Thanks for the "One" -- NOT

Thank you so much for this special event, where 10 TIMES IN A ROW, all I have gotten is "ONE" rare candy. 2-5s, 3-3s, 3-2s and 2-1s. I appreciate taking away my normal rare candy drops and substituting the ONE. Please tell me that this isn't happening to you, because it really SUCKS!

I've done two raids, both T5. Got 10 rare candy on the first one and four (I think) from the 2nd one.

I think the way this works is that in addition to the normal candy drop (or not, depending on the whims of the RN Gods), you get an additional candy. I suspect that if it weren't for this event, you'd have gotten zero candy in ten raids. I think that would suck even worse. A very unlucky streak, certainly, but not unheard of.

What are you complaining about? It has been a few months since they have added a guarantee to get at least 1 rare candy in raid rewards. You get bundles of items which are randomly selected and can contain bundles of rare candy or not, and you also get 1 additional rare candy.

The number of bundles you get is based on the level of the raid and the number of premier balls you receive (minus 1 from when a ball was added as a patch for the last ball bug, minus the balls from friendship bonus). If you want more bundles, raid higher level raids at team controlled gyms, with teammates, but not too many players.

Last Winter I went like 30+ raids (solo + legendary) without getting a single Charge Tm. My ‘Mons aren’t L33T, but I’m sure I’m above average for counters. Idk if it was bad luck but I feel your struggle.
I raided Onix today with a random trainer and received 7 RC. I’m 99.9% positive I’ve raided in the same/adjacent gyms at the same raid level SOLO and received as little as one or no RCs.
You can’t win them all. Even if you could, Moneynantic wouldn’t let you as they need your money to continue to produce this game.

So what you're saying is that you'd prefer 0 rare candies 10 raids in a row...?

In my case the rare candy awards alternated between 1 and 7 in subsequent raids.
