Following the latest Pokemon Go update, players have discovered a new bug that is making catching Pokemon almost impossible.
The glitch in question affects curveball throws, with Pokemon Go players sharing across social media how aiming and accuracy for the throw type is completely out of whack.
Any and all Pokeballs used and thrown with a curveball swaying out of control and in turn, missing their target but a big margin.
@Niantichelp #PokemonGO Do tell. It really sucks. Same curveball motion for 7.5 years. Now I can't throw at all. https://t.co/ZVt82BwE5u

How to fix Pokemon Go Curveball bug
Thankfully, fixing the Pokemon Go Curveball bug is an easy process.
In order to fix the bug, players must simply turn off the ‘Native Refresh Rate’ in Pokemon Go. We’ve outlined how to do so in the below steps.
- First, go to the settings section which can be found at the bottom of the home screen
- Scroll down and click on the advanced settings
- Click on the Native Refresh Rate toggle under the quality category and turn it off
However, it’s important to note that disabling the Native Refresh Rate will impact the graphics quality of the game but rest assured it will not impact gameplay other than removing the Curveball bug.
While players can expect Pokemon Go developer Niantic to patch out the bug in the future, this quick fix is a great alternative to ensure Curveballs don’t go completely off target in the meantime.
