How do we manage to catch the legendaries...

...with the current super low catch rate and very few to almost no golden razberries rewarded? This is so frustrating.

The way I see it is they hooked us up before and this is the way it should be. Really was too easy before, I was catching 80% of my legends pre rewards nerf. Another week more and I would have banked RC and was already throwing GRs at gyms which is truthfully ridiculous. Being frustrated and working hard make the game more challenging and fun.

Agree(up) or disagree(thumb down)?

It may have been easy, but that was for those around Grant Park, where Niantic made it 100% catch rate.They should have by now released the update with the fix for that glitch where the pokémon break out at the last ball already. I personally think they are holding it off a little longer so they can make more money from players.

they've also been giving one extra ball for a few days, so the glitch has been effectively fixed since then

A few days after golden razz became rare I hit zero GR...now I'm back to 42, I've also caught a 96% Lugia and my 2nd 96% Moltres since I've been rationing them. Many times I organize Tyranitar raids (easy to beat) for the berries and the Tyranitar candy, I nanab or pinap them.

We managed to save over 100-200 GR's pre-nerf and fortunately we did as Suicune be jumping and knocking away pokeballs at a silly rate. It took me three raids and 25 Pokeballs (caught him at my 3rd raid with my 3rd throw with 9 Pokeballs to spare) to finally catch him...

... but anyway, we felt bad for those at the raids who didn't have enough GR's, man. Some were awarded 3, 6 or 0. A couple of trainers got 9. However, one of my son's managed to catch his first Suicune with a Nanab & Excellent throw, I kid you not, but we all agreed that it was probably an anomaly but there is a chance...

Going in the first time is hard as you haven't got the movements and timing down but once you do get them down, you're good to go, mate. I'm now 2-4 after doing my fourth raid.

Good luck.

It was ok
i hit 6 balls in a row (all GR, GT CB) before he stuck but he wasn't as twitchy as a TTar

Yep.
I went on a last day of catching birds yesterday starting with 25 golden raz. After 2 catches on last and last before last balls and a failed zapdos, I only had 6 goldens for a Moltress. It's think it's harder to catch, was low cp and I already got a perfect, so I stopped when I had 3 golden raz left, keeping them for more runs and using the only berries I had left, 2 rasperries and 1 banana. Of course I didn't catch that one. But I did 2 more raids after that, catching 2 birds (got 6 and 3 GR as rewards) and I finished with ONE golden raspberry left...
It was a good day 1 caught one of each bird, grand slam :))

But I thought I would have time to do daily free pass level 2/3/4 to accumulate goldens before Mewtwo... and now Suicune is around and I don't know if I can try it with only one berry in my bag... argh

I know what you mean, but for those days you can't get to one and don't want to loose the free pass and it's 6:30pm and there's only a Muk and a Blastoise raids with not many people around... you do the Muk. It's the only way to accumulate GR anyways

Yes you do, you say you are lacking golden razz! After my 12th Zapdos I decided I pretty much could skip a day of legendaries. Tyranitar is almost too easy, people are going to be rolling around with 15 Dragos if it is similar

But even doing low level raids does not guarantee that we will always be rewarded with rare items, right?

Well, you have less pressure to burn golden berries at a non-legendary raid---you barely care, more premier balls, higher catch rate, most of the time you didn't wait an hour b/c someone finally got the urge to go raid a Zap/Molt once they had multiple confirmations they would now be the 9th wheel

I've found the most stable rewards are for solo t3 with machamps being the usual target due to being both relatively easy and relatively valuable.
it's how i keep my berry supply stable

I'm a lot more impressed by those who can do solo t3 than t4/t5 in large groups. And yes, t2/t3 give decent rewards.

If the Legend is of low IV, then no point using golden. Hoard them for Mewtwo, Uh-oh and whatever in Gen 3.
