"We all enjoy hunting high-IV mons, but casual trainers should be strongly encouraged to also hunt high-CP attackers. More raids will be doable at off-peak hours."

#PokemonGO: Most casual trainers level 30-35 have incomplete teams of attackers ; about 2-4 top tier attackers (per raid boss) and then rapidly fall to tier-B or tier-C attackers. Which means they can only do legendary raids in large parties.The worst raid I've ever witnessed was when 6 trainers level 30+ (including 40/37/37) failed a Ho-Oh with 33% remaining HP. I knew they'd fail but I never had enough guts/credibility to tell them they have junk teams.With the weather boosts (and possibly a map/scanner), casual trainers level 30-35 have access to solid attackers which would allow them to enjoy raiding even at off-peak hours, the only thing missing is someone to explain them that high-CP wild pokemons are worth the hunt (until they have a complete team of 6 attackers level 30+).I see the opposite happening every day, many players level 40 set a bad example to others, encouraging the low levels to behave like high levels do (ie: only high-IVs matter). Maybe we feel some sense of parental instinct in advising them not to invest resources in low-IV mons (because we did that mistake in the past and we now regret it). But in the meantime, low-levels are still incapable of assuming raids in small parties, and this lasts for months. By hunting a few high-CP top-tier attackers, they wouldn't even need to consume any stardust to be strongly efficient in raids. Catch it at a high CP, never power it up, but use it at every raid.Examples of attackers that are / were / will be worth catching/keeping at level 30-35 : Omanyte, Exeggcute, Rhyhorn, Eevee (all evolutions), Shroomish, Makuhita, Machop, Geodude, Ghastly, Houdour, Pinsir, Scyther, Jynx, Spheal, Shellder, Walrein, Swinub.I caught these guys randomly, the least a casual trainer could do is keep them and evolve them as ice-type attackers when Rayquaza will be released. Some people would just say "transfer it", this is wrong.tl;dr : http://ift.tt/2E5Tu3e post is kind of a sequel to this post, but I thought this needed to be highlighted in a post on its ownHappy new year ! via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2E3RbO4
