The first two Legendary Pokémon are finally available within Pokémon Go… but Trainers are having difficulty capturing them.
The two Legendary Pokémon, Lugia and Articuno, can be captured by completing a Raid event with either prize. The problem is, you’re going to need a group of other Trainers (and a Gym with the Raid event itself) to pull off the feat.
Additionally, the introduction of the two new Legendary Pokémon came at a time that the mobile game was plagued with network issues — those that actually managed to band together to deal tremendous damage were usually met with a connectivity problem before the capture could take place.
Legendary raids are very frustrating; 4 Articuno raids and 4 Lugia raids completed. Caught precisely 0 of them. Fml. #PokemonGO pic.twitter.com/HVNSeo9Dyt

Totally lost 😭😢😣 Lugia is really hard to defeat. Especially when there's no other players in the area. #Lugia is super hard! @PokemonGoApp pic.twitter.com/BX4xCG24FD
