What This Means for Trainers
Sadly, this glitch appears to have been around for weeks, meaning that players have been wasting their time on their last throws. Players have functionally had one less attempt at catching Legendary Pokemon and other Raid Bosses without even knowing it.
Now that Pokemon Go has confirmed the glitch's existence, players shouldn't waste Golden Razz Berries when they only have one Premier Ball left. Razz Berries don't affect your chances of getting a Critical Catch, which appears to be a player's only chance of getting a catch with their last Premier Ball.
Luckily, it looks like Pokemon Go is working on a fix. One of Niantic's customer service representatives confirmed on Reddit that they were working on a fix for both the "last ball glitch" and a bug that incorrectly withholds bonuses when a player's team controls a raid during a Raid.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Pokemon Go will provide any sort of compensation for players affected by the glitch, since the glitch messed with all players equally. While infuriating and frustrating, the glitch didn't give any player a competitive advantage.
