Use right hand for first 4-5 ball. Change to left hand if not caught. Always excellent curve ball + golden berry

That’s what I had always wondered:
Does left curve vs right curve make any difference? Or to say if they have mechanics to distinguish left curve vs right curve...
I will start to try this way too...

As with all such "urban myths", ask yourself a simple question:
Would it be worth the coding lines and time to implement.

If the answer is "no", they won't have done.

e.g. pushing OK after catching raid boss.

I caught a 100% early on 2/17, then I caught about the next 20 in a row! Then failed the steak on a weather boosted one!
I caught 3 with pine berries!
Now overall is 53/70.
Next time if nothing works, I will switch curve direction!

I'm getting the impression that there's a hidden variable, as if the Rayquaza is easy or hard to catch. Sometimes, I get it with an early 'nice' throw, or on the first ball. Other times, it gets out on the first shake for great throw after great throw.

Of course, we should expect diminishing returns on the later throws, but it seems like more than that, especially with a low catch rate. Don't know, curious if the data miners have found anything like this in the code.

But that 35/37 rate is great, congrats. I'm hovering just under 50% after starting out 0/6, currently 12/25.

I've noticed that when I don't particularly care if I catch a Legendary or not, I wind up catching it. Like lately I've been throwing quickly and sloppily or using Pinaps, and I've caught 5 in a row. I also have this bogus theory that Legendaries are easier to catch during the final two weeks of it's run

I only raid Instinct gyms, get 13-14 balls, and hit the excellent/small great circle nearly every throw. If it has low iv, I pinap the first few throws, but get at least 9-10 high-quality G-razzed curveballs on all of them. All the calculators say I should have an 80-90% catch rate, even with the stupidly low 2% base rate.

I'm 15/29. wtf. My account's just cursed by the random number gods.

I did get a 15/13/15 weather-boosted one, so can't really complain, but could have used those 40+ candies that I missed to power him up. I don't see why they need to be so hard to catch if you can do everything right and still get screwed over by the people you occasionally give money to.

I'm 0/5 on weather boosted Ray and 13/17 on non WB. And that when using only GR on the WB ones, and pinap on low IV regular ones.
