Been Away for Ten Days

What'd I miss? (j/k - it took some reading but I think I'm caught up.) I do have a question though.

With perhaps 3.5 hours until the end of the event, I finally have a chance to take part. I've been hoarding gym coins for a long time in anticipation of something new to spend them on, and it sounds like that could be occasional raid passes.

However, I'm a solo player, only Level 35.8, with a meager collection of top attackers (having previously focused on defenders). I haven't had a reason to level up for a long time either, but now I wonder if I should buy some lucky eggs on sale to level up because it might improve my chances of success during raids -OR- if I should keep my coin stash, level up at a normal rate, and have the chance to buy more raid passes.

I'm leaning toward the latter, since it seems that building a large attack team with breadth and depth (having 6 Jolteon, 6 Machamp, 6 Exeggutor, etc. all at Level 30) will become very useful for raids, while pushing an individual Jolteon or Machamp from Level 37.5 to Level 38.5 doesn't seem like it should matter as much.

So I guess my question is: Did I miss something in my catch-up reading that suggests leveling up will be more useful than I think, or should I stick to my strategy of keeping coins for raid passes and focus on building an attack team first?

I would probably save up coins if you can to see what the raid situation looks like. But it wouldn't hurt to buy one lucky egg and go to a heavily populated pokemon area and catch everything and anything possible. The EXP bonus with a lucky egg is insane right now.

I bought some more lucky eggs as they are very cheap right now and I plan to keep doing mass evolves once this event ends. I am saving coins to see what the new gym situation and raids are like. If you can spare a few coins to buy some eggs I would but that is just me. Don't need to spend a ton though. I bought 8.

Even buying one and catching pokes non-stop for 30 mins is pretty awesome.
