Anyone else think the new reward system from the gym is REALLY crap?

My Vaporeon just came back to me and I got a whole THREE coins...

They've changed it again so that you earn a coin every 10 minutes with a daily max of 50 coins you can collect.
Well, just took part in my first ever raid and got a 1500 and something CP Muk. =l

Also got a fast move TM, will save for the dratini I have and hopefully NOT need it!

Hatched a 96% IV dratini yesterday. =l

How do you receive coins from the new gym system?
My Espeon has been in the gym for over over 24 hours and no reward yet...

Guys, I am thinking of using my fast TM on Tyrannitar because it has an iron tail and stone edge moveset with 95% IVs.

Yes or no?

Congrats on the 96% Dratini surely?

Yea you catch whatever you beat in the raid. Raids are starred one to four stars which determine difficulty and what you will catch.

You get coins when pokemon are returned from gyms. You earn 1 coin every 10 minutes but you can only get a maximum of 50 coins per day so having multiple pokemon return on the same day probably isn't great!

Well moves roll to whatever other moves they can currently have. So you're Tyranitar would change from Iron Tail to Bite. I think Bite/Stone Edge is the best combination?
I hit a Pokestop on a 7 day streak for the first time in ages.

Another sodding Dragon Scale :mad:

What are you missing?

I've got everything now but my spread was:

6x Sun Stone
13x Kings Rock
4x Metal Coat
10 x Dragon Scale
5x Upgrade
I haven't been able to log in for about 6 days now because of some unable to authenticate with the Pokemon trainer club login...
If I had 4-5 people with me, I reckon I could have done this.
Tried solo, no surprise it didn't work...

Well I finally figured why I wasn't able to log on. I thought I was banned or my account had been hacked but it turns out updating my phone solved it straight away. 1 whole wasted week :lol:

Haha. Feedback seems to be that a person can solo a level 1 or 2 raid. Some level 3 raids might be possible if a weak monster. Once you hit level 4, you do need 5-6 people.

Yeah. They added raids. (A bit like on the trailer when it was that mewtwo battle)
I still try to go on it most days.

However you get one raid pass a day, unless you want to pay for more.
Its quite hard to do when the suggested amount of players is 17 and only like 2 or 3 people turn up including yourself.

Also as for gyms, im my area there are hardly any gyms for the team im in.

Download it if you are in team instinct, otherwise don't

what team are you in?

If you saw the original trailer, when there was loads of people teaming up to battle and catch a mewtwo, its a bit like that. So theres like a boss pokemon with high health. 4 different levels atm. level 1 is like a magikarp or something. Which you will probably be able to do solo.

Level 4 raids are either fully evolved pokemon (starters) or tyranitar or something. Look up the list. I tried to do one a few days ago, there was only 2 people. So we stood no chance. It says the suggested amount of players for a level 4 is 17, but depending on your level should be able to do it with 10.

Theres an event in Chicago,where I believe they will do level 5 raids which is going to be a legendary.

After/if you beat the pokemon you are then given some special pokeballs where you have a chance to catch it. (Haven't got that far yet. No one is turning up.)

No I don't understand? So is it like battling a very high CP Pokemon but with another person simultaneously somewhere? :K:

I guess so yeah. Up to 20 people.

On the map thing, where it shows what pokemon are nearby it will also show nearby raids.

It will usually tell you two hours in advance. So if its far way you have 2 hours to get ready and get there. When it starts you have an hour to beat it.

skip to the 2 minute marker. Its a little bit like that (maybe not on that scale as at the moment the limit is 20 players.)
