Not a question but a friendly reminder

Last week I got a 96iv Raikou with 15A and I powered up right away as I thought it is good enough for me...

Luckily I caught a 1913 Raikou today (my first perfect legendary:)). I'm still happy with my 96iv... So it makes sense to power up only after the legendary is not available if you intend only power one per legendary.

I've taken a 15/12/15 TS/WC to 30 (2851), also a 14/14/15 TS/TB to 30 (2853). Also a 14/14/15 Zapdos CB/TB to (31.5) 2907. Anything beyond this and I will take my very best one. Immediately going from 20 to 38 is the definition of extreme imo.

Crazy luck you guys. I would be good with any one of those you got.

Done 40 Raikou raids already and I've only saw one above 1900 (a 1905) and failed to catch it (all excellent throws in upper left corner-counterclock technique; granted, I only got 8 balls, but still..) The best one I've caught is 1896, 14atk. I'm beginning to lose hope. Happened with Zapdos too. Did 53 raids and only ever saw one above 1890 and it fled.

Do excellent throws and curve bonuses actually work? I'm 2-9 today jeez. Am I doing sth wrong?

Count your blessings guys!

Thanks, all.

I think curve ball bonus is still relevant for the catch, but luck is even more important. I'd say I'm a consistent great curved ball thrower if you think it's relevant.

I’m a consistent excellent curve ball thrower...

Worse thing is I can’t happen to come across good ones. I’d meet an “ok” one, then a dozen bad ones. I know ppl who use only their free passes and get perfect iv ones. All I’m asking is a couple more chances with 93% up.

I’ve had much much better luck with Tyranitars (including two 100%) than these two electric mons. Maybe my luck ran out. But too severe a punishment(s) from the PokeGods no? First Zapdos now Raikou.

Again, congrats.

They will be back. Niantic is finding that players feel this one month with only one possibility for a legendary is getting stale fast. And we won't have to wait as long for the Gen3 legendaries. Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon, come to papa, ....

At least you’ve seen it lol. I feel you though.

I somehow can’t even see ones above 1900. Only once out of 40 raids.

I have rare candies galore and nowhere to invest them.
