Did they Change Rarity of TMs and Rare Candies?

My last three level three raids only gave me revives and golden berries.

Do you think they made TMs and Rare candies harder to get?

Saturday and Sunday of last week it only gave me the same things. I think it is just a random roll.

It seems so, still not enough data to say it is for sure but I have seen a good amount of players saying the same so I believe they have actually changed it. Yesterday I did 3 level 3 raids and nothing, I will go out later and do 2 or 3 more and I will see.

One thing I am sure, if this is confirmed I am not buying more premium passes and only play with the free one, what is the point of paying 100 coins per raid if you can't get candies and Tm's that is the only worth about them if you already have that species.

I agree. In a gym metagame where being in a gym longer than 9 hours actually HURTS me, what's the point of goldenberries? And revives are way too common.

The only reason to do raids would be TMs and Candies.

what's the point of goldenberries?

They are for those rare cases when you encounter a pokemon you really want in the wild. They are the better razberries.

Fair enough :p but being able to catch raid bosses does mitigate the need for them somewhat

Yes, they are for that, but I have 60+ golden raspberries, what are the chances I encounter 60 mon I really want in the wild? It would take me like 1 year here hahha :D. Golden raspberries and revives are not enough for me to spend a premium raid pass, and less now that the max coins you can get per day is 50.

So you can use them to troll a rival who attempts to take a gym. If he beats a pokemon the second time, feed one golden berry.

Then he can get even by letting your mon rot in a remote gym ;)

Shiiiiit wild hunting is a thing of the past in this game. That is the feature that has now been so long neglected I'm surprised most of us even remember it is a thing.

I was wondering if your first raid is always very productive. My first raid was level 4 vs. Tyranitar, and I got 3 TM's and the Tyranitar was 2092, which is probably 98%. Unfortunately, I failed to capture it. But I have never gotten 3 TM's or such a high IV mon in subsequent raids.

Yeah I got a whole bunch of rare candies and a charge tm on my first raid.

I think they do it to sucker you in.

Sneaky, Niantic!

I can confirm this is not the case. First raid was Flareon and it gave me sollely revives and berries.

My first raid was just junk, while I got a charged TM yesterday morning soloing an 82% IV Exeggutor.

Don't complain, I've done 21 raids so far (6 lvl 4, 9 level 3, 5 level 2 and 1 level 1) and never got one single TM...

Six Lv 4 raids yet not a single TM... that's VERY unlucky

I got only one TM after 5 successful raids (lvl 1 X 1, lvl 3 X 4), but got at least a few candies each time.

Maybe just good old RNG ;)

That said, they might have changed the drop rate, so I'm hanging onto my charge TM - don't really know what to use it on.
