TMs and Legendary raids

Do you think there is a link between gym colour, damage bonus and so on and the reward quality you get on legendary raids?

I'm asking because I thought it would be easier to get some TMs with level 5 raids but it seems not to be the case.

For example, we did 6 legendary raids yesterday with my group (5 Moltres, 1 Lugia) and I didn't even get one single TM out of those 6. I got the damage bonus every time and all the raids were on red and yellow gyms (I'm blue).

Any opinions/thoughts on this?

I have done 4 today.

Full damage bonus every time with 3 times a group of 5 and one group of 6. Got one TM every time with the last time getting 1 fTM and 1cTM if I remember correctly.

My team only controlled one of the gyms in question.

I'm not really weighing in with an opinion just giving you my results from today.

Over the course of about 30 legendary raids I almost average about one per raid. I then leveled up my 3 golems and 3 ttars to level 33 Monday. Yesterday I did two Moltres raids. 3 tms mixed the first one and 5 charge tm the second raid. First time i got more than two and it was both yesterday. I got +3 damage and my team did the most damage. It was a blue tower and I'm instinct though. Someone told me when your Pokémon are over level 30 you do the most damage. And when you do a lot of damage you get better rewards. Haven't had a chance to see today yet if it was a coincidence or not. I was regretful I used 400k in dust but maybe it was worth it

I caught two Moltres today, got 1 charged TM. My app crashed both times, had to go in afterward and spin to catch boss...still 11 balls (small group) in friendly gym (no TM), then 20 person enemy gym 7 balls (TM). Neither one did I get even 1 rare candy!?!***Defeated Moltres 3 times yesterday, all at friendly gyms (didn't catch one) got 3 charge TMs and 2 Fast

I don't know. It depends on your luck. I almost got NO TMs in Raids. Hundreds of Revive, one time I got 21 Rare Candy but yeah.. low amount of TM overall really bad luck for me with TM. 1/5 or 6 raids give a TM

If it is any consolation, since I had some luck catching Moltreses today and recent TM good luck, I didn't mind trying to go from Fire Blast to Overheat on the 96%IV...first TM Heatwave, 2nd TM Fireblast, 3rd TM....Heatwave! My luck is EVEN!

It's not any consolation as I don't like to see others getting bad luck ;-)
I hope you can get OH soon on your Moltres.

The few TMs I got during the Articuno week, I used them on 4 of my HB Dragonites, fortunately I got Outrage 1st try for all of them, so I'm quite happy with that, even if some people say D'nite is not the monster he used to be. It was much a personal project and love using him on gyms. He's probably my favorite generalist attacker.

The way I see it from my personal experience is that it is completely random and not based on any conditions.

You can do 3 Damage + ur team controls the gym + highest contribution by ur team and get 0 TMs.

On the other hand, you can do 0 or 1 damage + no gym control and lowest team contribution and still get a TM, sometimes even 2.

So I think it is completely random.
But of cause always choose the right counters to help the whole raid team.

Only when the raid boss is defeated then everyone will be a winner and have a chance to benefit from the rewards :)
