Hello @BlazzlN,

 

I am sorry for the inconvenience. It seems like you lost the first chance to capture Zapdos during a crash, no worries though!

 

Nikola now allows you to re-summon each legendary once. You need to beat him and it summons the legendary you want to battle and catch.

Bear in mind that he will only restore the legendary this way once, whether or not you manage to capture it.

Use this guide if you want to know how to reach Nikola: Trainers Valley Guide.

 

Please make sure to not kill it again, since you won't have a chance to catch it if that happens.

 

I hope I answered your question and I wish you good luck with capturing your Zapdos!

Have a good day!

 

Kind regards, Contrary

i didn't kill it though, i dc'd and spawned in a pokecenter :(

so i have to do a boss, which has a cooldown because of lag?

well i lost the boss battle to a crit, i guess i have to wait 3 weeks to try again.... ALL OVER LAG WTF!

Hey @BlazzlN,

You described it as 'you disconnected' and not like a log. But yes, once you disconnect against a legendary and the Poke doesn't respawn anymore, the only way to catch him is through beating Nikola. I am sorry you have to experience this, but sadly sometimes we have server issues.

I am sorry to hear this, crits are a part of the game and do happen sadly.

The cooldown for the boss is indeed 3 weeks, unfortunately we can't change this.

 

If I can answer any other question of you, do ask please.

Have a good day!

 

Kind regards, Contrary
