Have you managed to catch a legendary yet?

    The pokedex reveals it quite nicely :) So you can just post the stats, basically for the legendarys it reveals "Raids participated" and "Number caught". here are mine:

    Articuno 12 raids done, 5 caught
    Moltres 2 raids done, 0 caught
    Lugia 8 Raids done, 3 caught


    For almost all raids, i miss between 0 and 2 throws, the average being at or below 1 wasted ball per raid. I only throw curveballs, often hitting inside the circle for a great throw + curveball, or smething like that. All with the golden raspberry.

    Many of these raids were with the old 2% base catch rate, some with the new 3% base catch rate. So expect around 40% catch rate per raid now, assuming you do not waste many balls on misses, use the right berry, use curveballs, and often hit inside a circle.

    I got lucky with my few catches, i have a 96% Articuno and a 93% Lugia and 87% Lugia. Still need Moltres and more Lugia. There will be a lot more legendary raids, i also got so many TMs that i have many left after re-rolling these 3 Legendarys into perfect movesets. Despotar is actually my second priority raid after Lugia. As attackers for raids, Lugia has real value, but Despotar is better than the painted pigeons.

    I can't believe I missed Articuno. I'm sad now. :(

    Those are likely to rotate on a 3-week-cycle now, also, i have a 96 Articuno: My 98 Lapras is strictly better. Same damage, also with double STAB Ice A-Moveset, but the Lapras survives much more.

    So Articuno is rather useless, i fear the same is true for Moltres.

    Lugia is awesome.

    Because of a busy schedule I had, and not able to join a raid battle, I had to miss out on the legendary battles. Hoping to make some time for Zapdos, but I really want Articuno.

    So has anyone heard if they'll be cycling them back and forth? I couldn't manage to snag a Moltres and I'd be real sad if that was my only chance to catch one. I caught two Articuno and a Lugia, but no dice on either of the two Moltres raids. Today alone I've done three Zapdos with no luck, either. :/

    I caught an Articuno on my third attempt, I only tried to catch Moltres once but failed and I haven't even tried for Zapdos yet.
