Tier 3 or tier 5?

Since the apparent raid rewards nerf, is it better to go for tier 3 solos or 7-10 people tier 5 raids when it comes to rewards?

I dont know exactly what this nerf supposedly is and was wondering if anyone knew more about it

The one bit that seems certain is the reduced GRB rate. At T5 you're guaranteed 3 instead of 4 now and bundles include one less as well. Part of the trade-off is an additional 250 dust for raid participation.

Haven't raided the last couple days, but looked this up after seeing this post.

It looks like GRB base bundle has been reduced by one at multiple tiers (at least for Tier 5 and Tier 3 raids, probably all?).

Further, potion bundles are severely reduced - Tier 3 reward bundles are now only 1 super potion instead of 4.

Revives, Rare Candy, and TMs all appear to be unaffected for bundle size. However it's possible that odds of getting them may have changed (would need mass data to know for sure).

For now, it seems like tier 5 would still have better rewards then. First, you only really care about candies and TMs. Second, the GRB nerf is a flat 1, so it affects raids where you get more by less (i.e. 4>3 is a smaller nerf than 3>2).

You're right, rarecandy and tm's are all that really do matter.

So it does seem liek tier 5's are still better, thanks.

I have my small group in near my house now, 14 player in total, but ussually 4-6 trainer can make it for raids, sometimes 10 or more trainers can show up, but rarely
In my experience, doing legendary raids with 5 or less account/ trainers still give a good rewards.
Been doing that since mewtwo become raid boss as some trainers become stronger now. All members see and aggreed that the rewards is better than going with 8 or more traners. So ussualy we split to smaller group if we can, revive and potion still easy to get at this moment, so not really a problem for us

When it comes to raids it’s go small or go home.... they way things are now it doesn’t pay to do the current tier 5 with more than 4 or EX raid with more than 2.... A game that actively hurts an experienced player for helping a newbie has an extremely short life span....
