Nick, great tips!
It would be cool to see a video where you do a complete guide over the numbers and stats of gaining candy XL, the chances of getting it in relation to level of Pokémon, mega level, raids, evos, etc.
Would love to see you make that video!
Very helpful video, also worth mentioning that premier balls have same catch rate as normal pokeballs. But very great video put together. Nick if you have a friend or family member, videoing a protégé starting the game in 2022 could be a great idea for a video. So many changes now from starting back then.
Imagine trying to take down gyms nowadays as a newcomer...
Keep sharing them good tips. New players will be looking for current up to date tips and strategies.
One of the best uses of the research stack imo is keeping big Pokémon for easy excellent throws when you get a “do x amount of excellent/great throws in a row” tasks. If you catch all the small Pokémon and run away from all the big Pokémon from research tasks you can have a stack of all onix/wailmer etc
and keep some dragons around for when they have that annoying 'catch x dragons' task again...
Such good tips. Thanks for the vid!
i started playing about 5 days after the game came out as a whole, but i stopped for, like, 5 years after gen 2 was released.. so these videos have been great to help me get back into everything ive forgotten! glad to have your channel around, nick :)
This is great! I've been playing since 2016 and the quick catch method and stacking research tasks were new to me. Thanks for the video!
Important thing you touched on with your research stack. The oldest pokemon gets kicked when you reach 101. So you probably did lose some Relicanth. Make sure you take note of the pokemon and their CP so if you do a task and the next pokemon is the same but different cp you can notice that your stack is full and it's time to clear it.

Fast catch was a real game changer for me, it’s super helpful
I’m lv 43 and this actually helped me so much! Especially the quick catching, what an amazing technique!! Thank you!
I just want to know where that shiny Magikarp came from.
I know, he could have just looked to see. :)
with your wide viewership, you can just reach out to niantic, give them your feedback, make them add a "skip" button instead of players studying work arounds. just a thought hahhahaha.
Your the first person I've seen so far actually show they're fingers throwing the ball. Been trying to find someone do this for rhe last hour man. SMH. THANK you! 👍
I just wish that the color of already-claimed tasks (so the stacked pokemon) would show up in another color in the corner of the screen. I dont like stacking pokemon because I never know when I actually finished a quest or I will forget to claim my tasks. So I would stack pokemon if it would be showing up in blue, but if theres a newly finished task then it would be orange ,for example
bro causually catches groudon
Wow I’ve been playing since 2019 and now I just learned the fast catch😂😂😂😂 wow this game just got a lot better
This video was great! I only wish they put a counter for how many Pokemon are stacked. I also hope you make a video on buddy Pokemon because most new people I talk to have no clue.
I use gesture mode On.. So after i slide the fruit/poke tray, then just swipe right from left screen corner then its going back to map without click the back symbol
the 2nd to last tip about stalling the circle circumference blew my mind; can't believe i'm just seeing this one. i almost woke up my Go+ saying WAT !!? LOL. i'm halfway through lvl 35, had multiple legendaries run on me during the NY goFest & can't help but think how many more of them i would've caught if i knew the multiplier ratios & these tips & tricks. i'll def be putting some of these (some i already do) into practice. thanks Nick !
WAIT A MINUTE!!! I thought niantic changed it from 100 to 50!?!? 2 questions: did they change it from 100 to 50 at all!? And if so when did they change it back to 100!?!?!? 0.o I obviously don't keep up with the info at all lol >_>
Please save one of those Relicanth for me 'till Berlin GO Fest😜 How 'bout a Shiny Mime Jr. for it?✨
I've been waiting for this. An updated version of some helpful ... *TRAINERTIPS* see what I did there? 😏
I never knew exactly how to quick catch, but I'll be doing that a lot on community days. Might even start stacking research Pokémon when a double catch candy event is on the horizon.
Hey those last 2 were fire. I've been playing since they added gen 2 pokemon and I didn't know. Thanks bruv
I'd like to think that #TheGOAT saw my comment and has thus COME THROUGH (like GOATs do) and made this video!
YOU D BEST, STRANGER TIPS RICK!
Wait wat...
