Found it kinda weird 
Was trying to take down a lugia with around 20 others and after a while I got kicked out 
But saw some ppl were throwing balls to catch the lugia while there were others still trying to take it down
After I managed to get back in to continue the raid, the lugia's life bar was full again although it was half when I got kicked out
So are we each seeing the same lugia or a different one??

if  all pokemons died and the lugia still alive they will prompt you to rejoin with new pokemons or you can revive the previous one, provided the battle not timeout yet. i first time raid this kind of battle, was abit lost on the interface. by the time revive the previous set and the lugia was already almost gonna died. then thats it, time's up. wtf! i noticed that those using blissey to fight the legendary lugia or artucuno seems to last longer. i dont have blissey yet but the system chose my chansey to fight, it outlast than my other pokemons though the CP only 600++ compared to my 2K+ vaporeans.

Once all your pokes faint, you will exit the battle. But it is actually still going on, with others in the same group still battling. If you rejoin immediately (regardless of what battle pokes the game chooses for you), you will re-enter with fully-charged team. If the lugia goes down now, you should be still in the same battle and not have to start a new one.

 

Re-joining, though, means the damage count starts all over again. Even if you win the battle, your contribution before rejoining will still be excluded. You may end up with less reward e.g. no TM, but at least you need not fight again and have a chance to catch the legendary!;)

Tell him to chill ba 
No point stressing over it too much, it's just a game after all
Take some time to figure out how it works and what's the best way to take down the legendary 
If this time didn't manage to do it, just try again
I had been having problems even getting into the raid at all, kept getting Error 
Jiayous!

So if I rejoin the battle with a new team of Pokemon, after having been kicked out cuz all my Pokemon fainted, the "life-bar" of the legendary will go back to full?
It will go back to full for me only ah?

Well he actually won. But they kept running away after exhausting the premier balls. If tomorrow onwards theyre going to be more elusive niantic better roll out trading system so i can trade one to him. Grrrr

If you rejoin before the legendary is completely taken down, the life bar will be around where it was last (reduced a little bit more, from others battling while you were exited). But if you rejoin after the legendary has been taken down, it will be a new battle with a new group. Then the "life-bar" of the legendary will be full, since it's a new battle, see? ^_^

 

Trick is, when pokes fainted, must quickly go in resume battle...and stay in until legendary taken down!

so far i caught 1/2 lugia and 3/3 articuno.  bf only caught 1/4 lugia and 2/6 articuno.  i lvl35, he lvl39.  

we noted that feed golden berry and aiming the throw for when the circle is smallest is more effective.  plus great/excellent throw la.  of coz must dodge the attacks so that wont lose all 6 mons.  but sometimes kena hang very sian.

My bf and I had a lot of headache with the raids on Sun too.  But a little chill helps.  I only got my birds yesterday, with all my raid passes on Sun wasted on runaways.  The official "catch rate" is supposedly to be just over 2%, but it seems that for most people, its closer to 25-50%.  I know there are cases of 100% hits for some lucky ones.  My BF caught his on first try for both birds, whereas I did not.  But he got a lot of error messages with the raids while I did not, though mine lagged like crazy.  So far the weekdays have been kinder to me, getting 1 of each bird yesterday and today, though I burned 5 attempts on Sunday with zero success.  Tomorrow one more try and I'd have used up my stockpile of coins.

 

One thing for catching the legendary birds though - try to go for raids in places with heavy traffic, eg town/cbd/popular spots (Hougang 401, MBS).  With more people fighting, it seems there is a better chance for good rewards.  Then catching the birds is a trick of waiting and aiming your balls.  Feeding them golden berry helps a bit too.  If you can, go for Great/Excellent throws all the time, and switch left/right-hand curveballs.  Your chances increase with them.

I know it's no big deal but to me, I am so happy that I caught my first Articuno, which I told my pogo friends that I will happily retire from the game when that is accomplished. Not that I'm not playing any more but I can take a back seat with whatever that is happening thereafter :)

Precisely, its like they design the game to be played on an iPhone 10, a lot of the graphics and animations are nice but really not that necessary, as much as that can contribute to a pleasant overall experience, itself crashing the game multiple times makes a worse and frustrating gameplay. Seems like their servers are also struggling with the load, and they can't even plan events properly, ownself smack ownself.

 

Also 他妈的! keep getting all 2 and 5k eggs for the past 2 months, today hatch 3 Nidoran and 3 Ponyta consecutively ... :swear:

Is he hitting every ball or just that unlucky?? D: Good luck to him on the next one, perseverance!!

If he is missing / wasting balls, then he need to have more patience during the catching phase

IKR!  I read somewhere that one of the first lvl40 in Sg got 15 Articunos.  So unfair.
Then again many of those who show off 100 Pes A Tyranitars or 500 Lapras, pretty obvious what they do.....  :whistle:

 

 

Have a happy day folks.  I'm kinda semi-retired from catching now.  Am sticking to early morning gym parking to restock my coins and to evict the known Red/Yellow spoofers in my area.

So fun, fourth consecutive Ponyta... :swear:

 

But finally caught a pes A Loogi with fourth ball also, no great, no excellent throw, just a golden razzie and hit the outer most ring cos my finger slipped... :blink:

 

So, apparently they have increased the catch rate by a teensy weensy bit for the 3 birds, so it'll be a teensy weensy bit easier to catch, by like, 0.01.

:( Good luck to his next raid then! If its yours, its yours haha. My Lugia ran away even when I had 11 ball, caught another with only 5

 

 

BTW, anyone staying at the east want to raid this two days for more articunos or Lugias?

Yeah was making the most of it, evolving and catching! Interestingly, some evolves resulted in pokes with legacy moves which are supposed to have been phased out. Curious...
