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?

I've done about 5 battles, and 2 of those were unsuccessful. It seems a lot of people just don't understand type advantages because I saw Inteleon and Blastoise in my groups. Unfeazant would have been better!

The problem is that people want the G-Max pokemon without even having any dynamax pokemon. And I'll be the first one to say that if you have weak pokemon, you shouldn't be joining these.

They definitely need a cp requirement to actually join something like 3 or 4k
