Does it matter which pokeball you use in a max raid battle?
Since the games came out and people started doing max raid battles I heard some people say that it doesn’t matter which pokeball you throw at a dynamaxed Pokemon since the catch rates of any pokeball turns the same while others say it does still matter which pokeball you throw. For myself I also had moments where I couldn’t catch a Pokemon in a ultra ball but after a soft reset a pokeball was enough. maybe it’s just luck but it does make me think. Are they right that it doens’t matter which pokeball you throw or is it just a made up story?
If anyone knows please answer.

It depends on the kind of raid you’re doing. If you’re solo’ing a raid(that isn’t promotional, like GMax Drednaw/Corviknight or Delibird) then you will have a 100% chance of catching the mon. If you are doing a promotional raid like Delibird, then the Pokemon with have it’s base species catch rate(like if you’re doing a promotional Delibird raid, then that Delibird will have the same catch rate as a Delibird you would find in the wild) GMax Pokemon in promotional GMax raids have around a base 15 catch rate if you’re either hosting it or solo’ing it. Guests are different however, and I’ll leave this video explaining pretty much what I just said and the guest ratesVideoSo, in short, it doesn’t matter which ball you use if you have a 100% catch rate on the Pokemon
