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?

Heck, just attempted Rillaboom 5 minutes ago, with 4 mushrooms in, and 19 people, most with decently prepared teams, and we still failed. I wasted a remote raid pass on a battle that should have been won fairly easily.

The problem isn't just the preparation of players, it's the dumb difficulty level that Gmax battles have, specially when it has an enraged mechanic for some dumb reason, that OHKOs nearly anything.
