Nice!! Im in PJ too.

stingynya

1coin for every 10 mins....

Previously was 1 coin for 1 hour

Team contributes a certain amount, but i tot trainer's individual damage contribution also translates into premier balls reward no? Personally, if a lot of ppl gangbang no problem, but if few are just tanking, then got issue. I kena yesterday once, first round 8 ppl ttar, filled with blissey, snorlax and D9... im dodging and attacking but timed out. Used third mon. Revived and went in 2nd round, 6 ppl.. filled vapes and D9, subsequently machamps, vapes, D9... took it out with 50 secs remaining. The group matters... LOL


That's why you need 6x Ttar... LOL


There are 4 so-called gym levels you can achieve. When you spin the gym stop, you get awarded a gym badge. This is at basic level (Picture #3 - right). After you earn 500xp for that gym (e.g. defending, feeding berry, spin stop, defeating another team's mon in the same gym, RAID) you get upgraded to a bronze badge (Picture #2 - middle). Then When you earn up to 4000xp you get upgraded to silver (Picture #1 - left) and when you hit 30,000xp upgraded to gold (Err... i dont have yet). Based on what i've experienced, silver badge earns around 5-6 items (5 probably if your team isn't controlling).

This is how you earn:

Bronze Additional XP 500 XP Total XP 500 XP
Silver Additional XP 3500 XP Total XP 4000 XP
Gold Additional XP 26,000 XP Total XP 30,000 XP

1) Adding Pokémon to the Gym (+ 100 Badge XP)
2) Holding a creature at the Gym (+1 Badge XP per minute)
3) Defeating a defending Pokémon (CP of Pokémon defeated divided by 10)
4) Winning a Raid battle (+ 1000 Badge XP)
5) Giving Berries to Pokémon held at the Gym (+ 10 Badge XP, as well as 20 Stardust and a possibility of Candy)

* So, in conclusion, to level up a gym badge from basic to bronze to silver to gold is similar like levelling up your TL from Level 28 to 30 to 33... the grind gets harder and takes longer. Hope this helps.

** Btw, if you purely put a mon in an empty gym and don't feed it a berry, it would need to stay there for 20 days for you to earn a gold badge... just saying... LOL

I'm not sure of the exact mechanics but there was once I raided a gym and was the only valorian there. That's the only time I didn't get 11x premier balkls.

He somehow fail to grasp the concept of attack stats. Even murkrow has higher attack stats than umbreon

Dark type Attk/Def/Sta compared

Ttar - 251/212/200
Houndoom 224/159/150
Umbreon 126/250/190
Murkrow 175/87/120

thanks for the detailed explanation, i get it now.

anyway, i feel that this -> Defeating a defending Pokémon (CP of Pokémon defeated divided by 10) isnt accurate, because i see the gym xp only increase about 10-20 each time.

Frankly speaking, I'm collecting as many ttar possible, especially with bite/coco crunch. I don't want to left standing there powering up a murkrow when mew is the raid boss.

HI guys, just got my first experience raiding a snorlax gym boss. me lvl 30 with pokemons like d9,rhydon,gyrados,exxeg,lapras and typholsion still cannot take down it eventhough was paired up with another level 33 guy. Still hunting my first snorlax tho...any advice?was pouting and frowning all night because of this..

To take down fatty you need minimum 6 trainers with either type effective or high DPS mons. 2 persons are not possible, you are waiting your resources and time. Ideally 8-10 trainers are more safe.

Tbh, i also was doubting this. However, it is possible that the XP you get after defeating a mon (i.e. the 10-20 amount shown on screen) is going to your trainer xp. When they calculate gym xp, COULD be different... just saying.

First problem is your lineup, second and more important problem is the number of ppl in the raid.
To comfortably defeat snorlax, you need min 6-7 ppl with good, strong and matched up lineups.

you need at least 7 players that have machamps. vaporeon and rhyhon to beat snorlax. 2 ppl can beat then no need so hard to find players already.

I can't find any definite info on the awarding of premier balls. But based on this screenshot (not mine), individual damage does contribute. The lowest i got was 9, and it was because i entered the battle late, gave me 30 secs to choose mon (quickly select some D9 and 1 vape) ... crazy lag when wanna select...

Sorry bro but that's bad advice.

Vaporeon's water gun was nerfed thats why its rubbish now in the meta

Now its really like water pistol doing only 14dps.

In comparison..

Tyranitar's Bite does 20dps and Dragonite's Dragon Tail does almost 23dps.

That's why now, even against fire types.... rock/ground types are preferred over Vaporeon.

Against Snorlax, Tyranitar is the best choice not just bcos attack and tankiness but also cos Lick only does 0.7 damage and it resist Zen Headbutt (half damage)

My anti-snorlax line up is to place Tyranitars upfront, followed by D/Or Dragonites and last slot or 2 with Machamps since while they do a lot of damage, they are squishy ie waste potion)

so far i haven't raid tyrabank yet. my best raid are snorlax and 2 rhydon only

But Im talking about raiding Snorlax.

Against Snorlax not advisable to use vaporeon in raid. You can use for fun to battle snorlax in gym... but not raid.
Better use Ttar, D9, Machamp .. these 3 have high DPS and Machamp is also SE against snorlax. The other fighting type are taufu... cannot use to raid (maybe Poliwrath if desperate, but i wouldn't risk it).... LOL.

damn tyra so hard to catch alwas ran away

Yesterday and today raid 4x lev 4 gym. Getting 0 TM. Am I bad luck or this is the norm?

Happened to my Lapras raid yday. 8ppl, 5 mystic, 2 instinct, me alone valor

Yeah man... fought 6, caught 4. all < 86% iv.... going to trash them soon.

Very random... all RNG dependent.

i think i have done 9 raids so far.
1 level 2, 1 level 3, 7 level 4 (1 charizard, the rest ttar).
The first 6, i didn't receive a single TM (fast & charged). But the last 3 received 6 (coincidently, all were Ttar)
Similarly, the last 2 raids, not a single golden razz.

Have you hit > 30 raids ald? LOL....


sniper on the roof i've noticed an increasingly alarming trend. if you enter the lobby and wait, say there around 8 players, you happily select mon and get ready for battle. When you enter gym, almost half will pull out. All waiting for more than 10 players to battle. Today battled a ttar, from 8 dropped to 4 then before start drop to 2. I pulled out and re-entered with 12 players - freakin seeing 2 gyarados in there. But quite happy that i saw another 2 machamps, 1 heracross, 2 vapes , 2 D9s simultaneously battling together.

On another note, they should seriously fix the lag when choosing mons. If you enter with < 50 secs, impossible to select all 6, especially in covered places.
