Legendary iv pure luck?

I made over 60 Rayquaza raids, caught about 50, my best has 87% iv, never even saw any over 90%. Is it really pure (un)luck?

Ya I was having the same luck with him- 30 raids never seeing one above 90% and then finally got a 100 the other day and caught it ! My first 100 legend . Hopefully your luck turns around soon

Yes, it's down to pure luck (or bad luck). Some people I raid with have barely seen any above 2050.

The first I encountered (and failed to catch) had 2056, but then I had a long run of really poor IVs.
But in the past nine days I've caught six with 93+ IV. Got two 2078 in a row, which is just crazy.

Best I got 2066cp, three of them. My wife's account battled less than half that number, CAUGHT 2078, 2077, 2076, 2076--four 98%s. Luck+fate+doesn't really matter that much.

It is just bad luck. I haven't raided Ray Ray that hard, I've only got about 30, but I have 1 91% and 1 87%. I had much better luck with the other legendaries. I had similar luck with Kyogre until a 96% dropped the last day. Maybe we'll get lucky tomorrow.

The highest I've seen was a 2067 CP Rayquaza (93%) with 15 ATK, which I caught. The rest have been below 2050 CP, sadly. Let's see if my luck changes tomorrow.

Done about 50 raids and top 6 are 100%, 2x98%, 2x95% and 93%. Throwing 85% times excellents.

yep there is one lady in our raid group that gets high iv's with depressing regularity about 1.5 times the expected rate from number of raids while i sit at 0.7 wathcing her catch another weather boosted 98% rayquaza yesterday was very demoralizing.

In response to the poster, yes it is purely luck ... more on this below.
To the many respondents who are complaining their Legendaries are "ONLY" 91% or 93% ... are you kidding! Those are great Mons, get over it, would your life really be notably better is you had a 100%? Hope you aren't teaching your kids such "perfectionist nonsense". A lot of rural players don't get to catch any legendaries, so count your blessings and be happy with your 90% + awards.
Regarding luck, yes that is ALL it is. I have done raids in which I did zero damage (I mean literally zero did not fire a single shot) due to comm errors) and was still rewarded a very good IV Mon. In others I did well with 2 or 3 damage and received a lacklustre Mon, thus IV can't be related to raid performance / damage. It should be IMHO. The only possible factor I have seen is that I sometime seem to get better IV raid bosses when my team (Instinct) has gym control and /or sometimes when I have a Gold gym badge.
Has any else noticed any patterns that might boost IV in a raid? Good luck to everyone with Lugia this time around!!!
