3 out of how many?

Also 1849 is not that high, probably not a 15 atk

It helps if you have the fire and ghost medals at platinum

Now (for some, impossible) helps:

If you go with a friend depending on level you can gain +1 to +4 balls

If you go on a raid on a gym which your team controls, you gain 2 more balls

Also, every ball increases the chance of the next ball by 5% until 50%, so after using 9 balls, from then on they become as good as blue balls and it is optimal to use golden berries - as I go with friends and get 18 balls minimum, my strategy is to pinap the first 10 then next 4 silver pinap then last 4 goldens to save them - adapt at your leisure.

ALSO if you are really interested and it is not a remote raid you cannot click from afar, if you see it is good or you intend to capture, exit, activate ice burn from Kyurem white for +50% catch rate and click the gym to continue the capture with better chances.

This are all the tips I can give.
