Confirming MewTwo's Catch Rate
Has it been confirmed that MewTwo's base catch rate is still 6% now that it is available as a regular legendary raid boss? Many people in my area are reporting that it is taking more throws on average to catch than it did when it was an EX boss.

Anecdotally speaking, many people I raided with over the weekend have had records around 0/3 on catching it since mass release. In game, feeding it a GRB doesn't seem to affect the catch circle color anymore where before it would become noticeably lighter. TSR doesn't have a confirmed value, but is reporting it to be lower.
My guess is it's been lowered to either 2% like most legendaries or 3% like the bird trio. Personally I still have yet to have one flee on me but I know many people have had perfect catch streaks broken pretty horrendously.
Not certain about the catch rate either, but I did 3 Mewtwo raids on community day, and all of them were super easy catches with curveball nice/great throws and a GRB. No more than 3 or 4 balls to catch.
My boyfriend was with me on all 3 raids and was able to catch them all 3 times without much difficulty as well.
I've done two.
One I caught on the first throw with a golden razz and a small great circle.
Second I caught on my last ball out of 16 (I think?) all golden razz, two misses, a few hits outside the circle, But mostly great and excellent throws.
Either of those two could be outliers, but enough people have been claiming a lower catch rate that I believe it.
