"Actual PSA: Regarding Raid Battles (Crash/Sever Error/Quitting at the end of a raid) and other tips."

#PokemonGO: Okay I have a few things i wanted to mention, the first and most important of which is a nifty feature Niantic did include to Raiding. I apologise if this stuff has already been posted, if that is the case, please delete the post mods!IF YOU ERROR/CRASH/Quit/leave for any reason and try to rejoin but Fail to because the boss is already dead, You can still get your stuff.Spin the pokespot of the gym. You'll get both stuff from the pokespot and the items from the Raid Battle, and a chance at catching the Raid boss, as usual.Its worked for me on three different occasions so far.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Make sure your phone is set to automatically update the time!!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough, IF YOUR CLOCK IS DIFFERENT TO THE GYMS CLOCK, YOU WILL NETWORK ERROR/ERROR ALMOST EVERY TIME!!!!!!We had a 10 year old kid error out of 3 raids in a row before we worked out her problem. Now she is the proud owner of her first lapras!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GYM Control Bonus - This bonus is given to the team that Holds the gym the LONGEST during the egg hatching timer.NOT who has it last, not who has it first, but who holds it the longest. We tested this at several gyms today and yesterday and its been true thus far. More input would be appreciated however.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Join your local facebook Raid Group and Post all the level 3/4 raids you see. Ask if anyone is going if you want the pokemon. Make sure to tell them where the raid is AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE! Some people dont check facebook very often or have notifications turned on, But do check every hour or so. If you post as soon as the egg appears, you are more likely to have people know where it is and when.Taking a screenshot of the "Nearby raids screen" Will show you in 24 hour time what time the egg pops, so you can organize to be there as soon as it hatches to see what it is.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Be prepared to wait for people! Some people get the notification later than others. Wait 5-20 min from the hatching of the egg before you go in. This will net you the most possible players, and if someone says "Be there in 5" you can wait an extra 5 min. You never know, One day you might be running late and hope someone waits for you!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Finally - Be willing to speak/meet a few of your local players. You are going to see them about a bunch at raids. Its good to know who is who and who is likely to be able to come/will want to come for certain pokemon.I have Social Anxiety and Regular Anxiety to a pretty bad degree. Pokemon Go has been amazing this last week because for the first time since week one, Ive been able to actually meet people doing stuff im interested in, and talk about it without freaking out, because its a subject i know VERY well.Keep in mind - some people aren't so good at socializing, so if you are, Invite other players you see to come stand with the group ect. It means more to us awkward folk than you will ever know. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2uCleZs
