Clearer explanation about the new system

Send them to the professor to make burgers

But seriously... I'll hang on to it for a while first since we still won't know the speed of decay vs CP.

Premier ball

Damn.. it takes a lot of berries to fill the motivation meter

Guess wat....

Now you can buy max revives, max potions and further increase bag/pkm storage to 1500

In summary... this update despite the bling new look and all... is quite boring.

- Decays too fast. defenders not challenging... just one big Ttar/D9 more or less clean sweep the whole lineup at least 1.5x if dodge. Takes waaaaay less resources to take down gym.

- Raids not out yet but regular gym doesn't encourage building strong mons since don't need strong ones to attack and all defenders become equally rubbish.

- Not rewarding. Battled whole morning for 2 coins. Previously blur blur also at least 10 coins.

- Encourages spoofing.

- The bugs but this will eventually be ironed out.

What I do like:

- Entering the battle... it showed my DB/DC D9 had won 600+ battles. 

- Bling

How to collect coins? It will automatically collect when the gym is down?

I noticed that if return within 1 hour, no notification.

Answering my own question and share just in case interested.

Based on current survey, the current drop rate for TM's per Raid tier are as follows

Tier 1 Raids
0 TM  - 89%
1 TM  - 9%
2+TM - 1%

Tier 2 Raids
0 TM  - 86%
1 TM  - 13%
2+TM - 1%

Tier 3 Raids
0 TM  - 60%
1 TM  - 30%
2+TM - 10%

Tier 4 Raids
0 TM  - 36%
1 TM  - 35%
2+TM - 29%

Bare minimum 3 imo.

Tyranitars are great as gym wall breakers to save potions. Having more of them also means can battle immediately without having to heal first which in the meantime, folks can insert additional defenders.

Also legendaries gonna be a thing. I have a number of lvl 30 Golems la but I reckon it'll be more bang for buck to power Ttar instead.

Lastly, it won't be long between the gym raid crowd thins out. Heck my last 2 raids were already solo.

Both my current one is b/se.

Right now busy w machamp. Finish this first (almost done) then proceed to ttar plan.

Tahu-kah anda.. lvl39 vape hp output against ttar is only roughly  half that of lvl machamp c/dp and c/cc.

Vape more or less = D9 on ttar

If you're gonna just leave it at lvl30 then why not.

While it probably won't make much tangible difference in actual battle but you sure you wanna pump dust into a 12attk pokemon?

Feels like not here not there.

Anyway, I'm done with Machamps di. Still gonna raid Machamp gyms for the candies lar.... but no more spending dust on it.

ps: Did you guys notice interesting spawns have gone down very significantly since raids started?

Just 1 DP and 1 CC powered up. Against raid boss ttar.. DP does more damage and charge faster since its 2 bar. But confirmed kena hit right after DP is release. CC can immediately dodge.

At the moment, every ttar raid ive been are packed with raiders even if i enter with 4 mins left so hardly need more than 2 attacker.

If you already have DP and CC, why would you want to risk and change it? You might end up get HS. Just saying....

Yeah, if theres enough raiders, i try to figure the timing cos i hate kena one-shot kill.

Over weekend, was chatting with one guy who was constantly raiding. He got more than 10 Fast TM and 10 Charge TM. He tried to change his 100% legacy D9 with DB/DP's charge move with us present. First try, got HB. Then Hu, then HB, then Hu... only fifth TM got OR. Damn... The least Niantic could allow some sort of cache memory that doesn't repeat the move. E.g. for D9.. u will only have to use max 3 TM (even this if not fair, since we can't choose), but its better than getting repetitive changes.

Already have 6 lvl 30 thereabout golems and rhydons each so i think im covered there.

Dont have yellow flash wut. Thats why have to time.

Saving it for legendaries...
+1

I always keep one premium pass with me all the time.

If I feel like it, I will us it.

Just yesterday, I used one to solo an electabuzz since I was bored waiting for my colleague.

Tbh, if you were in msia, I would buy u a pass to test out.
Lol.. But if you do try out, pls let me know the lineup, cp, ms that was used. Tq.

wahhh, your tytr super high lvl ahh.
what's the IV?

the gift box is so expensive...

I need at least 20 days to get 1000 coins....

wah ... you got so many candies to power up 3 Tyranitar??

Feels the same for me.. Just my ttar jumps like he's high on something.
