Rare candy drop rate?
What is the rare candy drop rate these days? I've done 9 Ho-oh raids so far and have only received 6 rare candies. I understand they are called "rare" candy but this seems a bit extreme, especially since they are pretty much the only way to power up legendary pokemon. Just curious how everybody else was doing with them?

Now that you mention it, I have noticed more TM's dropping as well. I suppose that's not the worst change they could have made.I also never thought I would say this but I miss getting loads of potions from stops. I have about 30 dead Pokemon and no way of healing them and it's made me not want to attack gyms.
Considering the fact that I've probably gotten as many RCs as TMs over the past 10 raids or so, I'd say the balance is still off. One RC is not as powerful as one TM, so they shouldn't be given out at a roughly 1:1 rate.
Regarding the potion drought, it's unfortunate that they're so rare now. I personally still have an overabundance of them, but if they made attacking gyms more interesting/profitable, I'd probably start to run low too. Gyms do tend to drop potions more frequently than regular stops, so I would recommend doing your first spin of the day at gyms if you can.
RCs yes a little drop, and I agree more TMs which I was already swimming in, and I did go from around 200 max revives to now around 160 in a few days because those and regular revives are dropping a LOT less. I never had to worry about revives before (in fact occasionally threw them out to make room).
Not saying they didn't but in Sept when we had Raikou I got 4 ctms in ONE raid. Luck happens. I personally have been getting FTMs about half of raids, a noticeable number of rare candy in 75-80%, infrequent ctms. I'm putting new RC to Articuno just to get my best one to 30, not that much else I "need" it for
