Gym Raid Questions?

I have done 2 gym raids so far by myself so I have a few questions:

I understand that based on your damage output and that of your team (Valor, Mystic, Instinct), you will be rewarded with a diff amount of the special balls to capture the raid boss. What about other items? Does everyone who participated in the same raid (same team) all get the same items beside number of special balls? Do the fast and charge TMs only come from tier 4 raid boss battles? I have done a tier 2 and a tier 3 without receding TMs so just wondering if only tier 4 gave out TMs. If my Pokémon storage is already maxed out, 1000/1000 when I win the raid battle, does the game still let's you catch the raid boss? Or does it error out?

Thanks in advance!

I have similar questions--and I can answer one of yours. I have successfully finished 4 raids (one tier 1, one tier 2, two tier 4) and have not received a TM. I just beat a snorlax and received 4 rare candies and a bunch of normal revives. So clearly you aren't guaranteed one with a tier 4 raid.

I would like to know the %ages of getting a TM, as I am 0-4.

Haven't received a single TM either. A couple of hiurs ago I even did a level 2 raid with three others and two if them got a TM.

Nice job on solo'ing a level 3, what did you beat?

I couldn't down a Flareon this morning by myself, time-out despite strong rhydon, Gary with HP, and 2.8K vapes with HP... Then I crossed the street, bought a Raid Pass (it's working, Niantic!) for a Level 1 croc, crushed with a throwaway Jolt with Discharge with most of its HP remaining lol, AND got a Charge TM. That's the 2nd time in a row for a Charge TM from that gym, battling a Tier 1. I'm assuming insanely good RNG, but I'll definitely go back there...

It's nice to hear that even tier 1 raids drop them, because otherwise I'd be in sort of in a catch 22 situation. I have a bunch of would-be strong attackers to power up if I could just collect 2 or 3 fast TMs to get rid of the steel wings/bullet punches they have.

Considered taking on a level 3 Flareon myself today, but decided against it when noone else showed up. I'm sure I didn't have the necessary firepower alone. As far as I know, a Vaporeon lineup is not enough solo.

  1. Random
  2. Random, I personally got them in Tier 2
  3. Interesting, might be like items where you can go over the limit but after you finish the raid boss it does prompt you to join the bonus challenge, if you're full you just may not be able too? Just be sure to have a spot available!

Hi, the one i can´t answer it. But the two i think is randomly, ther are a lot of reports of being droped in all tiers, i get two Charge TM in a tier 4 one, so may be random...
Your third point, TNRTips have a video that he says that when you have full pokémon bag, the raid avoid the bonus feature to catch it.

I have an option for a Pokemon GO update. If i want to battle a raid, i have to ride my bike for 5 km. Then usually no one is at a raid and i came for nothing. I got to like 30 raids, i battled with 3, with 2 i was just to late, and the other 25 no one was around. So i want the option that if some one inserted his/her raid pass, youll see a player icon if you click the gym, if someone is in the gym area, youll see a more foggy player icon, so that youll know if someone is there. Please if you agree, send a related to this question to Niantic and maybe they will do it.
