Raikou is a much better pokemon than Snorlax, may be worth it if you could use the extra Raikou. That being said, I wouldn't power up a research Raikou unless you really really need it for something because there's now a very real chance that 1-2 months after it leaves research there will be Raikou raid day where it gets an un-TMble exclusive move.
I’m facing the same choice, and I’m going for the extra Raikou. Snorlax is a top defender but I personally don’t need more top defenders. My home playing area has lively but not brutal gym action. I don’t need perfect defenders to get my 50 coin a day and work toward gold gym badges. Every gym can only hold one Snorlax, and I have to use other defender species anyway to do my part in filling up the ones I frequent.
On the other hand, there has been a pattern in the last few months; today’s special release might be tomorrow’s top counter. With the zapdos rerelease being followed shortly by Raikou, something tells me we’ll be wanting top electric attackers.
TL;DR: one more good snorlax makes little difference to my game, but one more Raikou gives me more resources for building the super electric team I expect I’ll be needing.
Yeah my gym scene is pretty quiet. A more common issue is all gyms being my color rather than not.
I havent powered any defenders yet because i always get my coins with Dratinis just for feeding anyway but i finally got enough Chancey candies so ill follow you and get that extra Raikou instead of some Snorlax candy.
