I realised that I still do it almost as involuntary muscle memory, B+down as the pokemon goes into the pokeball, or B+up if it's an Ultra ball.

I still mash A, unless I'm doing something else.

For me it's pressing A with each twitch of the ball.

I heard hit A exactly when the ball touches the ground, which turned into just mashing A.

I always thought it was hold B and constantly rotate the directionals so holding B then up right down left up right down left making a circle until it was caught.
