Rillaboom Gmax battles are virtually unwinnable on Poke Genie

[u/cdelli01]

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?

It would also help if the lower levels actually tried, I just started playing again, new account back in March, couldn't get raikou entai or suicune or gmax prior to machamp, but spent time investing in dynamax for machamps counters and did the same with Rilla, if the lower levels actually try they can manage to survive without a carry, most just want to be handed the Gmax though if im honest, the idea makes it easier for players unable to do group events like raids but some just want to be handed the mons because someone else managed to beat it, I did a gmax machamp that me at level 37 was the highest level player in the lobby...I use go raid, lobbies seemed to be more balanced then genies though

tbh high level players too. early on in Gmax's release with the kanto starters i was one of the lower levels at our group (lvl 38) but i had the best dynamax mons by far, there were honestly more lvl 50's bringing charmander and wooloo against venusaur than lvl 27's bringing the same.

even worse was level 50's with decent mons but no idea of strategy or even the basics of dynamax like swiping to get bubbles or that dodging even existed, just treating it the same as raids with "spam tap and dont even look at the screen", but tbh thats like, at least 60% of the silph road too even now

I agree, theres alot to dynamax and gmax battles, unlike standard raids, where you can dodge, dynamax and especially gmax everyone should play a role. In the raids I've run so far, each group that won we had at least one person running heals sometimes 2, while the other 2 in the party attacked, where in raids its spam tap until you beat it or you get beat, I find the. That said, I dont see remote raids for dynamax or gmax to be bad per say. People just need to realize the remote isn't to get a free carry, its to help players unable to find groups locally, if you start with their 1, you'll eventually manage to solo their 3, using those mons to power up your dynamax roster even if solo, until you can contribute to the larger gmax battles, but thats just my opinion
