I have an army of level 20 Tyranitars. Who f@cking cares?!
These Tyranitars don't feel real. Like they were bought from raid passes. The Tyra's I had before gym rework feels more real to me. Feels like I'm in bizarro world. Anyone else feel this way? The more we rant hopefully Niantic will Hear us out. My friends 7 year old daughter has several Tyras and she's level 15.

What's sad is Lvl 36+ trainer here and no Tyranitars yet...
Saw a raid one morning, but prob too early for people and didn't want to waste my pass...(saw only 1 other person around who may/may not have been playing).
City/rural disparity is probably huge...I haven't seen many Tyranitar raids lately, but I honestly haven't looked too much...Maybe I will hatch a Larvitar with good IVs finally and do it the old fashioned way.
This new gym system widens the gap between city and rural players. Every Jane dick and harry in my city got multiple high IV Tyras from raids. Every Tyra raid I've been to got at least few real people and several spoofers. Most people at a raid we had 24 people. Had to split into two groups. Even if I see two real people at a Tyra raid I'm pretty confident there will be at least 5 or 6 in the lobby.
Big city player here. Working in an area with eight gyms in close proximity. During the day there are always between three and five raids running simultaneously. Paradise, yes? Yesterday I waited for the first tier 4 raid of the day, went there early ... and had to face a Venusaur boss alone. Point is, with so many opportunities the player base is diluted. High level raids are only possible if you arrange a meeting beforehand.
This is my Tyranitar. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Tyranitar is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my Tyranitar is useless. Without my Tyranitar, I am useless. I trained my Tyranitar true. I must battle harder than my rival who is trying to balttle me. I must faint them before they faint me. I will…
My Tyranitar and I know that what counts in gym battles is not the raids we won, the premeare balls used, nor the TMs used. We know that it is the stardust that count. We will bite…
My Tyranitar is a monster, even as I, because it is my pokemon. Thus, I will learn it as a master. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its moves, its bite and its crunch. I will keep my Tyranitar HP full and ready, even as I am full and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before Casuals, I swear this creed. My Tyranitar and I are the defenders of my gyms. We are the masters of our rivals. We are the wariors of my area.
So be it, until victory is mine and there is no rivals, but peace!
It's sort of ridiculous. These high-level Pokemon are high level for a reason: you work up to them. Not pluck them off a shelf at the dollar store. They should never have made the bosses catchable. TMs are plenty enough reward in my world, that's why I don't care what L4 boss spawns. The type isn't important: the TMs are.
