Crown Tundra Lair legendaries - missed shiny question

[Dark_Ansem]

so, I've been reading that if you end up capturing your CT Lair legendary in its non-shiny state, if you release it and re-attempt the lair, it will re-appear and you have a second chance. How realistic is that being true and not a stupid troll post?

if you don't keep it, the flag that you caught it isn't set.
Meaning you can go for it again.

It's not that the shiny chances get better, it's that you have another chance to roll for it.

Not keeping it ok - but what if you release one after catching it.

 

Namely, I want to release my caught Suicune who isn't shiny. Can I get another chance?

Once you leave the raid with the legendary that you caught, you can no longer catch it again.   So no, sadly you can no longer shiny hunt the suicune.
