Less intrest for Tyranitar?

I posted in my community group chat i've been looking for tyranitar raids, and most of them responded with less than enthusiastic comments about wanting to raid them, mostly due to the tyranitar CD.

Has anyone else noticed this?

On the contrary, people in my group are looking for Ttar raids more than Regice now, especially with double candy (gotta get those 40 candy boi).

What's frustrating is the raid drops have seemed to dry up since Articuno day. Yesterday literally no one could find a Tyranitar raid to do.

This for the most part has been my experience too (more ttar interest than regice), the exception are Lv38&39ers who are wanting to chain legendaries to get to 40.

Maybe just bad luck? I didnt notice such a thing. We made 3 Ttars in 3 hours and a radius of 500m also it had 2 Absol and 2 Golem in that time. There were 4-5 Regis but not one T2 and only very few T1 & T3.

Likely so. Still doesn't make it less upsetting, especially when you only get the last hour or so of raid curfew to actually find something. Why Niantic doesn't extend it in the states is beyond me.

Yes.

Where it causes a problem in my area is that people don't report Tyranitar raids in our Discord chat very often. When one gets posted, there's normally 2-3 people willing to go do it - and thankfully Ttar is easy to beat for 2-3 people, particularly in Cloudy weather. But people just aren't posting it anymore.

Here a small number of raids are being reported, Regice has done that to all our raid chats. People don't want to say something and instantly and become the organizer/chat moderator.

Yesterday I did a boosted Golem...when it is single candy I decided boosted Golem about the same as a regular Tyranitar...I would just trade either of them anyway.

Now with the extra candy, regular Tyranitar well worth raiding. I did a crunch Tyranitar in cloudy several weeks ago: 40; 35; 30 and had 93 sec remaining. So some people probably doing them without chatting much about them.

I'm explicitly looking for tyranitar to get the 40 candy catch, but none are spawning. All the tier 4s lately have been Golem and Rhydon.

Seriously, who still needs them? I took 4 months off, I rarely raid, probably done 4 or 5 Tyranitar raids, and still have 3 level 40 Tyranitar. I'm not going to go out of my way to do it. Give me a T3 that I can solo.

At this point it's likely less need, more want. Dark Tyranitar will be the go-to dark type attacker until Yveltal in Gen 6. Rock Tyranitar is the solid middle ground between Rampardos's DPS and Rhypherior's TDO (I'm assuming they'll both get Stone Edge as Niantic loves giving that to fully evolved Pokemon over Rock Slide). I know people who want 6 of each, dark and rock, and will continue to raid them until they get them.

While far off and much too speculative right now, there's also the mega factor which will make it an absolute beast in both roles.

I agree. My point is that even being a less than hardcore player at this point, I could easily have 6 maxed Tyranitar if I cared to spend the dust. It seems more of a dust issue than candy issue.

I couldn't care less about Tyranitar raids, I have enough Larvitar candy for a lifetime

How many Regice candy do you have? Also, what do you expect to be Regice's featured move when it gets its own raiding day (3hrs)? Will it be just Ice Beam instead of Blizzard?

The above contributor is tired of Tyranitar, I was tired of Regice 15 sec after I caught my first one. At least he can farm out high level wild Tyranitars and give them to someone else, but Regice...nothing

33, and I severely doubt they'll give it a special move.

Technically Thundershock was legacy for Zapdos since it was in the game's code at some point, it just got shuffled to Charge Beam before they released it. Same with Suicune and Snarl, which funnily enough they un-legacy'ed after its run.

Sixty... seven candy? Why?
I prefer doing tier 5 raids for the rewards, if that's where you're going.
Also, I would like a high IV one before it goes away, if only just to keep that one when the next double candy event comes in a year or so.

With double candy i looking only for TTars, but noone are spawning. my community also prefer TTar than any other.This is mon, you will never get enough. I still have 5 rock TTars to max and have just 1 dark.

I don't need anymore Ttars but I like any duoable T4, including Ttar.
Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing Ttar, Aggron, Absol and Machamp disappear for a good long while

Ttar is easy to take down with two people, and not wanting to wait for others to join is the reason you won’t hear much. With the same rewards as a tier 5 boss (I constantly get 2 CTMs doing Ttar raids) and a MUCH MUCH better pokemon, there is no reason to do Regice. 1000 larvitar candy is not enough. 3 Regice candy is too many.

Hear hear. At this point my only motivation for doing Regice raids is to see if I can keep my perfect catch streak going, currently 11/11. If I miss one I'm calling it quits.

In my area of play, there are two types of trainer
One is trainer that still need Ttar or its candy, they report it when it spawn
One is who try to duo it, they dont report, they just raid it themselves..
If you have 2 more trainers willing to trio it, you will be fine with a decent counters
Or if there only 1 trainer interested, still can do if both of you have a team of counter that ready for it.

It’s pretty clear. You have most people that have taken advantage of Tyranitar being a raid boss since almost always/events/ used scanners in the past to hunt down Larvitars

and

You have people like me that can’t spend their free time to play Pokémon Go and got enough candies to evolve X amount of Tyranitars with Smack Down but still used those candies to also power up Dark Ttars and now need more candies to finish powering up Rock Ttars.

That’s aboubt cover it?
