You have a perfect catch rate for Cresselia too, huh? Here’s my updated chart. Only ones that might be affected by trades and whatnot are Raikou. Everything else should mainly be spot on. It would probably be around 88.6% that’s purely raid catches. ![ShinyChart](https://pokemongohub-forum-bucket-v2.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/4/6447241505290d6cebaa1c34e34ac03e6b38feed.png) ---

Yeah Cresselia is pretty easy to hit excellent so that probably explains it. Did just get a new phone today so the change in size might affect my throwing skills a bit 😛 ---

I honestly have only used Great Throws on it so far, except for one exception where it was a happy accident I got an Excellent. ---

Might be helpful for peace of mind to remember these catch rates are per-encounter, not per-throw. The vast majority of throws at a Legendary will fail to produce a catch. Even Great or Excellent throws are more likely to be escaped than to make the catch. ---

Go to the Pokédex, find the Pokémon you want to see the catch rate for, Then see how many of it you have seen and how many of it you have caught. Then your catch rate is number seen over number caught. ---

Bear in mind, if you raid with a group and somebody in the group has a legendary in the battle team active during your raid, your pokédex will count that as one seen for that type, although you never even had a chance to try to catch it. Same with non-legendaries you see in a gym whose enclosed stop you spin (even if you don’t battle it). So the numbers from the dex are often one or two off, which can make a difference for pokémon for which your numbers seen are very low. ---

That is absolutely not true. I saw Garchomp in a Raid Battle, but it didn’t count towards my Dex, and it was before I could register it. Anything you see in the Raid System doesn’t count towards the Pokedex. The only time it counts in the Dex is if you saw it in the catch screen (catching it or failing to will count towards “seen” either way) or if it was put into a Gym (which is not possible for Legendaries but IS possible for Melmetal). ---

Hm. I’ve seen it absolutely happen multiple times to my own dex, and you’ve absolutely seen it not happen. I’ll concede, in deference to your greater body of experience, and carry with me the distressing awareness that I’ve experienced something that, according to more-authoritative experience, absolutely does not happen.
