A few days ago, while wandering around downtown, I find a Charizard hanging around a pokéstop. Since I don’t have a charizard yet, I decide to try to catch it.
Since the CP was over 1000, I decided to use ultra balls and razzberries. This Charizard was very stubborn. It escaped its ball 32 times.
Every ultra ball I threw was a curve-ball. Around half of them were great, one or two of them were nice, and the rest just hit it without any bonus.
When I reached my last ultra ball, I threw a curve-ball and hit it with a great. Finally caught it! I was so happy…
I started spinning pokéstops to try and get my ultra balls back.
I get one ultra ball out of a pokéstop.
Around 15 minutes later, a Magmar appears. I still only have one ultra ball. I think to myself oh no. I don’t have many ultra-balls! What do I do?
I use a razzberry and use my only ultra ball. I throw a curve ball and hit it with a great.
Oh no.
It comes out of its pokéball.
I switch to great balls, which I have 89 of, and by accident I click the normal pokéballs and have the spinning pokéball in my hands.
I panic.
I was certain I was gonna lose this Magmar.
I throw and hit the Magmar without any bonus other than the curve ball bonus.
I catch it.
I go: What! How did I catch that 1438 Magmar with a razzberry and a pokéball but I can’t catch a Charizard with razzberries and ultra-balls???
I was happy that I got a Magmar and a Charizard, but sad that I had to waste so many ultra balls catching that Charizard.
