Common Pokemon a harder to catch ?
Is it just me or Niantic have given this pokemon some drugs because it took me 6pokeball , 2greatball , 1ultraball+berries and I still cant catch a 388cp Rattata .. All my catch are like this , it took me a couple of try to get those common pokemon .. Caught 955cp Exeggutor 1ultra+berries and it goes down easily .. What is the point of getting all those gold medals if you can`t catch that type of pokemon ?

I found ever since the Halloween event ended pokemon in general are much harder to catch. Rats have always been tough and I stopped trying to catch them for this exact reason. Now I have to waste pokeballs on them incase they are a ditto.
They did something in the last few weeks with making pokemon harder to catch. So frustrating. Always low on pokeballs as a result.
The catch rate is the same. Perhaps you want to try different ways of throwing the ball on your first try (and subsequent tries)? Just my personal superstitious belief, but I believe there are specific ways of throwing to which wild pokemon are "weak" to. At least, specific to my character. For example, all of my Abras were caught using a straight throw; every single boomerang throw led to Abra running away.
