What raids do you go for?
What tier of raids do you all go for. I pretty much only go for tier 1 as its easy to go through solo and don't count on having anyone around when trying for higher tiers and as appealing as some of the pokemon in tier 4 are i'm only gunning for lapras as I still need a better iv one since I have never hatched one and 10ks seem to be scarce again.

part of a facebook group, i mostly hit level 4's luckily most of the ones i have attended have been tyrantars but once you've driven somewhere you might as well give it a go. sometimes something else good pops straight away nearby and if you've spent $5 in fuel to get there you might as well spend $1 on a second raid pass.
I'm down to only doing T-Tar and Machamp when I'm playing alone. When there's a group I just go with the flow but I'm already tiring of these due to the frequency of them in Chicago. First world problems for sure. I really wish our rural friends could get a good chunk of the raids big cities are getting.
All level 4's as they are the best source of TM's and rare candy. Open to all level 3's as well, in particular Machamp and Alakazam. For level 2 raids only Exeggutor and Muk hold some interest. I'll do a level 1 raid for Croconaw since Feraligatr is the last dex entry I miss outside of regionals, legendaries, unknown and Porygon 2 (have the candies for that but am waiting for Porygon Z before I blow them). I'll even do a Magikarp raid for the lols.
Overall order of priority:
- Tyranitar (need a B/C one)
- Machamp (badly need the candies)
- Alakazam (need a high IV with Future Sight)
- Lapras (need a double ice lapras for when dragonite raids happen)
- Snorlax (guess he could become relevant again in the future so some candy would be nice)
- Exeggutor
- Croconaw
- Muk
It all depends on the chances of someone else showing up.
If it's a weekday, I will attempt a tier 3 or 4 raid at one of the three gyms near where I work before 4 PM if I have the time and opportunity to get there for the first fight, as there are usually one or two other people participating, which has proven enough to win.
Otherwise, because of the high chance of glitches or the app crashing, I only touch tier 1 or 2.
