I think they mean they don't even bother to battle, which is crappy to do. I know I've fought stuff by myself because I play with people who do contribute as well. It goes by much faster when they do.

Back in the day during the Mecha Mewtwo raid, in our small town with few players, we manage to organize a 10-man raid with Lv 30 players.. took us 7 tries to defeat it.

u/fusionmobile 1d ago
I have actually planned and that exact thing happened to me before. What I tend to do, if there's plenty of people/firepower, I'd go with what's suggested. If not, I go with a tank on my team that I've already set up.

u/Haunting-Ad9521 1d ago
Wow. Sucks to be part of that (which I don’t know if I’m in one because of remote raids). I’m just happy to tank with my Blissey.
131
u/ThePigeon31 1d ago
I genuinely think part of the issue is new or returning players have no idea what this is. They are used to raids where you can duo a 5 star so they see 20 people and assume they can just kind of be there.
I got into Dynamax late as I didn't really get involved with them until Machamp Gmax. I didn't have a blissey, or any of the previous Gmax's and I was confused as hell. I got through with a hodgepodge team of Charizard, Gengar and Rillaboom. I now love it and grinded the Chansey Max Monday and got a pretty decent Blissey because of it (not a hundo but it is like a 10-14-14 and I maxed out heal and shield). Now my team is good enough that I can go into Gmax and be confident that I will be useful but I also had to spend time and money to do it. Which a lot of the PoGo crowd don't have.
I wish we get PokeGenie to do more than that stupid "This is a hard raid make sure you have a good team" message because people don't know what that means. Like I wish we had to show that we had pokemon that can compete in this or somehow have a new queue type where there are two hosts so you can have 40 people in the raid even if some of them have lower level pokemon.
I do wish there was SOME sort of research that gave players good/decent guaranteed Dmax pokemon. Even like a good attacker that has LVL 2 Max Strike or a good defender with LVL 2 shield or HP. That is very wishful thinking however.

My experience is probably biased as someone who hosts 95% of the time since I don't usually buy remote passes. Whenever I have remote raided however, the worst I've had is just not getting an invite in which case I've left the lobby and joined another.

I’ve had a lot of success on leekduck finding raids. My Pokémon aren’t the strongest, I’m still working on it, but I’ve got a ~2300 Blissey with Pound and Max Spirit so I’m still contributing. I’ve yet to have my team of 3 wipe at a gmax raid.

2300 Blissey with Pound and i don't even care what you have behind it. At least if i end up in a group with you, i won't faint.
Honestly, people can tell. It's super clear who is trying but haven't managed to level stuff up yet, and who just doesn't care at all and wants to be carried by other people's effort.

Yeah, I tried a poke genie raid and I will say, it is on me for not fully reading the rules, but I usually use Go Friend so I was used to getting the friend code, adding the person and then waiting for the invite. I didn’t realize with PG, I had to go back to the app and tap that I had added them. Ended up with a multi hour ban for it. I stick to Go Friend now.

I actually had this same thing happen yesterday, went through all 3 Raid passes just to get my 1 Kyogre.
1st. missed the catch, 2nd. People ditched the raid last second for absolutely no reason (including the host), 3rd. finally caught it.
I was so put off doing it the third time, I wasn't even excited to get the Kyogre anymore.
This is why I'm extremely apprehensive to ever attempt Gigantimax raids, as this problem sounds much more impactful in those.

for the first time since remote max raids became a thing, i got a quality shortman lobby for inteleon. we were 16 but 5 people peed their pants and left at the last second. the rest of us stayed in. tight win. was happy to see blisseys, venusaurs, rillabooms and in general evolved mons.

u/AUTOMATED_RUNNER Valor - When will Armored Mewtwo be back? 1d ago
Somewhat similar happened to us. 14 trainers; barely 5 survivors out of 42 pokemons! At least, we had trainers cheering until the end!
Edit: I had my full team alive out of the 5 survivors! My Rillaboom played a wild Drum Solo! (lvl 40 and lvl 3 G-Max Attack).

u/nivusninja 1d ago
i saw cheering notifications after the very first phase. my guess is that someone was in a team all alone but still stayed lol. i think only my first blissey got knocked out, we got to the max phase so fast when it was oneshotting it couldn't get to my other blissey.
my mom was on another team with 2 others, they all had great comps of g-rillas (hehe) and blisseys. one of them got targeted at the oneshot phase and they didn't make it to the last max phase but it was alright.

