I did three Moltres raids yesterday. My first ran but I got the other two. A lot of people in our second group caught it. I'm glad I didn't watch any of the YouTuber's videos first, because all the guys I watch had a terrible time hitting Moltres, and that would have made me nervous. I think I landed every ball, although some of them weren't fantastic throws. A lot of people are using the trick where you hold your finger on the pokeball until the circle gets to where you want it, then take your finger away, and the circle will stay the same until you re-engage and start spinning. If you do that during the attack animation (when the circle doesn't show or change size) and release the ball just as the animation is ending, you hit the Pokemon with the circle size you pre-determined. I haven't tried it because I'm too scared of accidentally deploying my ball.
Practice on non Legendaries. :-)
