So i can load my game just fine and walk around. And do pokestops fine. When i go to catch a pokemon I throw my ball and the game freezes then stops working and closes. The ball wont even touch them sometimes. I've tried reinstalling the game and restarting the game. clearing cash and all that. I had to root my phone today tho to fix google services. I removed it tho and the game still doesnt work. I'm open to suggestions. or ideas.

Does this happen every single time?

Crashing while trying to catch Pokémon is a known issue, but typically restarting the app is all it takes to get it going right again; at least in my experience. Other than that Niantic is aware of the issue, and I'm sure it's being worked on for a future update. This and the unbeatable gym glitch are by far the most frustrating.

This is very frustrating but usually I can just restart the app right where it crashed and find the exact pokemon I was attempting to catch when the app crashed.

I've found sometimes after I throw the pokeball it'll just sit there without moving so I'll have to close the app and load it again.

Usually it turns out the Pokemon I was trying to catch ended up getting caught, but I guess that won't happen all the time since Pokemon can escape the pokeball.

This happened has to me 15 times today already! I'll throw the ball, the Pokemon will go into said ball and then it'll freeze. And then it'll take me another 5-10 minutes trying to get the game back up cause it'll get stuck on the loading screen. Safe to say, I am not happy with this game as much as I'd want to be. They better get this fixed soon, cause this was straight up ridiculous today!

I havent done to much testing on this but it has worked for me so far, so i figured that i would share for those who are experiencing the same issues! If the pokeball freezes upon catching if instead of closing out the app and restarting if you actually go into your phone settings and force close the app it will save your catch that you may had lost! I hope it works for you all as well :)
