That's weird. Starting around nine in the morning till 9 at night, almost every gym here had more than 1 raid. It was like Christmas. The gyms were lit up all weekend.

I saw one or 2 in the distance, but was too busy to go to them at the time... T_T

Did you catch any rare pokemon..?

The raids people will flock to are Tyranitar raids. I've been to 4 of them. The first one I went to, we only had 3 people. We got whooped. Then we had 5, still couldn't beat it. 5 minutes left till the raid was over, 2 more people came and we finally beat it with 7. Now people know to wait till there is at least 7 or maybe 6 high levels to attempt a 4 star raid. People are starting to organize before jumping in. Out of the 4 Tyranitar raids, we beat 3 of the raids. The last raid we had 7, but had mostly low level and noobs. Almost beat it though. I caught 2 of the Tyranitars we beat.

The other raids I did were 3 Venusaur raids, caught 1 of those. Then a Lapras raid, caught that too.

Got 2 Fast TMs and 4 Charge TMs from the raids as well.

Raids are a nice idea but the rewards suck.
Basically just Pokemon I already have add not as good.

Gyms are better though I think. Well somewhat.

TMs are nice rewards to change sucky moves your Pokemon might have

Niice. I hope I can do some raids soon... More than the pokemon, I'd like some TMs, so I can give some of my strong pokemon actual good moves.

So far I've done 2 level 1 raids solo. I wish I could find random people doing them.
Not sure how I feel about gyms though.

Look for 4 star raids and hang out. People will start flowing in. Don't be scared to say hi and ask people to raid with you. It takes at least 7 people to beat a 4 star raid. If you see 1 to 3 star raids, people usually don't even bother. They would rather use a raid pass on a 4 star raid. That is most likely why you don't see random people.

I just haven't seen anyone playing the 2 times I went, I would definitely rather do a 4 star but I did those because I wanted to atleast get a raid in for rare candy. I'm hoping to find people this week at a semi popular spot plus I know 2 people that still play. 

What level are you btw?
