thats ur own fault, should just throw it to the side or lighter.

Update! I ran into Moltres today! Tried the trick by dropping 12 Ultra Balls, then getting an Excellent Throw on number 13. 👌 Caught my first Galarian Bird!!! Decent Pvp IV's with 4/9/14 and 1248 CP. I can't wait to try it out in open GL!!!

[@anikkhan4796]

Hey guys, I am so happy right now. This trick really works. I have come across over 2 dozen birds over the past couple of months. Always ran on me. Just this morning I came across this video and before getting ready for work, I prayed then stepped out for 15 mins (windy weather on the app, increase chance of encounter with a bird). I tried the trick, used a golden Razz, missed about 40-50 great balls, and then hit the ultra ball. I can proudly say PRAYING and this TRICK really worked!!! Attaching a photo for evidence! Thanks so much for creating this video. My favorite legendary is the Galarian Moltres, when I first encountered it over a year ago, I recall calling my younger brother and telling him how sad I was. I am so happy now! Please give this a try guys. It really works, remember, praying increases your chances as well. Prayed for a galarian (specifically a Moltres) and it worked! God is great!

[@anikkhan4796]

Sorry guys, for some reason KZbin is unable to access my photos. I have been trying to attach the photo.

[@anikkhan4796]

Also, totally forgot to mention, I was so nervous that I botched the throw (couldn't even get a "nice throw") but when it did the 3 circles and cought it I could not believe my eyes!

I've tried this the last 2 days I've encounted a galarian bird Articuno & Moltres. Both ran so yeah not guaranteed but each did shake twice before running when normally they would break out immediately

[@treefeather6462]

Same. Moltres/Zapdos both still ran, but did shake twice.

[@musiczillagames1178]

I did it with moltres, and it only did shake once, did a normal nice throw without glitch it shook 2 times. Same thing happen with an articuno two days ago

[@EnlightendBeast999]

So I feel like this should be reiterated so everyone is fully aware. The catch trick is NOT GUARANTEED, it is still pretty based on RNG. Remember, it's said that multiple misses on the pokemon only makes your catch rate a bit higher, it doesn't make your catches guaranteed catches. So if it doesn't work for you the first time, or a few times, it doesn't necessarily mean the trick doesn't work, RNG just wasn't in your favor for those attempts.

[@adri2663]

I tried it for the first time a couple days ago and didn’t work. Tom threw away way more balls though then I did but I got rid of around 12 maybe even 15 like suggested but didn’t work for me so yeah RNG is still at play unfortunately 😅

[@ltlwatcher]

0 for 5 on those birds and I havnt seen one in a month I sorta gave up on those I have a better chance at getting a shundo and then running into and or catching those.

The rng on this game is fucked… I got b2b shiny xerneaus and then I couldn’t catch the regular one… every single time no matter what it hopped out before first jiggle… how the rng gon lemme double up on shiny but can’t even catch regular… okay niantic 👌

[@ltlwatcher]

It's like you when you get 20 premier balls from a raid. It doesn't guarantee you're going to catch the raid boss.

[@BellhenderOfficial]

I'm an instructor for little pokeclub for children and 1 of our players have tried this 2 times and he has Moltres and Articuno. I'm so happy and proud this technique is somehow working. I'm waiting my bird to come to test it as well. Really can't wait. Our kid threw about 30 red balls and with golden berry and ultra ball bang captured.

[@rufusjones9115]

Something similar to this works on raid bosses. The less balls you have, the more likely you are to catch it. But as opposed to the birds, raid bosses can’t run away unless you run out of balls completely, so you should always try to hit raid bosses

[@InitialXG]

I just caught my first Galarian bird yesterday. An articuno. Golden razz. Ultra. Terrible throw. Thought I lost it for sure. 1 shake….yeah just break out already. 2 shakes…just teasing me like always…third shake. OMFG!!!! I’ve only been playing for a month so when it got registered to my Pokédex, it’s hilarious seeing nothing around it but snorlax. I don’t even have a normal articuno

@@mainardigiorgio779 I hope you catch one soon. I only started playing in January. Technically played for a month back in 2016 when the game came out but I decided to log back in because I planned a trip to Japan. I first ran into Galarian articuno in Kyoto and was so confused what that was. It almost freaked me out. I’ve been out of the loop for so long so I had no idea how big of a deal it was to get one.

[@JonathanNgHT]

Literally 1 hour after watching this video, I went on a walk and encountered moltres too. Threw 20+ Ultra balls. First throw was a Great and after two shakes it was still there. Second throw was a Nice and after two shakes, it fled. I think it increases the chances but it doesn't guarantee the catch.

[@QANA.Studio]

i miss this change yesterday. Galarian Articuno. thanks for the tip. hope get legendary next time.

Worked for me. Galarian Zapdos. Threw and failed with 15 regular balls, then a golden razz and an ultra ball. I also missed the excellent, but I did catch it, though not a critical catch.

[@Idontknowwhattoputherern]

I got a Galarain Moltres out of nowhere and I was shaken and I threw an ultra ball and I got a critical catch and caught it

[@_.starkitty._]

I tried this out on an Articuno. i wasted my great balls instead of my ultra balls (cause I was low on ultra balls) after around 11 throws i tried the golden razz berry and watsed another 6-7 balls (this time ultra balls). Then i finally threw my ultra ball, dint get an excellent, but i caught it! The cp was in the 400s so maybe that helped too.

[@coelapoint]

Three days ago I master balled a perfect galarian moltres and there was no one around to celebrate with me. I was shaking so bad that I thought I would pass out!🤣

[@NvrGoATM]

I need a new test. Do you have yo waist ultra balls to make this work. Can you waist a ton of normal balls first then switch to ultra for the catch?

I have two different galarian birds of my own, I have yet to see a galarian bird and not catch it BECAUSE- they both spawned at the end of a daily incense and I INTENTIONALLY waited until I knew that the timer for the daily incense was over.

i managed to get galarian zapdos recently, i did not use the technic but one thing i did was to calm down. you should calm down before throwing the ball at the bird. do not throw the ball if your heart is pounding a lot, do deep breaths before throwing the ball. You can do the technic but just remember to stay chill, the bird will not run away unless it comes out of the ball.

This is how raids work. The catch rate increases as you throw more balls. You don't have to miss them in raids but you have to miss them with birds because they have 90% flee rate.
