The error of throw XP Bonus was fixed

Some of players could not gain XP for throw bonus due to the officially recognized error, but the update on August 8 fixed it. Now players can gain additional XP when capturing a wild Pokemon by throwing excellently, greatly, and nicely.

Capture Bonuses and XP Gained

Capture Bonus Experience Points Gained
Excellent 100XP
Great 50XP
Nice 10XP
Curve Ball 10XP
Catching Pokemon 100XP
Catching New Pokemon 500XP

The following page shows the more details of throwing bonus and how to get additional XP by throwing.

The trajectory of curve ball is also fixed

The update also revised the trajectory of curve ball. Some players says that it gets easier to hit a curve ball to a wild Pokemon. Since a player can get bonus XP (10XP) by throwing a curve ball to catch, the techniques might be useful.

Max 1,220 XP can be gained!

You can gain 610 XP by capturing a new Pokemon with 'Excellent' curve ball. While the effect of Lucky Egg is continuing, gained XP is doubled. That mean you can gain max 1,220 XP at once by capturing a wild Pokemon.
