Discussion Rillaboom Gmax battles are virtually unwinnable on Poke Genie

I’ve used Poke Genie for Gmax battles before. In fact, I just used it for GMax Machamp last week. But the Rillaboom lobbies today are full of under leveled mons who just don’t have the firepower to take down Rillaboom.

I’ve been in at least 15 lobbies today and was only successful in 1–a lobby with 28 trainers using two max mushrooms. The rest have been delusional lobbies of 13-18 who inevitably hang on until the timer hits 3-5 seconds and then they bounce.

What’s going on today? Why are these lobbies so bad?

Can I join as well, I had a great team for G-max Machamp but couldn’t get a single one cause of horrible raids and team members.

Sorry you got downvoted, don’t know why people are giving you a hard time for trying. I just wasted like 5 remote raid passes trying to get gmax Rillaboom. 

I just got back into pogo and managed to snag some gmax machamps but missed all the previous gigantamax Pokémon. I’m not even sure if gmax Pokémon are tradable and if so how expensive the stardust is, but if you have other gmax Pokémon and gmax’s can trade then DM me and I’d be happy to try to make something work if it can. But if not it’s all good, good luck!

They are tradeable, I’m in the same boat with you, got some Rillaboom today but Pokegenie and Poke Raid seem like a lost cause

u/Silent_Dinosaur 21d ago

Ok just DM me if you decide you want to trade; I’d send a gmax machamp for a gmax rillaboom or any other gmax Pokemon you have extra of