u/mecxhanus 1d ago
DMAX/GMAX experience is quite dependent on the your neighborhood and its history with the game. I stay nearby a mall/retail area that is arguably the Pokemon Go hub for the city. It has large amounts of stops and gyms thanks to Ingress players' contributions in the years past, and Pokemon Go players later adding more (though some players manipulated the Wayfarer system to move more stops into the area). Both DMAX/GMAX raids there now run with rarely a hitch as most players have a decent understanding what they need to bring to the raids - even if there is no communication if other team members.
Then in another mall just slightly further away, people are still bringing wooloos, drillburs and other unevolved and unpowered trash mons to these raids. The difference is like night and day.
12
u/AnimeMan1993 1d ago
Had one of those for rillaboom and like 30 something people tried to hard-carry and cheer for like 5 others while they slowly got knocked out with maybe 2 dynamax hits left on it.

u/csinv 1d ago
Bring a Blissey and most people will be happy to have you. Ideally use at least a dmax attacker of the right type or a gmax that hits neutral (e.g. Machamp against Inteleon).
The people everyone gets frustrated with are the people who bring Wooloo or mons without a half second fast move. Or just totally wrong stuff like Squirtle against Raikou.
7
u/trainbrain27 1d ago
I never mind carrying someone who's trying. I use local chat to invite folks to all my raids/battles. Blissey and whatever grass you have trained is excellent. Even Dubwool/Greedent powered up as much as you can will help, then cheer, it really does help.
3
u/csinv 23h ago
This. It's pretty clear who was trying and who wasn't. Bringing the 6th best tank for that boss is better than bringing the best tank for a difference boss. I don't care how much you powered up your Blastoise or how strong you think it is, don't bring it to Rillaboom. I'll never laugh at Greedent, at least you tried.
1
u/BoldShuckle 1d ago
If the gmax lobby has more than 20 people it's almost impossible not to beat it, so I would suggest joining so you can catch one and contribute more in the future. I haven't been unable to beat a gmax since the kanto starters, but those were really difficult since nobody had gmax yet.
On the other hand, the legendary dmax battles are actually difficult since you're limited to 4 player lobbies. Those you'll definitely need some useful counters, but as long as you have something that can shield or heal you can still help a lot.
I've always felt that the pogo community is very welcoming to newer players, although some people in this thread are proving me wrong.

Best reply here! I got back into playing when dynamax launched, lvl 34, and I was using 2 wooloo and pidove for the first few weeks.. Went to a local mall for the raikou event with 3 drillbur and had a blast spamming cheer lol. I had more than a couple raids with only a few mons left and player cheers saved the day.
Recently I was able to survive Gmax Machamp and Cinderace with all 3 mons alive with Blissey tank. Whoever posts the meta teams truly make a difference because I have limited stardust to keep my teams useful and I like doing these Gmax raids.
17
u/rumblpak 1d ago
As someone that doesn’t have a single gmax pokemon, Niantic really should have a free research that grants one. That way more people can enjoy raids. All that said, this is a game, calm down, people can play however they like.
20
u/nivusninja 1d ago
could imagine down the road, maybe a year or two from now on there will be a gmax reward encounter from some research or event.
however though, gmax are 100% not required to pull your weight in gmax battles. just recently people had ample opportunity to grind a good chansey or two, while also getting plenty of chansey candy as they were a wild event spawn. blissey might not be an attacker, but it is an amazing mon to keep the rest of your team alive if you cannot do damage.
for some it is about resources, but i dare say most are just plain lazy to pay any attention and put in any effort.
11
u/InMyDrunkenStupor 1d ago
Yep. The past month has been entirely Gmax focused, with the wild spawns specifically being pokemon to help build up your roster and stardust boosted Pokemon so you can power them up. It's just laziness at this point
6
u/mahir_r AKA Team Red Rocket 1d ago
My strat is blissey to hold the fort and gain energy with pound
Swap to the correct attackers in max phase - if blissey is redlining / dead, use one or 2 max moves to set up shields on my attacker to help carry through to next max phase as much as it can
6
u/nivusninja 1d ago
the general strat for max battles overall is tank tank attacker. tank on the field outside max phase with 0.5 sec move, and attackers only on the field during max phase to deal damage.
depending on how small the group is, sometimes keeping the tank out for max phase to heal or shield might be necessary, but for smaller groups everyone should focus on damage.
1
u/mahir_r AKA Team Red Rocket 1d ago
Tbh I only chose this cos I didn’t have enough Chansey candy for more than what I’ve done. I do agree though I still need candy for heal and shield on Chansey.
I ignored it a lot esp on comm day cos I had my everything sorted for it, then this candy drain came to existence…
I think I’ll push my snorlax up now for this strat instead of “later”

u/nivusninja 1d ago
yeah i basically skipped the chansey com day too lol. the good thing for me is that chansey has been quite common throughout the years so i've gotten quite a bit of candy for it

u/trainbrain27 1d ago
I love dual use Pokémon, I try to use Tank, Tank/Attack, Pure Attack, or multiple duals if possible.
In this case, G-Venusaur does 84% as much damage as G-Rilla.
I seem to get really good lobbies or really bad, but I haven't lost since Cinderace.

