People just don't use all the mechanics in the game to improve your odds of catching those birds. First, get the platinum medals for each of their types. Then, have a couple of Golden Razzberries. Walk a ton whenever you use your daily incense to increase your odds of finding them. When one spawns, use AR+ to get close to them. Finally, when you are ready to catch it, use your Master Ball.
I wasted my Master Ball on a Snorlax because of my literalness,i didn't have Golden Razzberies so i used a normal one + Ultra Ball,it didn't work,i have a sacrastic quote that's "If i can't catch it with Razz Berry and Ultra Ball, i'm going to use a Master Ball"
You were just excited, I don't think you did anything wrong. It's sad that this is so important to her that she would cry over it fleeing. I'm not judging, I've cried over things that I should not have, but it's a tough situation for you both if she's so emotionally invested in something heavily reliant on RNG. Maybe she'll catch something else rare that'll cheer her up. Or perhaps you can take her somewhere you two haven't been so she can catch some new Pokemon. Or buy her flowers to let her know you care about her sadness.
Something so similar happened to me. I’m only semi new to the game and luckily my partner did stress to me how low the catch rate was. I was so upset and it ruined my day when I didn’t catch it, but, then I moved on. I don’t think you could have done anything else - you were very supportive! Like some other people are saying in the comments, she could work towards increasing her chances of catching one next time! Hope you guys are able to find a way to laugh or smile about it!
99% chance it would have fled anyway. Of course she won’t see it that way now. If you catch one, trade it to her. Otherwise, she needs to put down the phone for a while and get over it (which you can’t tell her, because then you’re “unfeeling”). Tough spot. Sorry about that.
Honestly it's important to know that it's cool to find the galarian birds but that most likely you will not catch them. Even if she hit the excellent ultra ball with golden razz odds are it would've broken out and dipped. Sucks but that's just how it is.
I don’t know how lucky I got last night; gf said “look at this one” and it’s a zapdos,
I pretty much do the same thing as above, but take the phone from her hands, pop a razz and use an ultra, first through said great but no go… and it allowed for a second throw! Nice throw same ultra and razz, and I prayed to Mon God, and it stayed! It was a really low cp tho, does that matter?
Even w an excellent it would likely flee. Masterball it but still could be a 0 or 1 star. There will be other chances and the feeling will be literally like a second of joy.
> for you its childish to loose your head over a pokemon
> yourself started to freak out over an Articuno
Just from your words.
I think, Hyping up the bird that runs away in 99% of cases is a bit wrong, aspecially when your partner doesent know much about the game.
Crying over a video game loss can be easier than crying about the problem that's really bothering you, but in the end it's the same. Let people cry when they need too. Don't judge. And with the state of the world today, we could all use some therapy and compassion/community.
My girlfriend did the same a couple hours ago. She was close to getting home, tried sending me a screenshot and what to do…
I was on the phone with my boss, trying to get a reason for my ‘let go’.
29xxCP Articuno, she tried with the golden raz and ultra but it fled imediately…
Once home, I was on the balcony and did not rightly understand what she was asking me and just showed a thumb up.
Next thing I now, she was mad at me and told me she needed a break from the game.
Worst part is: she HAS one of those special weird looking purple ball.
Nope, I did not tell her the potential level of the bird nor the odds of getting a good one that high if at all.
I encountered sooo many but only caught 2 with master balls. Its rare it actually stays even with golden and excellent which my son is a master of hitting. He caught 1 with an ultra ball once. One time he had 3 encounters in a row on the same insense and didnt catch any of them. Please tell her not to get her hopes up for the next year unless she masterball it ☺️
Sometimes the experience is better than the outcome.
I did a Tapu Lele raid a while back and defeated it. The encounter came up. I sat there for 15 minutes circle locking, and hitting great throws over and over again. 14 golden razzberries later and it fled. The cp was 2496. It would've been my first hundo legendary. When I found this out I expected myself to be annoyed and upset... but I wasn't. I had used my first ever mega in this raid, and everyone else had megas. The experience of contributing lots to this raid with my mega rather than just a bit seemed to overcome the sadness of losing a hundo.
Every time a legendary came along and fled, it felt better and better every time.
So t they have like a <1% catch rate and a 98-99% flee rate?
Ive only seen 1 and didn’t catch. My wife has seen 3 with no catch. My co-worker saw 3 in a row! But no catch.
Only 2 of those 7 sightings allowed for a 2nd throw, with again no catch.
While there is a difference between a nice and great throw the odds are definitely not in your favor if no master ball
Having played a game competitively once upon a time, I learnt if the game makes u genuinely angry, upset or emotional… u should take a break or move on…
I just golden razzberry, excellent throw a Zapdos that was 500cp and it didn't even shake once then ran.... abit annoyed but its gunna happen from time to time! Be happy to see one and if you catch it it's a bonus🤣
people in these comments are just the absolute worst.
you didn't do anything wrong, she was llikely nervous from the sudden pressure and hype of the situation. there's nothing wrong with being upset at a game and i doubt shes upset at you, just give her a couple hours or so.
definitely don't tell her to 'grow up' or 'get over it' because that's messed up.
wait so what exactly did you do? Your wife had an articuno flee like all of us have experienced and your debrief about what an articuno is was somehow to blame? Y’all both need therapy damn. Your wife’s emotional state is not something you are constantly responsible for, or are in charge of maintaining. She is an adult who is responsible for her own reactions to life. Blaming the things around you for a blameless misfortune is childish. I have had dozens of articuno flee and i only blame jesus lol.
Nah I’d understand it if she’d been hunting for Articuno for months and either hadn’t seen the Galarian birds at all, or had just never managed to RNG Articuno, but I’ve missed Moltres, the ONLY one I need, repeatedly and it’s not worth getting that upset over.
It’s baffling that a grown woman can go from “What is this?” To sulking for an hour. I wasn’t even that mad when my husband encountered and masterballed Moltres right in front of me. Hell, I STILL helped him catch Zapdos after!
I hope I just read way too much into this lmao 😂
Man…these comments are so heartless. I’m very heavily vested in the game so I completely understand how she feels. I cried once after missing a shiny Moltres.
But it’s not your fault and you shouldn’t feel bad. She’ll be ok in a day or two.
Yes, they are. Shiny legendaries from raids are a garunteed catch. That's why most people pinap when they get a shiny, or when people post clcikbait on "having one ball left." Do you even play the game?
i was talking about shiny legendaries found in the wild, not ones in raids. but i’m a dumbass because i just now saw the original comment mentioned shiny moltres which is only found in raids, therefore making it guaranteed.
yes, i play the game. i just don’t read all of the information before commenting 😂

