It has been patched. You can no longer use that glitch to capture them.

Glad I caught all five before the last patch; at least it didn't tamper with my collection.

No, it was never patched. People ask this question all the time and the answer is always no. There wasn't even a patch for the game. You're just doing something wrong.

You can't hit the boss AT ALL otherwise the glitch won't work unless you leave the arena.

You also have to hit them from behind or hit them while they're at the very edge of the arena; I'm no longer sure which is true.

I have failed it many times too. I find you have to specifically get a backshot for it to work. Kind of hard to do since it doesn't tell you if you have a backshot or not. Like for Faleris for example, I can throw the ball directly at it's literal back, but it won't work. I find if you aim for it's butthole it'll work.

Just tried it right now (1:19 PM PST Feb 18 Steam/PC) with Zoe and Grizzbolt, and was successful.
Following the advice of others, some mistakes I was making originally were using the low-level palspheres (anything but the blue ones seem to work), and I wasn't throwing it at their back.
Tried again, kept dodging until an opportunity presented itself, threw the sphere, and was successful.
For what it's worth, I think failing by throwing a sphere at their front or side counts as "hitting" them and will cause you to fail even if you successfully hit them from the back later, but I could be wrong.
