I guess the odds are better from higher tier raids but you can get TMs from any raid. Ironically the two tier 2 raids I've completed both gave me TMs but the tier 4 one did not.

8 people showed up for a Level 4 Snorlax raid yesterday. Today nobody showed up for a Level 4 Charizard raid at the same park. This is the flaw of the whole system.

What is the benefit of a spoofer giving their own Pokémon berries? In theory, can't you reach your cap of 50 coins in half an hour if you have enough gyms? There is no point to keep them in the gyms anymore

I've gone to four different four star raids, so far the only one where people left was when it ended up being a Venusaur. People were willing to use their passes on Lapras and Tyranitar. Once the novelty wears off I'll be glad if GPS spoofers join the fights with me though, I don't really give a poo poo at that point if they're using their army of beefy 100% pokemon they sniped from Hong Kong to carry me.

I don't think spoofers have a problem finding top tier, high IV Pokemon, which is what non-cheating people are aiming to get hopefully through hatching eggs and buying incubators to hatch more eggs and needing coins to buy more. It's just amusing and ego-stroking for them to kick out everyone at their whim and feel like a god or something. The only exception is if maybe there's some kind of account-selling, gold-farming thing going on but I don't know if that's a thing anymore or how lucrative that even is now to put the time and effort to farm the new gym system.

I understand why they do it, but raids being 9-9 is really unfortunate for me. I work 6 days a week and my friends and I usually don't start playing until later at night. Guess we're gonna have to start going out earlier.

Pretty sure it's not possible to hold a gym past 36 hours in King County unless you've got a 15/15/15 3300+ mon. It's brutal out there. Also the shitload of Vaporeons running around are problematic for Golems.

Every gym near me just went red and every trainer is either a variation on one name or something like "NoGymsForYou." I was wondering where they all went, I guess the spoofing applications must have finally caught up.

Then more showed up. Then of course came the issue with not everyone using the same password to be in the same group, the game glitching, etc. I was somehow 'in' even when my game crashed and I had to restart, so when I started picking my mon for the battle, it said I had won. Then I got 5 white balls, none of which did poo poo. Out of the 15 or so people there, only one person managed to catch him. Then came the Facebook gripes, because this was all put on Facebook, and people getting pissed that the 15 group didn't wait for them, that they tried to battle alone, etc. So later that night I knocked out a Muk raid myself because gently caress it, I wanted some goodies! No TM yet but plenty of rainbow candies.

As we were trying to catch it after taking it down, another 7 arrived Had a raid in my hometown yesterday - popped up while my daughter and I were walking the lake. We saw it was a 4 star Tyranitar and went rushing over. There were at least 30 people standing and waiting for the raid to start, and another 10-15 parked in cars along the street. We were able to take it down on the 2nd try with 6 people and I captured the bastard on my 9th and final white ball!! Down to just Unown and Ampharos for my NA dex to be complete!

That is the downside, people chiming in that they are coming, and you have no idea because gently caress restarting unless you have to! 4 10ks yesterday. 2 Pinecos, 1 Dratini, and 1 Larvitar. I count that as a great hatch. Plus 4 garbage 5ks and a Phanpy.

I still haven't gotten a muk or weezing yet, so those are great for me. I saw someone on reddit caught a shiny magikarp, so I'd be willing to dump a free raid pass during the week on one if nobody's around.

You get a coin every 10 minutes and there's a cap of 50 coins a day, right? So if I'm three gyms I just need to hold them for three hours. Easy enough.

If I put a 'mon in a gym and it goes for; say, 46 hours before being sent back to me, and it's the only one I have in a gym, do I get 100 coins for doing 50 x 2 days, or so I get 50 since it didn't come back to me in the first 24 hour period, and those coins are lost?

I think you lose them, pretty sure it's making a max of 50 a day. I had two pokémon that were both in a gym for a really similar amount of time, but one gave 38 and one gave 12. Seems like the extra coins just go away.

Given one single fast move TM, what's your priority? I could give my bite/ hydro Gary dragon tail, or I could give my bullet/ submission Machamp Counter. I can't really think of anybody else who's a priority.

If it's a really good one then you can expect people to arrive within the first 15 minutes, but again it depends on the location. Anyway, you say you "shouldn't have to" organize with a group, why do you say that?

Machamp is the best attacker vs 3 of the big 6 defenders and best attacker vs 3 of the 7? level 4 raid bosses. They're insanely valuable and I want 6 of them instead of the one double steel move guy I have.
