My Zapdos Story

I live in a small city of less than 100,000 people and I'm also a solo player so legendary raids have proven a challenge. I once was able to find a group battling an Articuno, but was unable to capture it. That was my only legendary raid until today.

My office building is also a gym and around 1:30 I noticed a couple of cars pull in to the parking lot and stay there. I opened up the app just to check and sure enough, Zapdos had paid a visit. Over the next few minutes more people showed up and since I can reach the gym from my office, I joined in. We took it down easily and I caught Zapdos on my second throw! I was so thrilled I didn't even care that I didn't get a single TM out of the raid. Pretty good IV's too, 91%. Anyways, just wanted to share for those who are also struggling with finding legendary raids. I had pretty much given up hope of landing one but happened to be in the right place at the right time today.

Congratulations. Zapdos is the one to catch as I think it is more useful than Lugia, Articuno, and Moltres.

If you happen to get another legendary raid with people showing you may want to go out there introduce yourself to one of the larger groups. Might be able to join a chat and take down more legendaries in the future.

This! It doesn't hurt to nicely ask if you can join their raid group or just ask if they are members of any Facebook group or something. Congrats, btw!

This x2. I live in a town of 50,000. I discuss raids via a Facebook messenger chat. On Zapdos evening first day we would split 45 people into three separate raid groups. I would assume most cities have similar groups!

Many congrats - I am also a solo player and don'y have any legendaries so far (despite trying several raids where no-one else has turned up).

Where I live not enough trainers play catching a legendary is a joke. When a few do show they aren't social and we all lose out. Hope they change things up for those that live in places where the game is not that popular make some way where we can catch legendary s also. No sense alright spending and playing daily if you can't catch any legendary Pokemon.
