Candy Dearth?
For the last two or three weeks I have been experiencing raids with no rare candy rewards. For example four of the last five level 3 raids gave me no candy while my accompanying wife received two to three. We were part of a successful Lugia raid yesterday. Everyone received candy but me. Do you think this is just the randomness of the whole thing or is there some kind of effort to deny level 40 players candy? I am, however, awash in potions and revives.

RNG. It's all RNG.
For literally months, I didn't get any TM's. FTMs, CTMs, didn't matter, I didn't get any. Since Rayquaza, I've gotten 10 CTM's and about 15 FTM's. (I've taken to using my FTM's on Pokémon that are essentially trophies just to get them out of my inventory.)
Three weeks ago I did my first EX raid, then dumped 55 Rare Candies into my Mewtwo. Since then, I've done 25 Legendary raids +/- and gotten 9 Rare Candies - all in the same raid. Meanwhile, I'm Golden Razzberrying my gyms on a regular basis because I'm getting GR's out the waaaaazzzooo - I got 15 in one raid. 15!!! (15GR's and 2 CTM's after a Rayquaza raid. I had no idea what to make of that RNG.)
RNG, man, RNG. I honestly don't think that Niantic understands what "R" stands for - there's just way too much clustering in the game for it to be Random.
Probably just unlucky at the moment. I reached lvl 40 recently and still get rare candies.
Did two raids today and got three from each.
How many candies do you have? I've noticed that the more I have, the less I get.
P.S. Wouldn't mind getting more Revives. I can get 15 Hyper potions from a raid, but not a single Revive. Really annoying.
Yes, appears to be. And ironically I've had more luck getting candy from tier 1 raids than 2 (as an incentive to do those?) Soloed a Gendar yesterday, got none! Wasn't there supposed to be a guaranteed payout for tier 3+? This is one reason why I try to solo 3 raids. (I'm lvl 40 BTW).
Maybe it's just RNG.... but we only pay attention to what we want/need at a given time.
