enthuboy_93 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Found it kinda weird Was trying to take down a lugia with around 20 others and after a while I got kicked out But saw some ppl were throwing balls to catch the lugia while there were others still trying to take it down After I managed to get back in to continue the raid, the lugia's life bar was full again although it was half when I got kicked out So are we each seeing the same lugia or a different one??

Once all your pokes faint, you will exit the battle. But it is actually still going on, with others in the same group still battling. If you rejoin immediately (regardless of what battle pokes the game chooses for you), you will re-enter with fully-charged team. If the lugia goes down now, you should be still in the same battle and not have to start a new one. Re-joining, though, means the damage count starts all over again. Even if you win the battle, your contribution before rejoining will still be excluded. You may end up with less reward e.g. no TM, but at least you need not fight again and have a chance to catch the legendary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you rejoin before the legendary is completely taken down, the life bar will be around where it was last (reduced a little bit more, from others battling while you were exited). But if you rejoin after the legendary has been taken down, it will be a new battle with a new group. Then the "life-bar" of the legendary will be full, since it's a new battle, see? Trick is, when pokes fainted, must quickly go in resume battle...and stay in until legendary taken down! enthuboy_93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest duh Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 so far i caught 1/2 lugia and 3/3 articuno. bf only caught 1/4 lugia and 2/6 articuno. i lvl35, he lvl39. we noted that feed golden berry and aiming the throw for when the circle is smallest is more effective. plus great/excellent throw la. of coz must dodge the attacks so that wont lose all 6 mons. but sometimes kena hang very sian. enthuboy_93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried another time after also failed. He just wants one, and niantics friggin RNG chose to troll him every single time... seeing him upset made me pretty angry at niantic My bf and I had a lot of headache with the raids on Sun too. But a little chill helps. I only got my birds yesterday, with all my raid passes on Sun wasted on runaways. The official "catch rate" is supposedly to be just over 2%, but it seems that for most people, its closer to 25-50%. I know there are cases of 100% hits for some lucky ones. My BF caught his on first try for both birds, whereas I did not. But he got a lot of error messages with the raids while I did not, though mine lagged like crazy. So far the weekdays have been kinder to me, getting 1 of each bird yesterday and today, though I burned 5 attempts on Sunday with zero success. Tomorrow one more try and I'd have used up my stockpile of coins. One thing for catching the legendary birds though - try to go for raids in places with heavy traffic, eg town/cbd/popular spots (Hougang 401, MBS). With more people fighting, it seems there is a better chance for good rewards. Then catching the birds is a trick of waiting and aiming your balls. Feeding them golden berry helps a bit too. If you can, go for Great/Excellent throws all the time, and switch left/right-hand curveballs. Your chances increase with them. 5 hours ago, Guest Poke Dot said: Bonus extended for 72hrs.

Coolbriz Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I know it's no big deal but to me, I am so happy that I caught my first Articuno, which I told my pogo friends that I will happily retire from the game when that is accomplished. Not that I'm not playing any more but I can take a back seat with whatever that is happening thereafter Be cool, like a breeze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely, its like they design the game to be played on an iPhone 10, a lot of the graphics and animations are nice but really not that necessary, as much as that can contribute to a pleasant overall experience, itself crashing the game multiple times makes a worse and frustrating gameplay. Seems like their servers are also struggling with the load, and they can't even plan events properly, ownself smack ownself.

But finally caught a pes A Loogi with fourth ball also, no great, no excellent throw, just a golden razzie and hit the outer most ring cos my finger slipped... So, apparently they have increased the catch rate by a teensy weensy bit for the 3 birds, so it'll be a teensy weensy bit easier to catch, by like, 0.01.
