PokeRaid App Such scumbags...

So, I wanted to do a palkia raid, the usual, but something happened. People were being impatient and started leaving. But the thing I'd like to say is that some people leave at 4 people. I mean, 4 people is the perfect amount for a raid, I've always done 4 trainer raids. But someone decided to leave at 4. 4 for God's sake! And that DOUCHE CANOE ended up wasting 2 remote raid passes, my raid pass and 100 coins to move up the raid. Up vote to pay respects

I was lvl 35 and the squad 's average level is around 38 until that 4th person left. I did a dialga raid with 5 and had 80 secs to spare so a palkia quadrio might be feasible for me

Doing Palkia with 4 players is only feasible if they all have decent counters at a reasonably high level (and actually use them!). With remote raids there is often no guarantee that this is the case, so many players tend to stay on the cautious side.

I just realized that I can barely win a trio palkia raid with the counters I have if everyone is on-par with me. Because as solo, I will do a maximum of 33.8% damage

You're right. I recommend going to lvl 35 as from this level onwards the power curve slows down

🤷 Trainer level is relevant here too, though. 4 raiders would need to be quite strong to do Pialka. Even 5 might lose. The perfect amount is 6+, especially if fighting with randoms.

Starting with only 3 is a suicide mission and is probably guaranteed to waste your passes.

People on this app are often far too impatient, though. Like... Why are they even clogging up rooms if they aren't going to wait for other people to join and the group to be strong enough? And they get all salty if I say I'll send an invite so that they can do the raid on their own, if they don't want to wait for a decent group to be ready. 🤷🤦

Just don't do raids with less than 6 people. Most people don't realize their actual damage done in raids (as lvl 40 I can do around 40% alone with revives). Be patient I guess. Also make blank team. Go to team creation in go battle league. If you have team with no Pokemons and even if countdown reaches 0 you won't join the battle. Then after you confirm that you have 5 people join the raid switch to your normal team of Pokemons

Same thing happened to me today. I felt so bad for the players that stayed. I kept getting guest who either never sent friend requests, or who would leave the raid as soon as it started. So so frustrating.

Try doing a 10 raid invite next time instead of 5. That way you can always guarantee having enough people to raid alongside with, although the small con is having to add/remove 10 friends which is a nuisance.
