Frustrated Pokemon GO players share the Bounsweet hitbox experience on Community Day

However, many players echoed Tacca1's frustrations, noting a significant difficulty in catching Bounsweet effectively.

CaptainMarvelous shared a different type of disappointing story, saying,

"70 or so caught, zero 3*’s"

They highlighted the difficulty in obtaining high-IV Bounsweets despite catching a significant number.

Protobyte added to this by noting an abundance of low-IV catches:

"Yea a weird amount of 0* and 1*. Was hoping to get a 3* shiny and didn’t even get a 2* shiny."

A consensus emerged regarding the erratic hitbox. Azlan194 noted the very wonky hitbox, explaining that sometimes the ball would just bounce off them, making it nearly impossible to make an excellent throw as it always fell short on the ground in front of it.

Hoenndex also noticed this anomaly, feeling validated that they weren't crazy and that the hitbox was indeed off. Despite getting three shinies, they experienced many misses that didn't make sense.

sdrawkcabstiho shared a serendipitous encounter from the past,

"When Bounsweet was released last year, I popped my daily incense heading to work and the first one I saw was a hundo. Opened the game today and the first Bounsweet I clicked on was shiny."

Despite these positive notes, many players felt their efforts were met with limited reward. Maserati777 humorously reflected on their struggles,

"Think I hit 5 great throws and 1 Excellent by accident. Hit the ground dozens of times. Also had the ball hit it in the center of the circle and then fall down on the ground."
