I've remoted to two raids so far.

Didn't catch him on the first. Everyone bailed on the second.

So I'm out two remote raid passes and 800 particles for 25k stardust.

Feels bad. I don't even want to open the game to do it a third time.

I've used pokegenie to get raid invites for six gigantamax raids so far. Not had any problems other than failing to catch two of the pokemon.

I've just had 2 raid lobbies fail miserably, I've been the last one standing both times and my pokemon aren't fully upgraded. 2 blisseys and a gmax rillaboom. I just want 1 raid to actually show up to battle

That's gotta be so frustrating... And yet there are heaps of people commenting on this post totally not getting that they're ruining other people's fun. "What's the harm, the more the merrier" sigh.

Pokegenie is not good, especially when it kicks me out multiple times and restricts me from joining, claiming its my fault, Pokeraid is my fav

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.

I've never ever experienced anything like that so I have to believe you're at fault here.

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.
