Configuring Auto-Throws in Pokémon GO™

After pairing your Ultra Mod: MAX with the Pokémon GO™ app, you’ll need to adjust the Accessory Device Settings. These settings control how your device throws Poké Balls and whether the mod can correctly auto-throw Great and Ultra Balls.

Step 1: Open Accessory Device Settings

1. Launch Pokémon GO™.

2. Tap the Poké Ball icon at the bottom of the screen to open the main menu.

3. Tap Settings in the top right corner.

4. Scroll down and tap Connected Devices and Services.

5. Tap Accessory Devices.

6. If you haven't already, pair and connect your Pokémon GO Plus+ device.

Step 2: Configure Throw Settings

Within the device settings menu, you will see several toggle options:

• ❌ Turn OFF "Enable Poké Ball Auto-throws"

  • If this setting is enabled, the app will force all throws to use standard Poké Balls only, overriding your Ultra Mod: MAX’s ability to auto-throw anything else.

• ✅ Choose any option under "Button-Throw Poké Ball Selection"

  • Make sure to have plenty in your bag! 

• ✅ Turn ON "Enable Quick-Reconnect Mode"

  • This ensures you don't need to hold the device and press the main button each time you want to reconnect. 

Step 3: Test and GO!

• Try encountering a few wild Pokémon to test the configuration.

• If set correctly, your Ultra Mod: MAX will now automatically throw your selected ball type hands-free.

• Happy hunting! :)

Notes

• If you want your device to ignore nearby Pokémon and only spin Poke Stops, turn OFF the "Identify Nearby Pokémon" option further down in Accessory Device Settings.

  • This can be helpful if your Pokémon storage is full and/or your inventory is low on Poké Balls.

• Auto-catchers will not recognize daily local spawns (the one-off Pokémon with a pulsing aura that spawns near you at login or midnight). These must be caught manually.

• Auto-throws cannot use berries or land “Nice/Great/Excellent” bonuses — all automated throws count as standard hits.

Troubleshooting

• If your device is only throwing standard Poké Balls, double-check that the "Enable Poké Ball Auto-throws" option is set to OFF.

• If nearby Pokémon are detected but not caught, possible causes include:

  • Inventory is out of your selected ball type.

  • Pokémon storage is full.

  • Traveling too fast (> ~10–15 mph).

  • Poor network connection or GPS drift.

• If you're still having trouble, please contact GadCAD 3D for support!
