All Pokemon Go Spinda patterns

For the other forms, you'll need to wait for the task to change next month. In this way, you can collect all Spinda forms and complete your Spinda collection in your Pokemon Go Pokedex.
How to throw a Great Curveball in Pokemon Go
When you throw a Pokeball, you'll be graded on your aim. A Great throw happens when your PokéBall lands approximately in the middle of the target circle around your Pokémon, specifically when it's about half its full size. Successfully landing a Great throw rewards you with 50 XP.
In essence, you spin the Pokéball and aim to land it within the circle. For a Great throw, aiming directly at the Pokémon won't suffice. Instead, the throw should be directed slightly to the left or right, opposing the spin direction.
Once you have mastered the Great Curveball with your Pokeballs, you should be well on your way to completing the Field Research tasks and collecting Spindas in every form.
