Raid rewards nerf?

Just did my first legendary raid of the day. Good news is that I got some potions as a reward (not to mention a 91 Moltres). Bad news is I got no rare candies or TMs (although others got a small number of candies). Seems like TMs and rare candies are more rare now.

Potions as a reward? That is new.

This happened in a raid my group did today. I received 5 super potions, 1 hyper potion, 1 rare candy, 2 charge TMs, and 0 revives. Oh and another Articuno fled.

It's time to stop automatically dumping so many revives, I think.

...and time to start automatically dumping super potions (and regular potions, obviously). I'm currently stocked with over 500 max potions, which I never use, and 80+ hyper potions, which I seem to replenish faster than I use them.

Before the gym rework, I was always running low on potions of all kinds, and occasionally revives as well. At the same time, I had 200+ each of poke, great, and ultra balls. Now, because it takes maybe 10-15 super potions and a half-dozen revives to collect my 50 coins each day, I've got more potions than I can possibly use, a large stockpile (180+) of max revives, and hardly any space for balls, which I now deplete a lot faster due to the need to grind for stardust.

Wow, that's a lot! I normally spend 1-2 revives and 2-3 super/1-2 max to get 50 coins.

Yeah, I just pulled that number out of the air, and I meant it to be the high end of the range, but maybe it is still a little high. I try to battle 2-3 gyms per day (usually night) to be safe, and if they are full of good mons at full health, it might take close to the number I stated, but I've never really kept track. Of course, the number is sometimes zero or close to it, if I find friendly gyms with space open.

Similar thing happened to me on my first raid of the day (Bangkok this morning). Received 5 super potions and just 3 rare candies so maybe Raids will no longer be the plethora of goodies they used to be. Got 4 TMs in one raid yesterday, so too early to say they are nerfing TMs.

I don't need potions. I'd gladly trade someone 50 of every single potion type for 50 rare candy. I just get 1 or 2 of the legendaries. I don't have time or patience to try and get into large groups on a daily basis.

I will trade 50 options for 1 candy. I'm dumping potions and revives anyway for bag space.

I was wondering the same thing, if potions were in addition to current rewards, or further diluting rewards I wanted.

I.e. - Did 3 raids in a row last night, pre-potion, and got ~80 revives between them. Such a waste as I tossed 75 of them.
