Pokemon-go – get Golden Razz Berries from

No, the razz berries are not causing this. Razz berries do not affect your throw at all; they only make the Pokemon more likely to stay in the ball once you get them in there. Although it says it affects your next throw, you can tell it actually means your next "catch" because you cannot use another razz berry until you get the Pokemon into the ball.

It sounds like you may be having the same problem as described in the question Ball curves on straight throw, or perhaps you are throwing curve balls on accident, or you are just not throwing it as straight as you think you are.

There are a number of people that insist using a razz berry does curve the ball. I personally believe that this is a combination of coincidence and confirmation bias. People use razz berries on harder Pokemon, which tend to be farther away, which makes it more noticeable when a ball doesn't go where you expect it to. Once you start to believe that, you also tend to notice when the ball curves when using a razz berry and dismiss it when it curves without a razz berry.

I initially had this same thought when I first got access to razz berries, but some informal testing convinced me that it's not true. My personal experience has been that the ball is equally likely to curve on a far Pokemon whether I use a razz berry or not, and being more careful with my throws vastly increases the chance that the ball will go where I want it to.

I don't have evidence for this, per se, but I believe that it applies only to your next successful throw -- i.e., your next throw that actually hits the Pokemon.

I suspect this because you're unable to use a second Razz Berry immediately after using the first, or if you miss the Pokemon a bunch, but as soon as you make contact and it breaks free, you can use another Razz Berry.

To clarify:

On a failed throw, you throw a Pokeball but completely miss the Pokemon. This does not use up a Razz Berry.

On a successful throw, you throw a Pokeball and hit the Pokemon. It wiggles around a bit, and you either catch it or it breaks free. This uses up the Razz Berry, whether you catch the Pokemon or not.

If you want to boost your chances, then every time you hit the Pokemon with a throw, you'll need to use another Razz Berry.
