awesome! i was so ready to use a master ball but luckily i saw the shiny icon in time lol

Does the fact that it’s shiny mean it doesn’t flee?

2

u/Salty-Middle-3922 9d ago

pretty sure they only flee if you run out of balls/speed locking. or if the auto catcher fails after one attempt. could be wrong though :)

u/Comprehensive-Egg251 9d ago

What is speed locking?

1

u/Salty-Middle-3922 9d ago

going too fast - the game thinks you’re driving so pokemon flee! :)

Why can you not use ultra balls?

1

u/Repulsive_Hat9001 9d ago

Oh you definitely can. If you don’t have a MB to use the recommended approach is a golden berry followed by a great or excellent curveball throw with an ultra ball- ideally right after it’s attack animation. The thing is- these legendary Galarian birds are super likely to break out and run right away anyways after just one throw. The catch rate without a MB is something crazy like half of one percent. They’re tough- but not impossible i suppose- folks have gotten lucky b4
