Lol.... Just cause you haven't had any issues, doesn't mean you won't in the future. Esp if that site ever decides to use your account without your permission.
Just curious, but do you ever not see rarer spawns like Dratinis and Snorlaxes in the wild even though others do?
Hard to say as I don't play as much as I used to and don't visit the spots for Dratini. It's mainly raids these days. Lemme think... I caught a Dratini in a park nearby during the event, had a Dragonite spawn next to us during a raid like a week ago. Used IVGo then to check the IVs on both of them obviously. Haven't noticed any rare Pokes dissapearing on me altogether, but then again I'm not looking for them either, I've pretty much completed my Pokedex sans regionals.

Had this happen last night. It errors in the raid boss catch screen. I had to close and reopen. When I clicked on the gym again it took me back to the catch screen.

1/10 now on legendaries. Fuck this game.
Caught my 1st 2 Moltres so far. Feels good.
How are you throwing it? Curve ball + golden razz berry + Great? Getting every hit or missing / being knocked away? Best to only throw right as it ends it's attack.

Pretty much yes to all that with missing here and there.
Damn, just random bad luck. I met someone who went 0 for 20 on Articunos and finally got hers on Saturday.
Hope you get it!

It just sucks bc my wife's getting annoyed at me constantly leaving to do these. On top of that I have a 5 month old daughter.
The app tends to freeze on iPhone 7 when reviving or healing mons.
Also got a Moltres on second go, half of us got in the group I was in every time, some twice. However, we came literally to a column of pixels of beating Lugia, the app bugged out on some Android players in the group so less people ended up finishing the raid compared to at start.

Moltres on his "fuck you" mode today...only did to raids and nada...one raid I had 11 balls and he popped ot of all of them...I missed two but still....
moltres is insanely more easier than articuno imo....I'm usually on my third pokemon before we beat him, forget my "Golem army" my Vaporeon/Gyrados army is just fine!!!

1/4 on Lugia
2/5 on Articuno
2/2 on Moltres
Ahead of Moltres today, I actually spent some time looking at how to throw curve balls and practiced on some normal catches. Was able to throw three excellent curve throws in a row on my second Moltres (the third catching it). It was also an excellent curve throw for my first Moltres catch. Weirdly, I wasn't nearly as successful in terms of producing excellent in my practice but maybe the distance to the legendaries helps.

Day one of hunting Moltres for me and a friend. We found a group and tagged along for three raids in the nearby area. 0/3 for me while my friend is 1/3. Feels bad that he broke out of every 10 poke balls I got for the challenge, even with golden raspberries/great catches. I'll keep ok tring though, such a rush to go hunting like this lol.
tried it today.
on one I caught it on the first ball.
on the other moltres got stuck at the top of my screen, didn't come down for 5 minutes so I force quit the app and started again. and then he was going like double speed and wouldn't take another nanab berry. i only hit him once out of 9 balls when I usually hit 9 out 10 @_@
Damn, last 2 Moltres I just did escaped. Both around 90% too. I already have 2, so I'm not really hung up about it. But I am disappointed I really only got 3 balls out of 9 to actually hit the last one. Kept messing up and going way under. When the phone heats up, can be harder for it to go higher for me.

So are they going to keep rotating them around? Or is this going to be like, the only week to get a Moltres.
It is very unlikely that this will be the only week ever to get a Moltres.
but we don't know if they are going to cycle them or if after we go through all three legendary we won't see them for months.
last I heard the rumor was ho-oh was after zapados.
that is just a rumor.
and really any of the following could be likely to happen.
after zapados
A. legendaries are done for a while
B. we have lugia and ho-oh for a week
C. we start a second round of the legendary birds replacing lugia with ho-oh this time.
D. they screw up the game and put legendaries behind a legendary raid pass that can only be obtained by doing other raids but continue legendaries in general.
Some one in a Moltres raid that I just did got zero rare candy from it.
I'm now 6/8 for Articuno and 1/1 on Moltres.
Ho-oh will probably be part of the dogs in the next legendary raid event. I don't think they want to overshadow Moltres and Zapdos with Ho-oh and Raikou just yet. At least wait until everyone unloads all their candies and dust first.

That feeling when you get an excellent catch with a golden razz berry and curve ball on a Moltres and it pops out on the first wiggle like it wasn't shit......
Same. Decided to just only throw straight balls instead. When my phone is getting hot / been playing too long curve balls are very hard for anything far away.
Did my 5th Moltres raid, and caught it with a Straight ball. Guess I'll have to settle with lower chance to catch it.
Happens on all of my excellent throws.
Excellent throws are worthless.
0/4 on Moltres now. Boo.

I saw someone else report that too. Not sure what the deal is.

The easiest raid boss to beat is the hardest to catch.
Didn't they increase the catch rate?
Moltres is a pain in the butt

I will be doing my first attempts at Moltres today. I have two free chances, and potentially a third one when I get a few more Coins from Gym.
It took me five attempts for Articuno, so this won't be easy. Lugia only took me two tries, but I need another one, because 66.7% appraisal is unsatisfying.
I only need 80% on Moltres so that I can quickly move on from this.

0 for 1. Not having that 100% catch rate hurts, man.

Maybe that's my problem. I've been complaining to my wife about my phone being glitchy come catch time.

104 rare candies and no idea what to use them on now. I was using them to speed up my last couple evolutions (Ampharos and Forretress), but now I've got nothing. I already have plenty of candy for all of the valuable fighters (no Stardust though, lol), except legendaries, but I don't really feel like pumping a ton into those either...
Larvitar will always be a safe bet.

Damn! That top one is 98%. Congrats

Today was a huge turn-around for my luck. Last week, I caught Articuno on my 5th attempt despite maximizing my chances with the Golden Berry, curve ball, and radius hits.
I did my first two Moltres raids back-to-back and caught both of them. First has an 84.4% rating, and the second one is 75.6%. They both know Heat Wave, so I'll use a TM on the stronger one. I'm satisfied, and I will primarily raid for items until Zapdos comes out.
I'll go again on either Thursday or Friday. I need to recharge, and I can't play at all on Saturday or Sunday.

2/3 on Moltres. 91% and 84%. Both have Fire Spin and Overheat.
The raid where he escaped was all on me. It was drizzling out and I literally missed 6 balls in a row because my finger kept slipping. I only hit him 3 times. Instead of slowing down I kept digging myself in deeper and deeper, lol.
As far as catch difficulty goes, Lugia is still the easiest for me and Articuno is the hardest by far. Moltres is in the middle. He's farther back than he appears so sometimes my curveballs fall short even though they appear to be dead on. That gets a bit annoying. I just have to have a much more forceful throw and only attempt it when he's near the bottom of the screen.
