Yes.. you get a varying number of balls depending on your performance but they get lost between raids

I've noticed that my local gyms are changing hands a lot more frequently now. The longest I've held one so far is 12 hours.

Took 3 gyms this evening. I'm getting through my revives and potions like no ones business. It's a shame I threw so many away to make room for balls.

Took a Croconaw raid yesterday and used a Pinap berry - hello 10+ candy

Took 2 gyms last night also and 1 of them is still in today with 11 hours of duty so far.

Have you noticed a lack of stop-streaks

I've got a snorlax getting close to 12 hours. Looks like he's been hit though as he's low and I got a message saying he needs a berry.

My Lapras did 23 hours and 17 mins.

One of the gyms I hit last night clearly had a fake account in it, the Dragonite I was attacking had over 16,000 fights to its name.

Do you still get dust for defending?

I was around for 2 raids but both were crap so I didn't bother.

I've not noticed the streak thing, you mean when you hit 10 in a row you get bonus stuff?

Hate the GPS Spoofers.. I understand why they do it but it's frustrating.

FYI, pokemon over 3000CP lose motivation 10x quicker than pokemon under 3000CP

I mean the pokestop daily spin streak. I didn't get one yesterday when I span the gym first. Will try spinning a pokestop first today

I didn't know that, thanks. I'll save those for close gyms or attacking.

I'm still getting my spin bonus. I'm not sure though if I've done a gym as my first spin of the day.

Took 2 Raids last night - Tyranitar (19 of us) and Snorlax (9 of us).

Tyranitar was beaten in a minute, 6 balls, super razz berries, I didn't catch it - bugger.

Snorlax was beaten in just over a minute, 8 balls, super razz berries, excellent throws, curve balls, I didn't catch it. I had to suppress my anger as there were strangers there.

After Tyranitar I levelled up to 28 so got loads of items, to take on Snorlax I had to use coins but my bag was full - I had to delete all the items I got given from levelling up. I was not a happy bunny

Ah crap and crap. Bad news.

Both of the nearby raids yesterday were level 3. I couldn't be bothered.

I took a gym but it didn't last for an hour. I do wish people would show some etiquette and leave them for a bit,. They know it costs you items to clear a gym, you should be able to get some reward for it.

It was terrible, the gf said if it was her she'd have been really grouchy for the rest of the evening and probably have cried (she isn't lying!!)

I've noticed my pokemon are staying in certain gyms longer than normal - I think everyone has gotten a little more mindful since this update and people from different teams working together

Last night's gym lasted all of 17 minutes. Arsewipes. I took out 6 pokemon as well.

Used Venusaur last night with good effect. I've been reading up on gym smashers and this one came up as recommended. It's only got 1900 CP so I've not been using it.

I don't like my Venusaurs so I put them on to defend gyms.

I beat a Lapras raid last night and caught it. 6 of us and we only just achieved the win.

Braved the pouring rain for a Croconaw last night, up to 55 Candy for Totodile so I can hopefully get a decent final evolution.

There was a Snorlax at a raid last night but it was too cold and wet to go out. The dog had a quick walk so I missed all of my usual pokestops. For the first time in an age I've not got any eggs to hatch.

I couldn't tell what the event was besides a Pikachu with a hat.. again.

In other news - I caught the first Tyranitar from the 3 raids I've done. It has terrible moves though (N)
