Now that they have reduced the trainer levels needed to join the gym raid, I'm back in the game. Took down a Jolteon boss last night. :-)

Guys, i have 2 questions:

1. I'm not that experienced in gym raids, but based on 1 ttar and chatting with other trainers, there are certain instances where raid bosses think they are gummy bears or high on razz juice, and continuously bounce. Even golden razz doesn't do the trick. One fella i met raided 3 ttar and caught 0. Any of you guys feed nanab berry or have any tips for this? Personally, i just switch razz, golden, razz.

2. I find that raids are slowly dying off. Everyone just wants to get that ttar. Level 1-2 are mainly when you are away and just want to use your raid pass for the day / yesterday and collect a new one. Level 3 is when you are bored, no mates and no good level 4 is available. Level 4, i feel people are waiting for that ttar. Last night around 8.30 pm a snorlax boss hatched near my house. Not a single soul....

The whole update and raid specifically was meant for lower, newer and casual players to catch up.

It's not like you're lacking lvl 20 venusaurs, blastoise, charizard and even snorlax.

Ttar on the other hand are relatively new and rare so there's still folks who (like myself) haven't got 20 yet.

The flaw in this design is:
1) For level 4, need a lot of players to raid (esp for trainer level 20-25) which is hard and most players are ald level 30+
2) The enticement of raids is to be entitled for legendary raid pass (however true this is).

For me, i don't really need the raid boss just want the items and experience. My luck with raid items really suck. Whether solo or even dealing equal if not more damage than rest that are raiding i haven't received a single TM. Can you believe it? LOL.... Not that i really need it, but it would be nice to receive one.

a little disappointment is that after raiding lvl 4 gym but no TM. I need those fast and charge TM. other items are not so fun.

Same here. 3 raids with no tm

Got an issue here.....my pokemon returned and got 1 coin but it wont credit it to my account Anyone facing this issue?

Time delay perhaps? Did it went in now?

if not how to get coin la
even sometimes park ady no feed also wont come back
i have to go whack my own gym just for the coins

actually i dont like they keep on lowering the lvl needed for raid
the other joined a tyra raid with more then half of the raiders are between lvl 21-25 and most of them are kids. the mons that they are using, damn i feel like slapping them loool
they use god damn pidgey!!! dafuq??? and some non attacker end up that round we lose and waste my time and potions
niantic should keep it atleast lvl30. even they dont know how to play raid still got high cp can help on dps

well mostly we(they) after lapras/tyra and maybe machamp(coz raid boss weakness) the rest we all ady have it
and we all think tyra drop more item haha
till date i only raid venusaur(1st raid dont know what to pick) and the rest are all tyra 3/4 times

and yes tyra so bodo one, i only caught 1 out 3

Agree.. Niantic should've kept it at lvl 30.

But if they do... what else the kids are gonna play beside catching pidgeys?

They get locked out of gyms regardless of what update Niantic makes.

yes i know that but if u see it the other way thats also a target for them
if they wanna raid then keep grinding. tbh even play casually lvl 30 is not that hard to reach

simple trial would be to cap level 4 raids to tl 30 and above. And when you select Mon has to have min cp . Just saying...

After the long weekend, all my mons back...

So fast. I silver also havent get yet.

this also not bad

i wonder does it only register when my come back

it updates from time to time, but there is some lag time.
Now to work on one or two gold badge. Need to hold same gym for another 16 days (total time)... Dang!!!!

today keep kena gps drift, stand beside gym, can go in select pokemon for battle, but cant start battle.

Guy how much would I earn in this situation?

I put 2 pokemons in gyms yesterday 28/6/17. 1 came back yesterday at 28/6/17 with 30 gold coins. The other Pokémon haven't returned yet and it is already 29/6/17 now, how much would I get from this unreturned Pokémon?
