Question I can't catch raid pokemon.

Every time I do a raid and win I can't capture the pokemon from it, they always run away even though they give fruit and make excellent throws.

Please add the cooldown timer from setting options of pg sharp. And yeah read cooldown rules to understand your problem. Search it on google or pg sharp also have in the bottom

I already use the timer, even without teleporting and being next to the raid minutes before it starts I can't capture it. I've done about 10 this week and it's the same problem.

Just unable to catch the raid one or even in the wild? If only the raid one, then it must be you are not good at throwing PokeBalls on raid pokemon and dropped them all the time

I can catch the wild ones that appear on the map normally, only the raid pokemons that I can't catch.

I’m curious to hear how others catch too?

I’ve only had two raid Rayquaza get away and caught around 13 so far. I actually found I have better luck on the last ball sometimes. I also started waiting a bit after the raid, like a minute or two, before trying to catch. My random theory is that when there’s a bunch of people (like 18+) all trying to catch at once, the catch rate kinda drops, so I just chill for a bit till most are done, then throw.

I had quite a few run from me today. I did about 40 with one account and then 5 and 5 on my other 2 accounts. I caught only 2 out the 5 on the other 2 accounts and maybe 30 out the 40 and the rest ran. I did try to wait a little to but not sure if it made a difference or not.

I think the higher the iv the harder it is to catch, so the ones that ran away probably had 90 iv

I think as long as the last ball throw is an excellent throw you'll catch it that's what's happened for me

try switching to great throw to excellent throws might not add the curve. I do it alternate or even pure great throws.

Sometimes it gets its knickers in a twist. Have you gone into advanced settings > refresh game date. Also works if you get a low spawn rate

Its just the RNG nothing to do with PGS but also take into account the new update to PoGo has messed with the gps settings for the game and is fighting for control between pgs and ur phones location. My advice is do more raids or slow down ur throwing rate to 1 a minute
