What's wrong with my curveball?
So I've got pretty good at landing curveballs. Well, according to How to throw a curveball that's what I think I'm doing. But I never seem to get the 10xp bonus for curveball, whether I hit inside the target or not (in my example I happen to get a great throw).
I know for a fact the curveball bonus stacks with the others, so what am I doing wrong?

At this point I am certain you cannot get that bonus reliably. I'm not sure if it's a bug the exp bonus got removed.
I've been throwing almost exclusively curveballs for the last 2 days, because I found out about the exp bonus and wanted to get used to landing them. I made a lot of catches with curved throws: most didn't get "great" or "nice" bonuses, few did, I even landed 1 curvebal on a jumping pokemon.
I couldn't get the "curveball" exp bonus even once. My friend had the exact same experience, although, he wasn't focusing on cureballs only.

How do you fix a curveball?
A curveball that a pitcher fails to put enough spin on will not break much and is colloquially called a "hanging curve". Hanging curves are usually disastrous for a pitcher because the low velocity, non-breaking pitch arrives high in the zone where hitters can wait on it and drive it for power.Rnbstylerz \u0026 AREES - WHAT

Answer 2
I got lucky with this shot - wish I had a video but at least the screen shot shows what I wanted. Curveball bonuses CAN and DO stack, but like all of you, I have had them be anything but consistent. Like the video that was posted showing "when it does work, when it should work, and when it's wrong," I have shared in all of those experiences. I've been experiencing weird things across the board with my throws, so just know the bonuses are generally broken and you're not alone!
P.S. Sorry my screen shot is just a clickable link, but it shows the stacking bonuses.
Answer 3
You cannot get the curve ball exp bonus plus the nice/great/excellent exp bonus. If you land a nice/great/excellent it will overwrite the curve ball bonus because it grants higher exp. The point of the curve ball is for the higher capture rate. Not the exp bonus.
