Just caught... 5 ultras + razz then got it with critical hit.

Im happy.

Congrats! Me whole event didn't even see a single rare mons other than one sad low IV Lapras on day one 😓

It cost 77,500 dust and 68 candies to level up raid/hatches to level 30.

135,000 dust and 163 candies to level up level 30 mons to max level 39.

So which is better... Quality or quantity?

Another day another fleeing ttar. This is becoming stupid

One picture better than thousands words! 
After my fled Ttar + Lapras on last Saturday, I am starting to feel reluctant to raid especially on paid pass.
Not to mentioned I keep encountered Lvl 3 raids which has no people despite me wishful thinking "maybe" people might be fighting.

:confused:   

I have 6 but not maxed out. Ranging from 2.3k to 2.5k.
Maxed out 1 ttar , pumping the 2nd. Both 97% with bi se.

Opinion required... IT/Cr... previously park at gyms... should convert to Bi/Cr?

I tried out 6 Machamps today vs Ttar raid boss... no dodging at all. Just spam... the damage rating only "1" ... very disappointed. Previously using vapes, machamp n D9 can get higher damage rating. Wonder if its purely due to # of ppl.

My current favorite gym attacker is Tyranitar.

Reason being, a typical gym in my area normally consist a combination of :

Blissey
Snorlax
Dragonite
Tyranitar
Exeggutor
Lapras
Gyarados
Vaporeon
Rhydon.

In most fights, most damage to the attacker will be dealt by Blissey and Snorlax due to the longer time it takes to battle them.

Tyranitar resist Blissey's common zen headbutt and all of snorlax fast moves so have to just watch and dodge the charge moves.

As for Lapras and Vaporeons, water gun has been nerfed so just have to watch out for Hydropump.

So 90% of the time, a 3.5K Tyranitar with Bite/Stone edge will tank through first round of 6 full motivation defenders with half health remaining and provided nobody is feeding berries, its enough to take down the remaining 2 rounds as well provided the defenders are not full powered monsters.

Guys, need a FRESH perspective.... what *would you use TM's on - mon + ms?

Yesterday was a good day. I finally caught a 2097 tyra raid boss!!! After a 2092 and few 208x ran on me since day 1.

- If all 6 die towards end of the match, probably your team mates can make it without you. Rejoining the battle resets all your damage points = less premier balls.    You still get to battle raid boss if they defeat raid boss.

For sure the scene would be around until zapdos.

For sure it brought back lots of trainers who had been off the game. At least the social aspect part was good.. now i've met most of the valorians in my home and work area. At least those familiar nicks.. also the gossips on which nicks are spoofers.

I do miss hunting though.

On another note.. worth to push golem pass lvl30? Or focus on ttar?
Im still walking larvitar.

You stopped at 31.5 or went further?

Personally, my concern is golem's hp. Although it resists moltres moves, due to low hp the charge move might still one shot kill golem by pure impact from raid boss's charge move. Level 30 golem hp ard 120 vs level 30 vape hp ard 200.

I'm slowing powering up highest iv 1 golem to 2.7k. And test it out against moltres together with vapes. It worth it then can pump further. So for starters, still 3 ttar, 2 vapes, 1 golem.

* I only have 3 ttar with stone edge which I've maxed to current trainer level. Unless I want to roll dice to change crunch ttar (would you?).

My case is that it happens to one particular gym only.

But i havent updated the app yet la
Im not worried about moltres. Its more for zapdos.

So the desirable level for Golem is 31.5? 

My 3 ekor all lvl 30 nia.... 

The same birding lineup lor apa lagi.

Yup. Almost there.
2x tyranitar lev 38.5 B/SE
2x golem lev 32 RT/SE
1x golem lev 32 RT/AP
1x tyranitar lev 30 B/SE (most likely I replace with my blissey or other option like omaster, and test out other mon)

Did a test with moltres, most of the time only need 3 mon to finish the boss if you got 10 and above trainers. Line up golem first will give 3 premier ball (max damage), line up ttar first will give 2 premier ball.

Significantly lower attack stats and less bulky than golem let alone ttar.

Thereabout...
