All Pokemon Go Spinda patterns

Spinda is exclusively available through the Field Research feature in Pokémon Go. To acquire a Field Research task, you'll need to spin a PokéStop. If you've already got three tasks on the go, you'll need to ditch one to make room for the Spinda mission.

Although Spinda theoretically possesses countless pattern possibilities, Pokémon GO currently limits it to just eight variations. Each form can be identified by the pattern adorning Spinda's body. Check out the Spinda patterns below!

Every month, you'll get a new Field Research task that will give you a Spinda. In April 2024, the challenge is to successfully land Five Great Curveball Throws consecutively. Completing this task during April 2024 will reward you with Spinda Form 5.

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.
