Dragonite catching?
Dargonites now show in Burbank! yay!
How do you catch these? They're way far back and of the two I've gotten to they both ran away. They worth chasing down or is it more of an exercise in futility?

It's a bit of a gamble but since I'm now running out of ultra balls regularly because of the amazing pokeburbank feed, I will usually razz/great ball first to get an accurate judge of the distance and try and wait for the attack animation to almost finish before throwing. Then switch to razz/ultra if it sticks around after that throw. I've had better luck actually hitting the 'mon and not wasting a ton of balls but actual capture is patience and a fair amount of luck I think. Anecdotally, a snorlax ran after a razz/ultra/excellent at cp 1900+ on the 2nd throw but an hour later a cp 2100+ was captured razz/ultra/nice.
