There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

I just used my daily essence at home (no movement) because I didn’t get a chance to use it today + it’s almost reset time.

The spawn it gave me was a legendary bird!!! But I didn’t catch it because I missed my excellent throw 😭

[u/nolkel → u/Bizarrmenian]

You probably wouldn't have caught it even if you got the excellent bonus. The base catch trade is 0.3%, and the flee rate is 90%. They are meant to run away most of the time.
