Normally, I'd say Niantic hates fun like this, so we'll never see hats on non Pikachu Pokémon, but I think that in this case, it's the fault of The Pokémon Company.

Had the game totally crash on me while loading into a raid this arvo. It didn’t reload in time for the actual fight to be over, so I wasn’t able to rejoin and just do the catch. And then the lady standing next to me got a shiny Kyogre. :negative:

Wait, did you get to the point where you were actually battling? Because if yes, even if the fight is over, you can just re-enter the gym and it will let you just do the catch.

If no, then everyone else should have bailed out of the lobby and rejoined after your phone worked again, that's what we would have done :colbert:

I think you need to be in the battle at the point it ends for this to work; you can't have been in at the start, let everyone else beat the boss and then rejoin just to catch it.

When the same thing happens (if we're comfortable for time to win) we just stop dealing damage to prolong the battle, and bail out if they aren't going to rejoin in time.

Nope, it crashed out on me between the lobby and the battle. I thought I’d have time to reboot the game and get back in, but it went super weird on me and took way longer than normal, and I didn’t want to be a bother to these people because a lot of them work in my building and it was only the second time I’d raided with them. I think it was something to do with the raid being in an area where the work wifi almost but not quite reaches - the game seems to hate switching from wifi to mobile.

On a somewhat related note, I only learned yesterday that a raid pass gives you multiple attempts to beat the boss. Is there a limit on that?

Dang Groudon has a long "cooldown" after he attacks. One bounced two shots I couldn't afford to lose because I aimed to hit him while he appeared to just be standing there post-attack but was in fact still invulnerable. A warning to anyone else who didn't know this!

Yeah his attack animation lasts a good half second later than it looks like it should. I found out that starting your curve ball wind-up as he's retreating his arm from the blow works.

Yeah this killed like 3 balls before I figured out the timing. You really can't throw until he's been standing still for like a whole second. He's got all those "active frames" that don't really make sense.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. It really hates the wifi/LTE split.

And the only limit is the amount of time the raid boss is still there for. If there's 45 minutes on the timer, you're more than welcome to try and beat him 8 times or whatever. Last year I used the same raid pass to try and solo an Arcanine four times before I finally succeeded.

I just don't get why they don't besides that Niantic looked at balance for one day this whole time the game's been around. And aren't they out of official fairy type move names to make one into a fast move? They'd have to make something up at this point like Glitter Hail or whatever.

They could switch one that's currently a charge move and make it a quick move. Like draining kiss is a super weak charge move, just make the charge version legacy and start adding it as a fast move.

Fairy Wind is a weak Fairy move from the games that is yet to be implemented in Go and would fit in perfectly as a fast move. There's definitely a bunch of spare status moves that could be retconned too.

I raided a Kyogre today, got 7 balls, the first one spazzed off sideways because my phone decided I was hitting the menu buttons, the second one missed because I didn't realise how far away from the screen it was, and then the rest all failed.

Hopefully I get another chance.

I can never actually catch Kyogre, it always escapes. 12 balls and it doesn’t give a poo poo about any of them, one roll and out (and yeah I’m doing all of the tricks). Groudon is like the exact opposite and I always get it.
