New raid rewards

I just did a higher level raid. We got potions (quite a few each) but also seemed to get less rare candy. I'm wondering what others are seeing or have seen?

I got the usual today but this sounds like bad news

I did some later raids but this only happened on the last one; about 7:15 EST

It's 2 am here in The Netherlands right now, so I am curious on what we can expect this morning. Can't wait on 30 revives and 10 potions during my next raid!

Now that you mention it I noticed fewer rare candy today from raids. I did a Zapdos, and two Tyranitars. I didn't get any potions but 9 rare candy among three raids is pretty low. That would be very disappointing if they lowered rare candy from raids and added potions. It takes like 248 rare candy to max one legendary Pokemon from level 20.

Can confirm, +8 Super Potions, +1 FTM, +4 Rare Candies, +5 Revives from a 4-Star & +3 Hyper Potions, +10 Super Potions, +8 Rare Candies, +3 Gold Razz, +5 Revives from a 5-Star tonight.

Can add: No potions during earlier 5-Star today.

That's good news. Those numbers of rare candy seem to be in line with normal. Maybe our group just had a bad run for them. I will be thrilled if these are added with less revives. I will be less than thrilled if we are sacrificing rare candy for them.

I have noticed I've been getting way more fast TM's compared to charge TM's recently and less revives then usual but maybe it's just rng who knows niantic doesn't tell us much. I'll check out what raid rewards I get tm from raids and post results if anything is out of the ordinary.

I did my tier 4 and 5 raid much earlier, not that much candy 3 and 6, but 2 charges and a fast. More expected that they do this rather than raise the rewards for lower tiers. They were proverbially getting screwed on all ends: the creatures, the rewards, and finding people to help them beat a 3

Yep last 2 Raids gave me some potions. Didn't get to get a screenshot on the first one cause I wasn't expecting it. Here's what I got on the following one.

I did a Moltres at about 7:20 EST and got 6 golden razz, 9 hyper potions, and 6 super potions. I didnt get any rare candy or TMs, and I'm rather annoyed by it. Potions are nice, but rare candy is more important to me.

Bad news. I already have 300 max potions and 300 max revives. It takes only one to two max revives to take a whole gym. I do not want to throw them away.

If i do my free one raid per day, i do not need these extra potions. Less rare candies hurt.

The new reward seems to adress to those Pokemon-drive-players, who do 10 and more raids per day and don't restock their ressources inbetween. They have sufficient rare candies.

It is understandable, that niantic supports their costumers. That is not me, i am a (mostly) free player.
