“This quest is a great way for players to hone their throwing skills and encounter rare Pokémon,” said Professor Willow, the game’s enigmatic leader. “It’s also a fun and engaging way to earn valuable items.”
The Throw Wild quest consists of three stages, each with its own set of objectives and rewards. The first stage requires players to make three Great Throws in a row. Successful completion rewards players with a Poké Ball and an encounter with a Sunkern.
The second stage tasks players with making three Excellent Throws in a row. This more challenging objective rewards players with an Ultra Ball and an encounter with a Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.
The final stage requires players to make three Curved Throws in a row. Completing this stage rewards players with a Great Ball and an encounter with either a Golduck, Exeggutor, or Umbreon.
Beyond the immediate rewards, the Throw Wild quest also contributes to the completion of the game’s Season of Light Special Research. Players who complete all nine stages of Season of Light will earn a coveted encounter with the mythical Pokémon Cosmog.
The release of the Throw Wild quest has been met with positive reactions from the Pokémon GO community. Players have praised the quest’s accessibility, rewarding nature, and potential to improve throwing skills.
As the quest remains active, players are encouraged to gather their Poké Balls and prepare to show off their throwing prowess. The final stage of the quest is expected to conclude on March 8, 2023, providing ample time for players to complete it.