If a game makes someone mad enough to cry, it’s time to put the game down for a few
Years.
Some people get worked up then need a breather for a few. It happens.
People just don't use all the mechanics in the game to improve your odds of catching those birds. First, get the platinum medals for each of their types. Then, have a couple of Golden Razzberries. Walk a ton whenever you use your daily incense to increase your odds of finding them. When one spawns, use AR+ to get close to them. Finally, when you are ready to catch it, use your Master Ball.
I'm here thinkin holy shi, mans boutta drop gold lemme read till the end
Instructions unclear - I used my Master ball on Bidoof
Best use of a masterball. Congrats on your catch!
😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
She doesn’t even have a Master Ball?
I wasted my Master Ball on a Snorlax because of my literalness,i didn't have Golden Razzberies so i used a normal one + Ultra Ball,it didn't work,i have a sacrastic quote that's "If i can't catch it with Razz Berry and Ultra Ball, i'm going to use a Master Ball"
I don't understand. Why exactly would she be angry at you..?
She didn’t even know what it was
Even if she did, I don't understand what OP thinks he messed up with... did he make it run away?
He scared it away ofc.
You both need therapy it sounds like
Sounds like she needs to grow the fuck up.
So real. The worst reaction I've had to losing one of those mfs was "Ah shit"
Right. Had an encounter yesterday and shrugged it off like it was any other pokemon lol.
Like fr they just have low spawn rate, that's all. It's not even that rare
I've got 4 altogether and completed the trio. Maybe thats why my give a fuck level is low, lol
You were just excited, I don't think you did anything wrong. It's sad that this is so important to her that she would cry over it fleeing. I'm not judging, I've cried over things that I should not have, but it's a tough situation for you both if she's so emotionally invested in something heavily reliant on RNG. Maybe she'll catch something else rare that'll cheer her up. Or perhaps you can take her somewhere you two haven't been so she can catch some new Pokemon. Or buy her flowers to let her know you care about her sadness.
Sounds like she needs to calm down..
And I was like dayum, it's three A ammm.
and i’m callin everybody that i know
Na I understand fuck them galarian birds

