Is it possible to get a nice/super/excellent throw on Weedle?
With Weedle being one of the most common pokémon for me, I realized that I never got a "nice", "great" or "excellent" throw on it, even though the animation looks like I hit inside the circle.
My guess is that Weedle is so "easy" that it is not possible to get a throw bonus on it. Or am I just that bad at throwing?

Weedles are short, sit close to the player, and have the little spike on their heads that sits outside the circle that gets in the way, so it's tricky to throw the ball low enough to hit them in the circle.
The best way I've found is, when you start spinning the ball for your curveball, instead of starting the throw from the centre of the screen, move the ball to the left hand corner (assuming you spin left and throw right) and throw a short, flat, curveball from there - it's still a little tricky but you'll score a "great" around 50% of the time

Is there a trick to getting an excellent throw in Pokemon go?
Before throwing the ball, hold it and wait for the circle to reach its smallest radius. Let go of the ball, but don't touch it until you're ready to catch the Pokemon. This allows you to take your time with the throw and ensure you're ready before going for an attempt.What is the easiest Pokemon to throw excellent?

For example, two great throws can have different chances of capture. This is because it is based on the radius of the circle when you hit the Pokemon with the poke ball. Whether you hit a nice, or excellent throw, it is just an indicator of how good the throw was.More answers regarding is it possible to get a nice/super/excellent throw on Weedle?
Answer 2
Actually, I am fairly certain that you can get nice, great and excellent throws on every Pokémon, however it isn't very easy.
The thing you should should try is imagining an underhanded-throw or a basketball-three-pointer trying to hit the Pokémon's chest. Also it is worth noting that the best point to throw the ball is when the Pokémon is inside the coloured circle, not when it's smallest.
