So the max coins I can get from gyms total is 50 per day? And this is the ONLY way to get coins without being part of an even that gets fucked?

Yep.

Moltres will be available some time today right? I thought that's what I heard.
Has been since day 1. Though, probably be more rare now that Legendary raids seem to be more common currently.
I HATED that! Funny enough though, today I am 99.999% certain my Dragonite was knocked out by a person with an alt and placed his in the gym. Only cause all 6 pokemon there were 0 motivation and only mine was knocked out and now someone need is there. At least this time it benefited me as it gave me 50 coins. But what a jerk.. lol

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
God this current form of the game sucks after seeing what it could be with increased spawns.
Idk how Ninatic doesn't see this. You'd think increased spawns rate would dramatically up player engagement so you'd make more money in the end.

I hear you. After the event ended, everything was so much less fun.

a lot of things would make them a ton more money but they refuse to do them even though it would raise the quality of life for everyone that plays like online match making for raids all those suburban and rural players that currently cant raid would and spend a ton on raid passes
That would increase accessibility to higher level raids so much it almost hurts that they haven't implemented this already. There were 6 legendary raids in my area on Saturday. Varying times from 10am-5pm, every time I went not a single person showed up. It was pretty sad. I missed out on both Articuno and Lugia because of it. I also doubt I'll get a Zapdos or Moltres due to inactivity in my area. It's a huge bummer.

especially if they make you do like 10 normal raids 1-4 for a legendary raid pass i for one would spend a shit ton of money on it
Check out your town's local Reddit / Facebook scene for Pokemon Go. Esp for Discord links. Best way to coordinate. I did 7 Legendary raids Saturday / Sunday and we all rolled out as a group to each raid. Few times we had to split up cause we had too many.
People are saying it changes over at 5PST, which is the cutoff time for legendary raids, so it might as well be tomorrow anyway.

Really? Then why say today?
Niantic please...
Niantic didn't even announce the fact that there would be a switch happening. It was TPC that did that. If it wasn't for their post on this, no one would even know Articuno was going away until it happened.

they arnt very upfront with their info theyve always been this way though no reason to expect anything else from them they keep everything vague
dont know if its because they are afraid of giving false info and causing a shit storm but what ever their reason is it makes them look like they dont care

Its probably because:
1) They roll it out and not everyone will see it at 5PM
2) If they, god forbid, have any issue and it causes a delay for a bit people will raise all hell.

that's a double bingo
I wouldn't call gyms great now... but they went from being completely pointless, unusable and utter crap to at least something I will interact with again so there is that at least.
the coin cap is kind of crappy in general, and the raid system can be annoying with them.
just think if the raids start to work like they were in the video and a 48 hour egg does show up on a gym. that will lock that gym out for 2 days where you either can't get your pokemon out and for sure can't put any in.
Eggs don't lock out gyms. Only active raid bosses do.

Crap I'm almost out of Stardust.
*thinks*
actually you are right, because you could take the gym while the egg was going down. my bad.
I'm wasting it on Articuno at the moment. I have 'maxed' out my strongest monsters aside from that.
Unfortunately I already have a maxed out Charizard ^^
But yeah, dust is getting more and more valuable... I already powered up three Golems to around lvl. 30 to take on Moltres and Zapdos.

Well doesn't look like it's happening at 1pst. Probably 5 like someone said earlier.
How dumb

Speaking of gym eggs, did they disable that? I don't see the countdown eggs anymore.
I think they disabled it because they don't want people to take over gyms before the egg hatches to get the +2 ball bonus. Also to prevent spoofers from joining when the egg hatches.

disabled when pokefest started they will most likely be back as soon as they implement the legendary raid passes
I really hope they aren't planning on implementing legendary raid passes anymore.
a number of people bought normal raid passes for future legendaries and if they are locked behind a legendary pass at this point a lot of people will lose interest.

seems like nabab berry effect lasts for 2 rounds so put that on a legendary then also hit it with a golden raz the next throw should help hitting those excellent throws for max chance at catching them

Mine was the opposite experience lol. The only one I got, was without her.
This is what I did, excellent tip.

I said wow
Just got back to Tokyo, and I've seen like 3-4 Articuno raids in the past hour. Don't give up!
Articuno is still spawning new ones in my city, they must just be testing in Bellevue.

probably like the very first one and they'll go live elsewhere after it despawns?
also, you'll never find a sadder group of trainers than a bunch standing in the middle of the 100 degree valley, at an Unown spawn, that was listed as despawning at 2:20 but actually despawned at 2:10.
