Early today I FINALLY caught my first Tyranitar (2053). The first 3 ran on me (2065, 2059, 2067) and 2 others I could not defeat.
This raid was unlike any other raid I had experiencedone. For a small suburban town, 7 people actually showed up at 7:30 in the morning to take it down. Pretty cool! Anyways, right as we took it down, my game crashed... However, I was able to reload the app, receive my bonuse, and try to catch the boss.
Here's where things got interesting. Everything appeared fine. Tyranitar was attacking and jumping, my berry menu was present, and the prender ball was moving around. However, I could not pick the ball up, select the berries, or get any reaction from the game. I was forced to restart and try to start the bonus challenge again.
I managed to get back to the challenge, but this time, the CP was 2071 instead of 2053. Maybe the restart was actually beneficial! I caught it on my second ball, but the CP went back down to 2053. Happy to just have caught it, but frustrating that it didn't stay at 2071.
Has anyone had a similar experience? It wasn't my intention to raise the CP, but this has never happened to me.
Also, I've heard rumors that raid bosses may change soon. Should I power this Tyranitar up or wait it out awhile? According to an online IV calculator, it could be 82% (15 HP, 13 Attack, 9 Defense) OR 87% (15 HP, 10 Attack, 14 Defense). Moveset is Iron Tail, Stone Edge, but I have enough TMs to change that. Normally, anything that is 82% or above I power up as I'm not anecessarily extremely intense player.
If you have read everything up to this point, thank you! I just wanted to share a story since I enjoy reading so many of yours. Any thoughts, commentso, and/or concerns would be appreciated!
Interesting glitch - everyone gets a different IV roll, they must have calculated a new one on the fly but did the "right thing" by giving you the one you had been assigned originally.
That's for sure an 87% though. Bosses are like eggs in that each stat is >= 10, so it couldn't have 9 DEF. Not bad, but I'd wait for one with a higher ATK personally.
Just as we were beating the boss my app crashed. When I came back in, the rewards popped up and I was allowed to try and catch the raid boss. I didn't have to click on anything. Everything appeared normal except I could not pull up the berries or grab and throw the premier ball. Forced to restart the app and was allowed to battle the boss again but this time it had a higher CP (2071 vs 2053). Again, I didn't have to click on anything. Just had to wait for everything to load in and the Tyranitar bonus challenge popped up much like it does after it shows how many premier balls you get. Ended up catching it but went back to 2053 CP.
I was convinced that I had lost another Tyranitar but the game just started where it left off.
