Skip Catch Animation- shadow ban

In a recent video that Poke AK made, he said that if you use the skip catch animation you will get shadow banned. Is this true? I use this trick and I haven't gotten shadow banned but worried I will. Thanks for your replies.

I think poke AK is a spoofer, ain't him?
Edit: no, he isn't :)

He isn't. He's a legit player. He doesn't use the animation trick but he told everyone why doesn't use it which is the reason shadowban.

No shadow ban for me and my kid and we've been doing this for over a month.

At this point I'm not sure I know anyone who doesn't use the speedcatch and I haven't heard of anyone getting shadowbanned.

I've used it a lot. Used it even today after reading this post. Still no shadow ban.

First, it makes no sense to hurt players because one of their own bugs.
Second, if they were shadow banning, everyone who did it would have gotten the same treatment, not just one or few no one has heard of.

Can anyone explain how to do this (skip catch animation)? I've heard about it but don't remember the details. Thanks!

So when you click on a pokemon you know how there is the option of changing the kind of poke ball you want to use? Basically, swipe the poke ball icon (don't press it but swipe it and hold) Then throw your poke ball at the pokemon you are trying to catch while still holding it. Finally, the type of poke ball option will open up and you will click the runaway icon. Then to check if you caught the pokemon click the pokemon again on your map screen and if it says error that means you caught it. It's pretty hard at first, this video explains how to do it better than I can. He starts explaining it around 30 seconds in.
