A.... a- a berry?

Try using your most powerful pokemon and defeat a raid boss. After the raid you can easily bring them back to health.

Depending on where you live and your availability during the day, finding a raid boss that you can beat is the hard part of that statement, it doesn't matter how powerful your pokemon are. I can solo most T3's and duo most T4's when my wife is with me but I still only average about 1-2 raids per week. I used to find raids in the evening during the week but since they changed the cutoff to 7pm that doesn't work for me leaving only weekends and even then they are few and far between in the 4 gyms that are within a reasonable driving distance, and when you do find a raid it's often a T5 with no one else around.

I did manage to do 3 raids yesterday on CD but didn't get a single TM drop. I've been raiding since they've introduced raids and have only managed to change the charge TM on 3 of my pokes (SC Gengar, Kyogre, and a HB draggy) with many more I would like to change. Conversely I've never been short on revives/potions and frequently have to toss them. So I'm all for another way to get charge TM's or at least let us pick the charge move when we do use one so I don't have to waste 5 or more of them on one poke.

Well, I remember when people walked (plus drifted) 500km for a level 20 IT/FB Tyranitar. Niantic just gave us all 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 Tyranitars with SD. Should they also give us 20 CTMs? Raid more, save more CTMs and realize all your Pokemon don't have to be perfect RIGHT NOW

It sounds to me like he would love to raid more if he could actually find any in his area. There's no 3rd party raid scanners, no in-game raid tracking unless you count defended gyms (and I don't because it's a stupid and cruel limitation).

He's basically blind to that half of the game and it sucks

Yep, exactly. I do every raid when I see one but I don't have indefinite time or resources to drive an hour to various gym areas trying to find one.

And believe me I've conserved what few I've found. I still have HB draggys, Twister Gyrados, FB Ttars, etc. I realize now these will either be outclassed or have a CD at some point so not worth a charge TM.

What I want the CTMs for are my legendaries. I can usually only manage to get 1 or 2 of each one so I would like to have one with the ideal moveset.

I think a good way to make them more available to the players who aren't in a position to raid more is to have a chance to get them with the legendary field research rewards.

I don’t have packs of players, time to waste trying to coordinate tier 5 raids, or the ability to drop everything and run out to raids when a Facebook group announces a raid in 40 minutes. So I just solo tier 3’s when I see one.

"and realize all your Pokemon don't have to be perfect RIGHT NOW"

that's only half the point of my post. I have massive amounts of items that are not useful to me, no way to trade them. I can throw away 300 revives, but I get nothing for it. I'd like to make any deal, even if it's a bad one.

I feel your pain. I haven't seen a CTM drop in weeks

I always thought a stardust boosting berry should be an item, like a pinap but for stardust not candy. Would be useful to pick up 1800 stardust per Octillery this event. I don’t think a berry is the item that will perform the functions you mention.

I’ve won 345 legendary raids and 245 regular raids. Not an extreme number, but it is always a PITA. I’m the point-person on 75% of the legendaries. Many times having to be the d*ck saying hard start at xx:xx so I don’t have to wait 30 min plus another 20 min AND type directions there.

Y’all say RNG is too much of a factor...well, if someone that has been playing 4 months and/or someone that barely raids gets as many CTMs as me...that is 100% RNG in my book. Especially when that 4 monther gets a 100% shiny larvitar on the exclusive day...way it is now at least I can get my moves changed.

I’ve done 82 legendary and 265 normal raids.

I get that some longtime players have a log jam of things they want to CTM. However, the topical player wants to fully CTM the 5+ SD Tyranitars that they got YESTERDAY.

Where I’m at: this past Friday we found a back-to-back at 6pm at an EX park. We had 7-8 level 40s in a full Thunder Kyogre lobby, then again against a HP. Few days ago we didn’t care about the rewards, we were all fishing for a shiny. Next week if that firepower amassed again we might bother to care about something other than if it was 100% or a shiny.

I've been playing since day 1 UK release. I like to raid when I can, but I've only been able to pick up my silver medals in the last couple of weeks. And yet I've never had a problem getting TMs. Getting better teams to low-man legendary raids has been a big help too - our town has enough players to raid frequently, and few enough that we know a locally minimum viable number. All of my Pokemon that I *actually* use, bar one Espeon and Machamp, have been TMed to the optimum moveset to what I use them for. It's not just about choosing the right raids and lucking out on the rewards/roll. It's about thinking about the mon you use and what you use them for, and possibly using sites like this to target your efforts. If you have 1 charge TM and a HS Machamp OR a HB Dragonite to choose between, for instance...which can wait and which can use the immediate improvement in YOUR situation?
