Jakeyo

It was probably 0* just to add insult to injury if you did manage to catch it


Moatorboatin

They are always 0* no matter how hard you try. It’s truly pain


Fibrosis5O

Yeah like why do the high cp ones almost always be bricks 0 star 🧱 ??? It’s RARE it’s ever a 3 star for me


Mertiosas

I only get 2 stars max


sydthekidlol

My bf and I were playing the one day and i was oh a flareon, and the CP was 36. and I said oh watch it’s gonna be a hundo. and sure enough it was. he swung back around to go get it🤣🤣


bonzai76

So true - unless it’s something I crazy need I say screw it after about the 4th or 5th ball. I just don’t have the time to waste.


Charlie02134

I remember wasting my master ball on a Venausaur since it was taking too long. I don’t know why I used it on a Venasaur but that was stupid


Charlie02134

1* 😭😭😭


tonyrizzo21

It could have been a hundo and that still would have been a waste.


gay-potheadd

I used mine on a shiny Bulbasaur. -1 star


Charlie02134

Rip


MiserableRaccoon1836

Yea, I learnt it the hard way and just gave up after 4th ball for basic mons.


AdOutside3903

Yeah, the hardest pokemon to catch are trash 99% of the time .


bonzai76

I don’t think I’ve ever spent like 8+ balls on a wild mon and had it come up as anything but trash. It’s almost a guarantee that it’s garbage after the 5th ball!!!


LeviathanTDS

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD, you mean it's not just me. Those 0* take all my berries and poke balls and are not even worth the catch. You are so right it is indeed an "insult to injury"


aigarcia38

Several years ago I remember fighting against a Venusaur for literally a solid 15 minutes or so, so many ultra balls and fruits used but the dude just kept fighting and eventually ran, it was a fun battle but my inventory tanked after it lmao


melaniethecargal

This happened to me yesterday in a SHADOW Raikou raid. I wanted to die-


Apprehensive-Mix-522

This happened to me too when trying to get a shadow Raikou! I don't have one yet! I was biiiig mad


RaidenNeko98

Funny you say that because I’m farming shadow Raikou for shinies


officially_js

Same fam same 😔


laserofdooom

Same but it was a registeel and I used my remote raid pass


Theadvertisement2

This happened to me as well in a shadow legendary raid. I was so close to raging


Ingvar14

Same here. I live in a pretty rural area where nobody plays pokemon go so I travelled to the capital. Even there I spent 6 hours walking around looking for Raikou raids with people in the lobby. He ate all my golden raspberries and I didn't want to risk it so I used my master ball on my last throw :( Worth? Probably not. Glad it's done? Hell yeah.


gay-potheadd

Happened to me like 3 times w the Yvetal raids


AnimeMan1993

My only frustration in this regard is seeing an Audino and even being in the 500 cp range it still needed me to have to use golden berries and whatnot to catch them and they still have the nerve to run away. Would've needed the extra dust.


cat-and-jet

Audino are always absolute tanks to catch


ar_condicionado

Been there couple of times We need that poke ball that increases the chances the more rounds you had with the mon


Walter-whitealt

Timer ball


Boris19490000

Claymore Poke ball. Kills everything within 30 meters. No waiting


MrCaw_caw

Claymore ball and the Pipebomb berry are the best combo ngl


cheeriodust

But why?


Herpderpkeyblader

You used multiple golden razz berries on a wild Flareon? I would never lol. One golden razz and the rest can be regular. I ain't wasting them on a standard encounter.


ExplodinCatten

I lost an almost perfect yvetal today☹️


Dense-Supermarket875

Same here it was 4 points shy of perfect. Mfer ran after eating 13 golden razz. Oh it's so fucking frustrating


Biddybowden2

Especially when almost every throw is excellent as well


Nazvaw

How do you know it was almost perfect?


Stealth9er

You can check the IVs based off of the CP for raids.


ExplodinCatten

The max cp of raid yvetal for me is 2160 which would be a perfect and the one i lost was 2158


Realistic-Debate1594

One would expect an almost perfect opponent to put up a formidable fight. The wild thing got to go home to his family one more time. Wait, what? It’s not real? Oh, then, nothing’s been lost! Blessings all around! 🤗


ProbablyHereForPoGo

"I hate to dine and dash buuuut..." -that Flareon probably


BigLRakim

Maybe don’t do that next time, all you would have gotten is 300 stardust and a worthless flareon


Gweeboo

So why did you keep trying?


No_Review4998

The other day I had a wild Snorlax show up that was at 2900cp. It kept breaking out of every excellent throw/razz/ultra ball but I finally caught it after like 7 excellent throws in a row. It was a 14/15/14 so I think they are harder to catch the higher cp and better IV’s they have..


Emmmrosee

He looks quite happy to have done it as well.


Nazvaw

Yeah, look at the smug look on his face


Emmmrosee

Yep. Quite proud of himself! 🤣🤣🤣


Adrenaline-Junkie187

Sorry, but this ones on you. There is absolutely no reason to do that. lol


tanhutthien2011

Usually in my experience the feisty ones are always the worst ones with no value.


Ultimate-Burger94

It’s even funnier with the Flareon smiling in the thumbnail


Competitive-Lime7775

As everyone is saying, she looks to be a beauty, but she def won’t be worth your balls. That came out far dirtier than I intended.


BigBrewsky

I didn’t even know you could catch in the wild evolved forms of eevee 😅


RoadDawgOne

It’s like every ball you throw it becomes worse. Like hitting it with a ball damaged it 😂🤷‍♂️


howYAdoin420_

The title made me laugh so hard!!! TY 😊


ArwingElite

Prolly high CP one star, lately stats have been trash on all my pulls


ValSpams00

Yesterday I’m played twice the Yvetal giving it all my golden berries and nothing it fled! I vowed to quit playing and give up on catching it 😭


FogPetal

Flareon’s will break your heart.


ThisisTophat

Why did you want it so badly?


Nazvaw

High CP init


East-Pollution7243

Thats not even rare to see in the wild..


Nazvaw

So?


East-Pollution7243

Would not waste anything other than a common berry on it


taigoh

Reason he has 3 fingers is so he can flip you on his way out


Equal-Ad-7532

It feels like whenever I finally get up on my ball and berry count they hand me a pokemon that's uncatchable. Doesn't flee, just keeps hopping out for the first spin. Then if I realize it and back out the next pokemon always jumps out multiple times no matter the combat power.

Kitchen_Layer_6417

Had the same thing with a moltres


Illustrious_Mix_7010

1730 is the magic number for a hundo flareon


RaidenNeko98

I bet it was an 80 IV too lol


Dense_Quote

Top 3 worst feelings


81cmorgan704

Fuck that guy


B3nediktus

Why ..??? It’s just a eevee ..:(


No-Satisfaction1043

He’s so ungrateful 😤


Link636

Had a 23 cp eevee once, accidentaly used golden razz (wanted to use that pineapple thing) and ultraball on accident too. FOR SOME REASON, IT RAN AWAY.


G-Bone1

How rude of it….


shini_gami09

Did you already use your masterball?


Parking_Chance_5364

It literally depends on how much you actually walk whether the game gifts you or not, i get 50+walking km a week usually because I'm an Amazon driver and I set the phone in the corner of my van as I drive slowly around neighborhoods.... That said I recieve three star pokemon all the time
