Are you trying 3 Star raids again?

Given the drought of golden raspberries and Rare Candy from Legendary Raids, I am now focussing on 3 star raids. I have access to two accounts so I "two hand" (ie two phones) most of the 3 stars by myself and have had much better success in winning GR and RC. Usually 6 GR per account (and almost always at least 3) and similar RC. In contrast at recent Legendary Raids I got no GR or RC at least half the time. I think the reason is that I always get 12 Premier Balls (6 + 3 damage + 3 team) and hence many reward bundles whereas with Legenday Raids it is usually 8-9 balls (I am Instinct and we are a small minority in my area).

The other advantage of two handing a 3 star is that the Mons caught are very high IV. Today I did two Vaporeon raids and caught 2x 98 IV and 2x 89 IV Vapes. bagged a 96 IV Gengar yesterday.

Just saying, this is a good source of berries and RC and I am swimming in them now! Anyone else experiencing this? Any other strategies for maxing GR and RC ahead of MewDeux???

You seem to be lucky while I'm not so lucky. The past 9 days I've been working on my T3 solos and while my RC and GR hauls are about the same as my T5 raids, the catch mons have been pretty bad. Of the 8 catches only 3 have iv >80%, none >90%.

Hi Nigel, sorry to hear your luck with IVs has been less so. I hope your comment on RC and GR means that they are raining down on you in 5 star raids!! 5 stars continue to be unrewarding here (Bangkok) but again that may because the groups are so large (again we are "fortunate" to have huge turnout at 5 star raids).

This last week, I got a charge TM out of one solo level 3 raid. Once I got 9 golden raspberries. I've also gotten rare candies twice. So far, since I started soloing level 3's, I haven't gotten JUST revives and potions, like I have in a couple level 5 raids.

Multi accounting on two phones is cheating btw.

Around here they say it's their girlfriend/wife/kid whose supposedly playing, he's just carrying the phone. Some of them seem to have a shitload of kids, filling entire gyms by themselves.

No, that is not what "multiaccounting" means. Its forbidden to do so on one device. If you have another phone, you don do that, you just have one acc per device and that is perfectly fine.

Tell me one reason, why someone couldnt level another character and use it simultaneously, when you are kinda bored with the main one and are lacking in friends.

One meaningfull reason not to do so

ToS
...the ability to screw your own team mates over.

I understand the point you are making (and refuse to add personal opinion in here), but it IS against the ToS, and the reasoning is that you gain an unfair advantage over both opponents and team mates alike.

It is exactly the same like buying coins and playing more. You put more effort and money into the game.

Its like creating new character in a online game. I would love to play my old one and new one simultaneously because í wanna experience something new while i wont waste time not playing the higher one. But that is not the option, its physically imposible to do so.

But here it is not and if i wanna have two or whatever number of devices and play that, it is not unfair. I just work more for it. Like the 40lvls played 5hs a day while i was working, could play only 2. That was unfair to me, so i bought another phone for beating gyms morr easily. It is exactly like buying coins. Money exanges for advamtage, if you don have the effort/time

I was only pointing out that the ToS explicitly states it is a breach - it is not uncommon in other games for it to be against the rules to have multilpe accounts.

I am not saying I disagree or agree with your perspective, but simply stating that technically it is a breach.

Did not know that, thank you. To be honest though, "two handed trainers" are sometimes quite a positive factor for raids. On many occasions I have done 5 star raids where we only had enough people because 2-3 raiders had 2 phones each.

Yep i am getting better rewards from solo level 3 then most of the level 5s ive done last couple of weeks unless done in very small groups.
On top of that i don't usually need to use the GRs that drop on the catch which is allowing me to build supply.

This is not what soloing t3 means.

If your comment refers to my original question post, then I am confused ... I did not say I am soloing them. I said very cleary that I am taking them down with two phones (one mine, one is my son's, often he joins me when not in school). Several of the respondents mention soloing which is great as it is interesting to see that that their rewards are generally better than group play. At 95% of these 3 stars I am the ONLY person whereas the 5 stars get several dozen (or more). We are very fortunate here (Bangkok) to have a rabid trainer base for legenadary raids.