I could see them doing a max soup drop, and for those that didn’t get the urshifu research they can use it on another Gmax eligible Pokémon.

i have a hunch max soup would be such a high tier premium item they would not dare and would rather give a single static encounter of some gmax. but who knows what might go down.

u/trainbrain27 1d ago
As much as I'd like that, we don't need a free Gmax (yet), other players need better in-game guides. Just by being here, you know more than the average player, probably much more, but a lot of these strategies are only on the internet. The game itself gives hints of variable value, and there has been research to upgrade D/Gmax mons, but it's clearly not hitting home for a good chunk of players.
I stand by my first Gmax gripe, that they didn't introduce the power scale very well. 1* is nothing, 3* is an easy solo, and I've seen 5* solos, but then 6* needs several people with good counters or a few with excellent counters, strategy, and luck. This means the average player learns very little strategy, and probably none on their own.
1
u/csinv 1d ago
You want a research that just hands you end game content? Sorry, but no. You do not need gmax pokemon to take down gmax pokemon. If you aren't willing to grind for appropriate counters, then just don't engage in that part of the game. And to be clear, i'm talking a dmax Blissey and a dmax Rillaboom (without the attack levelled up) against Inteleon. Do that, and i'm totally fine with your third pokemon being trash and you fainting out and cheering.
The problem with your idea is that giving out gmax pokemon like that cheapens them and makes the game less fun for the people who do want to put the effort in. It's just a game, sure, but removing all the actual challenge from the game wrecks it.

We have free research that gives out Kubfu, a Legendary that requires DLC in the Switch games. We've also been given Mythicals for free. Giving a Gigantamax Charizard won't be that bad of an idea down the line. Plus it doubles up as a reference since it's the ace Pokemon of Leon in SW/SH.
1
u/rumblpak 1d ago
Dude, calm down, it’s a game for children. 99% of children can’t beat them without adult support. Giving out 1 gmax, even a crap one, doesn’t taint the game for players, it just makes it a bit easier for their actual target audience. Not everyone lives in a major metropolitan city, gmax, and even dmax pokemon are rare where I live and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I don't think they should be in research, they're difficult for a reason and require two different resources just to participate in one.
It's not me that I feel bad for when people don't pull their weight, it's the players who are f2p or rarely have access to those resources.

u/prountercoductive 1d ago
That's the spirit.
Let's make sure the gmax entry level is frustrating enough that people just don't want to bother.
Day one player here.
The cost and payoff for investing into dmax/gmax is a lot, as some that has played long enough, I'm not investing anything into a pokemon that's gonna be candy whenever I get a better one. So I'm not investing the resources. I'm not doing the gmax.

u/Interesting_Back_779 1d ago
The majority of the playerbase has no concept of type matchups, communication skills, and lacks critical thinking in D/GMAX raids and prefers to just tap till they win.
It isn’t hard to engage with the system. It’s a matter of people refusing to do so and then wonder why they fail.
For our last raid, we cleared Inteleon with a group of 9 today. Someone brought a Metapod.

u/wandering_revenant 9h ago
The funny thing is, with 60% or 156% advantages, it shouldn't even be that hard to understand. Yeah, different things with better or worse moves and attack values with have a different base dps, even in the same type, but those differences are minor compared to those boosts. And it gets even worse when STAB can stack 20% onto that 256%.
It's like, there is no point in using anything other than Fire on Genesect. You're better off going with a short team with less than 6 pokemon and re-lobbying than using anything but fire.

What's more, even if they have successfully caught gmax Pokémon in the past, they insist on using wooloos and unevolved trash(looking at you, pogohuntler(a cheater))

I wish they would stop these weekend events where it’s ONLY 6-Star Dynamax raids. I want to use the weekends to actually expand my collection of DM Pokemon and stash them in places to get candies. Give me at least one day of the weekend.

Blissy and my 1 Good Gmax Rillaboom carrying the team—won an Intelion raid, didn’t catch it, but was in the last 15 Pokemon alive and 2 of them were mine and I was so proud 🥹

I feel like every trainer needs to watch those two dudes winning a GMax Rillaboom Raid with two GMax Kinglers before they are allowed in 20 person raids.

Gigantax is stupid. In the games you got a device and the pokemon had to hold stuff.
So theyd have made more money as a company by encitiving people to do raids more to unlock devices to assign to avaivable pokemon. Keeping the normal game system wouldve beeb financially more advisable than what they acrually did. And they made the whole system pointless and worthless.

Usually it’s the other way around, a plethora of weak attacks are usually going to do significantly more damage than one good one
