Entei IVs
It's really starting to get ridiculous...I caught 19 out of 26 Entei and the best I've seen is a 89% 1909 CP one. 5 total over 1900 out of the 26 beast-raids. Anyone else having this problem. It's getting frustrating when seeing other casual players getting 98% on their first or second raid attempt all the time.

Having the same problem with Suicune (I am in Asia). I have caught 19 but only one is over 90% (93%) next best are 3 at 87%. Personally I am happy with this and not raiding Suicune much now. My catch rate is very high even though I usually use regular berries (use gold raz only on the 90% +). I have found it MUCH harder to catch the high IV Suicune when I see them as I have missed a few at 93-96%. Could be nerves on my end but probably not as I seem to hit a lot of Great shots but the beast leaps out immediately ... as Pokemon do in a "soft ban" so I am thinking the program has already determined that I am not gonna catch it.
I think Niantic in general nerfed the IV rates early this month (ie early after the Hounds were released) as I am now finding lower IVs for nearly ALL raid bosses. I frequently do a two team vs 3 stars (esp Gengar and Alakazam) and we are not getting the high 90% IVs like we did last month and in earlier months.
Frankly, I am OK with a policy that awards fewer super high IV legendaries as they should have some scarcity factor ... but I wish Niantic would just say this is the case so that raiders will not get so frustrated and whiney. I still find lots of people who are whining about catching a 100% as if that would somehow make their life better. I admire their passion but as many of these people are too lazy to hatch a great pokemon and walk it to level 30 (i have done that many many times), I don't honestly think they deserve a super high IV legendary / Ttar / Lax etc.
Same thing happened to me. On my 37th raikou about a week ago. Hit 8 excellent curve in a row. Catch rate was 31 out of 36 but after the 1913 ran away I ran out of luck. 31 out of 41 now :( this was my first perfect I have ever seen in a raid. I haven't really raided much after that, I been so bummed out. All I want is perfect raikou and mewtwo. Or a perfect tyranitar would be nice too.
I feel you, I was in a worse situation up until recently. I've seen 70 Entei and caught 50. I didn't see my 98% (1926 CP) until encounter number 65. Before that, the best I'd seen was 1910 (three times), so it is entirely up to luck. The number of Entei raids I've done is literally triple the Articuno raids I've done, and while my only decent Entei is the 1926 (the second and third best I have are both 1910, but they're 13/15/14...), I have one 100% articuno, 2 98%, 2 96%, and multiple 93%. So, at the end of the day, it's all down to luck...
In the long run it will even out. But in 20-30 catches you are in no way promised something good.
1 in 216 is 100% (half get it before, the rest after).
3 in 216 are 98%
6 in 216 are 96%
Add to that the catch rate that maybe is somewhat above 50%.
My score on 75 Entei raids is one 96%, which I luckily also caught. I am certainly below the average but it starts to even out. Took 65 Entei to get one above 91%.
