The fact that you CANT do this remotely immediately put me off even attempting this ALSO, this feature is terrible in the resource system. You can’t upgrade the 1000 MP limit, but you’re also limited in how much MP you can accumulate in a day without spending money. On top of that, the fact that you need MP both to enter Max Raids AND upgrade your max Pokémon, along with candy, making it difficult to manage these resources in general. In short, this is a terribly designed feature that’s not worth participating in IMO
@PoGoFanatic
Gigantamax is the biggest F You Niantic has done to it's community since Remote Passes nerf. 99% of it's player base won't be able to battle in these even IF they can get 20+ people
@matgreen4789
Two major Fs from Niantic. 1. Released Gmax way too early. Not time to make a good team you want to power up and lack of available Dmax Pokémon. 2. No communication. Using heal, shields and cheering are apparently very important to beating the bosses. But Niantic don’t give any indication of how we should play. Should have been a warning as to how hard they are and a guide on how to play in the battles.
@TheTumbleFever
It’s really dumb. I can’t even get 5 people to do a normal raid let alone 20+ for a Gmax raid.
@JL1
Dear Niantic, I am not driving 45 minutes (one way) to catch 1-2 Gigantamax pokemon (depending on my free max particles amount) that have no other use outside of the gigantamax feature. Especially with a pretty decent chance of them fleeing and/or being crap. Ill happily skip out on this feature just like dynamax.
@LiamFSkyhunter
These need to be heavily nerfed. We were 15 people and no succes. Edit: They were nerfed and we defeated them with only 13 people.
@enzocruz4386
Niantic failed the community with this update. I can't even take the 3 star dynamax to half health with the amount of Pokemons I have. I have friends, but not enough to even get the 5 star gigantamax anywhere near half health. The other problem is the amount of dynamax Pokemon spawns. Not everyone lives in a place where they're able to have spawns near them. I give this update a massive L from me. 😕
@tanmaipasuparthy7935
Hey mystic! Was amazing to be able to meet you in person and raid with you! Thanks for also including me and my friends in the video 😄👍!
@noahturner7908
6 months later and these still feel impossible
@grietjevanderwerf6987
This is the biggest fuck you niantic has even pulled. As a rural player this is soooo frustrating. We have a raid group here were we usually have 14 accounts. Which is not bad i think, but will not ever give us a chance to get a gigantamax pokemon. Seriously this could be the end for the game for me.
@indominusrex2859
Literally 99% of the players are not able to do this what's eternamax enernatus gonna become? 200 people?
@marioszlatanos6344
I live in Thessaloniki in Greece which is the second-largest city in Greece, and we have a community of around 60–70 players in total, and we were barely able to meet up and find 30 people to do a few raids. Most of our raids failed, and we only managed to do around 5–6 raids in total. Once again, keep in mind that I am living in the second-biggest city in Greece, so no wonder how people can even bring down one of those raids in smaller cities. No need to mention rural areas or villages. Once again, Niatic completely excludes rural players just to make some quick money from a feature which serves no purpose. As it stands now, the only purpose Gigandamax Pokémon have is to just make it easier for you to bring down Dynamax and Gigandamax raids. They are completely useless outside of this feature. So I don't see any reason for them to be that hard.
@KickPushBands
it was pretty bad for me, my first venusaur ran away, and the raids were hard overall. I also think trainers really need to invest into their pokemon to beat this, I've seen way too many gastly, wooloo, and grookeys on my team
@noahiversen5375
@13:30 theres a McLaren Senna in the background, that's dope
@FarmCoreMC
I hope they come back out in a few weeks COMPLETELY reworked. Able to be taken out by smaller groups, give better rewards, and maybe some other things
@itzjud512
This feature is absolutely terrible. Yes I get that gigantimax Pokemon are cool and strong, but they don’t need to be this hard to take down. And Niantic thinks everyone lives in big cities and that everyone has access to a big Pokemon go community. I only live in a small town and I was able to recruit a few people, I think 8 or 9 to join the raid weekend with me and my friend. All of us joined a charizard, and even though that’s the ‘easiest’ one to take down, every Pokemon died in 30 seconds. Either make them easier or allow remote raids for gmax Pokemon. I agree with everything mystic said from 23:20
@MsParisPlays
Not a single person in my area were wasting their time on this. What's the point? You can't use it for anything but the same raids. Waste of time and resources.
@AndTheJets
We in a small community were able to take these down with 15 people with only 4 of us with lvl 40 pokemon with lvl 3 max attack an lvl 1 max spirit. It takes the right strategy and communication
@pintopower2831
This is possibly the worst feature ever added to Pokemon Go to date. INCLUDING REMOTE RAID NERF!!! I live in Louisiana. L O U I S I A N A. There is almost zero active community here, not even in New Orleans. The most I've seen in one of these raids is 3 trainers, and I waited over an hour on the corner of a road on LSU's campus. This is absolutely bewildering to me as LSU has well over 40,000 students. I've written Niantic multiple times about this and have yet to receive an un-automated response. Something truly needs to be done, and I pray Niantic will finally hear us. LET RURAL COMMUNITIES PLAY YOUR GAME NIANTIC. YOU CLAIM CONSTANTLY THAT YOU WANT US TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE, BUT I'VE YET TO SEE IT IN ACTION.
