Raikous catch rate without the electric badge ?

To all of you who had raikou on september and no electric badge what are your results ?
I'm at 137/200. The only electric pokemon that spawns regularly where I live is chinchou and unfortunately I used to ignore it after I got my first lanturn until I realised I need the badge for raikou.

I had silver for mine when it first came out and i got 10/12 the first few times till i got gold

85.5% catch rate for Raikou, 100% for Zapdos.
Worse was Moltres and though its early, I feel like Entei will follow suit for me as far as catch rates go for the 3 Beasts/3 Birds.
I honestly don't think the Badges make a difference either like they claim they do.

Wow how can you play enough to have 200 Raikou raids and not have gold electric badge? I have 4200 electric caught and next highest is 2600 normal. Only things that spawn here are magnemite and voltorb

You had 69% catch rate, that is pretty normal/good so doesn't look like it hurt you much

Wish I could thumbs up your comment based off the first sentence alone even more.

No you didnt understand. I meant I'm at 137/200 on the electric badge, not on raikou raids. I'm at 0/0 on raikou raids. It just became available for me today and I dont have the badge I need to catch 63 more electric mons

Oh oops I misunderstood that. The link below has a good rundown of how much the gold badge matters on a single throw. So for example on the legendary beasts, assume you use Golden Razz and get a Great Throw on a Curve Ball - your odds go from 12.1% to 13.1%.

The difference compounds when you throw multiple balls, so say you have 8 great throw curve balls - your odds go from 64% with silver to 67% with gold. So enough to matter, but it doesn't matter nearly as much as say throwing curve balls or getting great/excellent throws
