Anyone else fell frustrated when Niantic removes the new tier 3 raid bosses

I was about to test my team this weekend and BOOM! All disappeared.

Right now, nope. I'm in a place that has no spawns, stops, or gyms. Am frustrated getting to Austin on the 18th and the SXSW Unown event is ending that day. Since I'm in a Pokemon Desert, what are the new tier 3 raid bosses?

Nothing new, they took away the windy tier 3. I saw jynx, piloswine, gengar and jolteon back as tier 3. Also golem is back as tier 4 which could signal that they will recycle all of he birds.

Cool thanks, I just looked at the infograph. I don't mind battling Golem and getting tier 4 rewards and they are often boosted catches and I can pinap them easily, too.

I am incredibly frustrated with Niantic. I finally had a team to solo Claydol, tried at several different raids, but the servers were too slow to beat it. Didn't see another and now it's the only 3 star I haven't soloed that was possible to solo.

Yep, managed to get my first solo
Attempt of Claydol in. Pretty easy
With rainy weather.

Dang, i was looking forward to more Aerodactyls... At least I got the wonder 14 attack one I've soloed.

I hate to see Claydol go but glad to see Gengar and Jolteon return

I want to do both Alakazam and Claydol since they are very challenging.

Extremely frustrated. I still had Starmie and Aerodactyl to solo with uniques teams because I haven't seen any for days and Alakazam to solo without Tyranitar, which I couldn't complete because errors ruined every good run I had.

I'm happy to get to maybe try Jolteon and Gengar coming back isn't the worst. But unfortunately the new pool doesn't lend itself very well to the unique 36 challenge and for many players like myself it's what makes the solos interesting.

So are you telling me I invested 300 rare candy and I don't know how much dust in a raid boss that disappeared after 1 attempt. Great, thanks a lot Niantic!

In fairness to Niantic, they have established a pattern that bosses are temporary. Investing significant resources in order to solo, say, Claydol, would seem rather ill-advised.

They have previously not rotated them anywhere near this fast however. The previous fastest rotation was what, 4 or 5 weeks?

Nope. I feel the opposite.

Exactly what you described has happened to me - twice! But now that the raids are rotating rather frequently, the ones I missed out on are coming back (I waited to power up my Groudons until after the G raids ended, and then Gengar left with them...)

Now, its just a matter of waiting. You're ready just have to wait until they come back around. I think this is best for the game because I had gotten bored of good tier 3 raids, like Scyther and Porygon, the shorter run time and occassional recurrence will keep things from getting dull.

It is frustrating, all you can do is look on the bright side. For me, I'm keen to see how my 91% 2684 Gardevoir goes up against Gengar.

I wish they kept the windy bosses around just a bit longer. I never got a chance to solo Claydol because we've had cloudy weather this past week or so.
