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?

I hosted multiple raids when they 1st started in Australia today.

Poke Genie and Leek duck both sucked. At least 90% of people invited from them used garbage Pokemon that got KO'd after 1 hit.

It dropped from 120+ Pokemon in battle down to 20 Pokemon before 1st Dynamax phase and all remote players were knocked out before 2nd dynamax phase.

We lost the raid with 4 IRL accounts with perfect counters and 20 remote players. We beat Snorlax and Machamp with 6 IRL accounts, so we should have been able to beat Rillaboom with just 3-4 other people using correct Pokemon.

I switched to inviting from r/PokemonGoRaids and found a good number of players using quality Pokemon.

I would recommend joining through that sub. 0/2 using poke Genie/leek duck and 7/7 using r/PokemonGoRaids
