My understanding was that the type of ball didn’t actually matter when catching raid pokes.
I’ve been catching them all in premiere balls just because.
it does matter (because it affects catch rate - you can whiff on gigantimax ones, even if most normal ones are 100%) but more importantly fashion

This person gets it.

Saw a shiny jangmo-o and failed to catch it this morning :smith:

It is easier with raid battles at least because you can always save outside the den when you see a poke you want to fashion ball. Yeah, you have to go through the battle again, but the option is there.

The only thing I’m trying for this gen is training up all the G-max mons and maybe the half dozen other new ones that caught my eye.

That said, I’ll eventually need a kind goon to trade me G-max Machamp and Coalossal.

What's a good thing to breed up in Shield if I want to do some surprise trading but also actually give people nice things instead of their thirtieth Skwovet

I... didn't realize that it didn't force you to autosave after clearing a den, like it does with surprise trades and such. Wouldn't have helped with the jangmo-o because it was someone else's raid, did help with corviknight.

Seconding Anything But Dreepy, wonder trade is infested with the drat things. And they're never even in nice poke balls, but seriously, thing's got like a 38% usage rate in VGC, it makes sense, but wow.

I hate raids now because only getting one shot at mons conflicts with my desire to catch them in thematically appropriate balls.

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity, to get the pokemon you wanted. Would you capture it, or let it slip?

I haven't even seen a Drampa or Goomy yet so I'm going to go with those. Ponyta also took an excessive amount of time to find as well.
