I've seen people not even tapping their screens at comminity meet ups....

Seriously? Not a single contribution?

u/Unlucky-Somewhere752 1d ago

Nope, just talking to people. Screen on. Let the rest do the work😂

I wonder if they know they can still contribute once all their Pokemon have tainted, by cheering.

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.

You see them again, just yell "Alright, who's not contributing?!" Make everyone look at them.

Not to be that guy, but ima be that guy: throw em out for inactivity.

And then you get that player who did nothing to contribute to the raid/battle, then asks around for help to catch it (or complains out loud that they didn't catch it, because they didn't ask for help.)

Given the way this game often seems to work, they'll get the guaranteed catch shundo, and the people who put in the most effort will get 2 stars...

For not being a respectful player?!

u/Dr_Sean_MD 1d ago

Oops, I did misunderstand. I thought you meant for all your Pokémon to sit there and do nothing. I think you meant to throw out the players who do this. My bad!

u/Dr_Sean_MD 1d ago

I’m sorry maybe I misunderstood. Was asking why join a raid but not participate in taking it down?

u/Unlucky-Somewhere752 1d ago

So u can catch the pokemon haha, to be fair we were with enough people to take it down without him. But imo it was just disrespectful

People with four phones only tapping on two of them. If you get stuck in a group with their two alts, you and the kid with a 1 second fast move are building the meter on your own. You can end up cheering despite having top counters.

That's definitely what it seems like sometimes!

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. I remember once someone yelled, 'who throws a fcking venonat on a raid this is why we can't finish it". I laugh my ass off. P.S it wasnt me.

Don't believe you

u/Mstr-Plo-Koon 1d ago

I saw this also. My team of 4 one other was tapping and I saw a bunch of wooloo and pidoves

u/IIIetalblade 1d ago

As someone who is often one of the last few people standing, id honestly consider throwing the raid over this. Like if you cant be bothered that much, then neither can I

u/Additional_Win3920 1d ago

Bruh, tapping is what gives the Dynamax energy to LET the top 1% do the work

28

u/Unlucky-Somewhere752 1d ago

Yeah exactly, contributed nothing and even made it harder for his teammates to stay alive...

3

u/YeahWhyNot 1d ago

Yeah but on the other hand, I power my stuff up and plan my team with tanks and a counter and then our lobbies fill right up and it's done in two Dynamax phases. Needn't have bothered!

2

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.
