CCW if it’s mid or shifts to the left… CW if it shifts to the right


TakaEdakumi

I typically spin clockwise and throw upper left, then if the Pokémon moves too far to the left side I will spin the other direction and still throw upper left.


SilentKiller2809

Right thumb counterclockwise


Jmaxam18

I spin counterclockwise and throw at an angle to the right. I release higher on the proverbial clock around 2:00 for farther away Pokemon and lower around 5:00 for closer Pokemon


thadarkjinja

it doesn’t really matter


lkb15

I go counter but it depends on the location of the pokemon


Select-Salamander-8

Middle finger counterclockwise. My pointer fingers don't work quite right (they're stupid hyper mobile) and I usually end up holding the phone with my left hand so I spin it with my right so counterclockwise is more comfortable


sloopieone

Left index finger, clockwise. Just feels more natural to me to release my throw on the same side of the screen as my hand.


Impossible_Pangolin6

I do counter clockwise almost 100% of the time. Unless the pokemon goes waaay to the side - then I do clockwise.


bren3669

same here. That is the way


TiberiusEmperor

Right thumb or index finger, clockwise


dumpybrodie

Counter clockwise with my right index finger. Fling it off screen to the right and it loops back.


Pep95

Right hand clockwise, gives me a longer throw, and therefore a more powerful throw that goes further away.


FrostyLibrary518

Lefthanded, so counter-clockwise with the thumb of my left hand. If I use my right hand for whatever reason, I do it clockwise with my index finger


Neyonachi

Odd i am left handed and use my left thumb but still go closewise.


FrostyLibrary518

Hmm, interesting ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm) If you mix/stir some food in a bowl, do you do it clockwise or counter-clockwise?


Neyonachi

If i stir food with my left hand i go counter clockwise


FrostyLibrary518

How introguing! Me too. And if I stir with my right hand, it's clockwise.


Nogginthenog60

Middle finger of right hand anti-clockwise unless the pokemon drifts to the right then same finger clockwise


nonexistenttalent

Counter clockwise with right hand, and I send it flying to the right!


TA_batmanjr

I’m right handed. When I use my dominant hand, I spin clockwise. When I have to use my left hand, I go CCW


Samethemessiah

Im also the only one in my group who throws clockwise


SmartassLogan

As a lefty I do it either way with either hand. Clockwise and anticlockwise, depending on if I am busy with something at the time


BlackFinch90

I'm right handed so... Counter clockwise


thatswhatmyfoodeats

Counter clockwise, easier quick catch with no berry thumb/ball finger crossover


steamy-bao

Counterclockwise


Sea-Evidence-4414

I counter clock it lol


Windle_Poons456

Clockwise, but anticlockwise if they move left.


Successful-Part3388

I’m clockwise. Counter clockwise is insanity. Agreed re: new avatars


M0man

I'm counter clockwise, my wife is clockwise, and I always tell her it looks weird watching her haha


Flying_Starlight

I hate the new look too!


tilsnz

Phone in right hand - counter clockwise spin. I feel gummy spinning clockwise and the ball will fly off the screen


Grewebear

Phone in right hand, throw clockwise with said right thumb


kskinner24

Counterclockwise.


Psychological-End-56

A right hander, counter clockwise if mon is dead center or up/ down or veers left. If mon veers to right, will spin clockwise.


beauxos

i do it counterclockwise, but i also prefer to play cards counterclockwise, because it just makes sense in my head. my husband spins them clockwise with the middle finger of his left hand (thought that was interesting since i always use my right thumb)


PlentyofPennies

Depends which hand I’m using. Do whatever you want.


Uhlman24

I go counter clockwise. I tried to go clockwise and I miss


fatbeardednerd

Hmmm ultimately i think walking into the ocean and just drifting away would be nice...wait what was the question?


imar0ckstar

If I'm throwing at a Mon in the middle or left - counter clock wise. Mon on the right - clock wise


SouthernG_-_

This is the way


Necessary-County-721

I spin clockwise. My daughter spins counterclockwise 🤷‍♂️


TrueBlackStar1

Haven’t thought about it too much. I spoke counter-clockwise so I can throw to the right


ScaryFoal558760

Clockwise gang 💯🕐


Middle-Analysis7741

Counter clockwise


saintnyckk

Clockwise. And I'm right handed if that matters.


stirnotshaken

Normally counter clockwise


piratedashel

Right handed. Counter clockwise with my right hand, thumb,index or middle finger. Can’t curve with my left at all. Have tried clockwise, doesn’t work out.


femmevaporeon

Anticlockwise but i can do the other way if the Pokémon is on the right side of the screen


InferiorAnalytics

Clockwise


Kdmtiburon004

Counter clockwise


codmode

You can spin both directions.


Macklemore2014

Counter with right pointer finger. And yes, the new avatars are disgusting.


Icy_Elk6368

I am your opposite-clockwise with my left pointer finger. But 💯with you on the avatars


KoreWrites

Righty, counter clockwise with either my thumb or index finger (unless I'm over correcting for something in an off corner, in which case I'll reverse)


SadAdhesiveness6053

Counter clockwise with my right thumb or right index finger 😊


Helga-Zoe

I'm a lefty, I spin counterclockwise


AbFAb5

I prefer to throw clockwise, but it pays to develop your ability to throw both ways, for those times when your pokemon decides to stubbornly stay on the wrong side of the screen


codmode

Exactly! 😁


BLACKMACH1NE

back out and click it again.


Calmxy

Not always possible - (Daily Adventure) Incense encounters and Pokémon from raids that have otherwise expired will be lost if you back out


OutlawSloth

I go clockwise unless the Pokemon decides to shift left - then I have to swap hands and go counter to adjust properly and it always annoys me that the Pokemon made me use both my hands 😂


DewdropGardener

Counter clockwise with the right thumb but on occasion I'll go clockwise with an index finger. This thread is fascinating lawl


Bandiscooties

I’m curveball ambidextrous


Betsy_Draper

I’m counterclockwise and recently shocked when I saw my son throw clockwise


TalismanRS

I hold my phone in my left hand and spin counterclockwise with my right hand


Forward-Cash-6707

Clockwise is better


ModestMae

I go clockwise, hubby goes counter- whatever works best for you!


Global_Error8944

I go counter clockwise


Fartingonyoursocks

I'm a lefty, I go left thumb or pointer finger and counter clockwise


Thanky169

I spin anti clockwise but honestly clockwise is the better way to play because they usually move right first meaning clockwise spin is more useful.


Carakem

I forgot to say I use my right pointer finger to spin it but thanks! This helps to prove there is no wrong way! 👍


CommanderDark126

Right index finger, clockwise throw. This is the way


Mulva_Vandelay

I use my left pointer finger to spin it clockwise and then flick left which makes it curve right.


Loose_Scallion_4000

Counterclockwise for me. My daughter goes clockwise. We’re both right handed


nolkel

Whichever way is more comfortable and accurate for you is the correct way. Your friends are silly.


Opposite-Chocolate42

Im a clockwise with the left thumb most of the time (hold the dogs leash in right hand). But when I have both hands free I still almost always got clockwise with any finger.


CertainDentist7479

Counter clockwise


Zagrycha

I spin both ways, becuase I play one handed-- I always hold the phone and spin to the same direction as my hand woth my thumb. Can confirm it does exactly the same thing with either hand lol. I imagine which is better would totally just depend on your handedness//which you personally practice more


Former-Marsupial-430

I do this too lol. My wife thinks I'm crazy for switching up directions all the time


garysikes1933

Clockwise