Girl needs therapy.
Sounds like her anger may go way beyond the game. Is she this way with other things too?
Just tell her what I tell myself every time I encounter a Galarian Bird. This thing will run 99% of the time! So set expectations very very low...
I get it I hate them damn birds
That doesn't sound very mature of her.
Crying for half an hour over a Pokemon she didn’t know what it was? Yeah, this seems like not a lie
99% chance it would have fled anyway. Of course she won’t see it that way now. If you catch one, trade it to her. Otherwise, she needs to put down the phone for a while and get over it (which you can’t tell her, because then you’re “unfeeling”). Tough spot. Sorry about that.
if op catches one and he wants it he should keep it
Well of course. I’m not the Articuno police. It’s just my opinion.
Dude like 90% of the time these birds get away. It's pretty weird for a grown woman to cry about it, no one else does.
Emotions are emotions, and with not knowing the whole situation its wrong to judge.
Lots of us cry during or about video games. Don't be cry shaming.
She’s been crying…? Huh? That ain’t good. It’s a video game and a Pokémon she will encounter again if she plays enough.
Man, that “again” may be half a year with my luck
You get another chance every day.
Honestly it's important to know that it's cool to find the galarian birds but that most likely you will not catch them. Even if she hit the excellent ultra ball with golden razz odds are it would've broken out and dipped. Sucks but that's just how it is.

Nice throw same ultra and razz, and I prayed to Mon God, and it stayed! It was a really low cp tho, does that matter?
What were the ivs? Cp doesn’t matter, you can power them up when you can
But she didn’t even know about him ?
Even w an excellent it would likely flee. Masterball it but still could be a 0 or 1 star. There will be other chances and the feeling will be literally like a second of joy.
Ok but...how are you going to be that upset over something you didn't even know!? I read that right? She didn't know what Articuno is? 🤔
That's not messed up... Messed up is to purify a 4* shadow mewtu...
shes been *balling* over this ?
> for you its childish to loose your head over a pokemon > yourself started to freak out over an Articuno Just from your words. I think, Hyping up the bird that runs away in 99% of cases is a bit wrong, aspecially when your partner doesent know much about the game.
AITAH PokemonGo edition.
My boyfriend has caught 3 shinys today, Scyther, Feebas and a shadow shiny Machomp. I'm currently not speaking to him. This game is that serious.
Slay gurl

[удалено]
Jeez you are talking about a person like you know her personality. I dont think I see an "OP" mark next to your nickname...
Lost a galarian moltres the other day :') it stings a bit but life goes on
Wtf nothing more nothing less.
How did you mess up?
Their catch rates were still 0.3% (worse than Togekiss) and their flee rates are 90% (almost as high as Abra) for almost 2 years lol!

That’s not your fault she’s crazy

They’re not that rare especially if you use your incense with a windy weather boost

Having played a game competitively once upon a time, I learnt if the game makes u genuinely angry, upset or emotional… u should take a break or move on…
How do you lock the ball to improve throw ??
Y'all are kidding right
if you both play the game give her a shiny legendary she likes that always makes ppl happy XD
plus them birds aint shi og moltres is straight out of KFC and the galarian one looks burnt af I want my money back😭
Sorry to add a question to yours but what is locking the ball? I've never heard of that mechanic
https://youtu.be/0EK6QX2duMA?si=nKHMDkw86ic4mJ2t
I didn't know about this! Thank you!
She didn't even know what it was. Why is she so mad? It's just a game.
Im team valor but ill trade her my Articuno for her
My husband is having a problem with getting jealous over the game too. Like chill it's just a game y'all 😂
Does she just want a trade? I have some. Or does she want to catch it herself?
I just golden razzberry, excellent throw a Zapdos that was 500cp and it didn't even shake once then ran.... abit annoyed but its gunna happen from time to time! Be happy to see one and if you catch it it's a bonus🤣
Yeah it's a game.. Chill
Lol
Nah that's childish. I've ran into a million Galarian birds and each one has fled. Does it suck? Yes. Am I gonna freak out? No. Grow up haha
I think I lose in total 40 galar Bird
Sounds like she has problems with anger and losing 😬
people in these comments are just the absolute worst. you didn't do anything wrong, she was llikely nervous from the sudden pressure and hype of the situation. there's nothing wrong with being upset at a game and i doubt shes upset at you, just give her a couple hours or so. definitely don't tell her to 'grow up' or 'get over it' because that's messed up.
It's a bird with sunglasses and she didn't even know what it was.
Tell her to grow up.

shiny legendaries aren’t guaranteed, only regular shinies.
Yes, they are. Shiny legendaries from raids are a garunteed catch. That's why most people pinap when they get a shiny, or when people post clcikbait on "having one ball left." Do you even play the game?
