rural player
i think niantic has to give rural players a shot at a legendary say after evolving 50-100 of the same type of mon's like evolving 50-100 fire type to have a shot at moltres..?
in that way i think we can get one..

Yeah...prob the least rare 'rare pokemon' really.
Hell...if you started at 0 machop candy right now, it would be harder to go out and get yourself a Machamp than it is Legendary.
Yet this is only for the people who can do them...the ones who are able to find a place and find the players to do tier 5 raids...once they are able to beat them...theres not really a shortage of actual legendary raid spawns...so they can be swimming in Legendary pokemon with enough effort.
However the people who cant feel like they will never be able to defeat and catch one.
The sheer void between these two types of players is growing huge. They are farmable for some, impossible for others.
Go into the nearest city on a nice day, and go between legendary raids (use whatever the local tracker is to find the raids) until you see a group of people standing around poking their phones. They probably will have started already, but go with them to the next raids. That's how it works around here, at least - in major cities, there is a ton of raiding activity. Hell, team mystic had a guy with a big van last weekend driving around with like a dozen people in it (including one instinct player who was female and cute enough to finagle a spot when she ran into them at the raid); otherwise there's usually a convoy of vehicles traveling between raids. If you have a car, you can offer to give people rides to the next raid (so clean the crap out of the back seat).
Give up! I have!!!!!
I saw a total of 23 Articuno, 7 Lugia, and now 4 Moltres. Haven't fought a single one. In most cases, I didn't find the raid until it was at least 20 - 30 (or more) minutes old, and no one was there but me. When the nearest gym is more than 2 miles away, and you can't see any on your screen, you only find raids by pure luck.
So, I am not even trying any more. I surrender to the fact that Niantic just doesn't give a rat's ass about the rural player! As far as I'm concerned, Legendaries don't exist.
Good choice. As long as Niantic is primarily incentivizing riding around for hours and hours (just to stand somewhere for 10-15 minutes at a time before getting back in a vehicle), it's probably best to set the game aside, or at least that aspect of the game, hoping that they might eventually find a better kind of activity to incentivize.
If you've watched the main PoGo youtubers lately, you've gotten to see a lot of driving and standing on sidewalks. It's wildly boring but that's the best way to play if you want to catch legendaries right now.
