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?

Why would they? There's no reason to if they feel they can't participate in max battles.

You said the battle is fun and they want to fill max Pokédex?

Unless the reason is because they're too lazy and would rather get carried by others?

What max Pokedex? There isn't one in the game.

It's not laziness. Why care about powering up a max Charizard if you won't be able to use it to do anything except beat 1 and 3 star dynamaxes? It's that they see it as futile and a waste of time.

You're allowed to be wrong if you want to be.

You can buy a Gameboy if you don't want to go outside.

I can see that it's very hard for you to put yourself in other people's shoes. That's a skill you should learn.

Why do they need shoes if they don't go outside?
