What's the worst Pokemon you've seen people use in raids?

I just saw this today. At least Flareon NVE still does high DPS than Blissey...
And where the hell did those ice blocks come from? Water resists ice.

Gary against Raikou the other day....

There were 13 of us, and when I saw it and asked no one... said a word...

Gary against Zapdos. Then this player said in surprise: "Oh no, my Gyarados fainted instantly!"

...

I see this fairly often actually. In a zapdos raid I did, I saw 3 gyrados's at the same time...

I also saw a Gary yesterday in a Raikou raid. I was shocked.

so was Gary.

Gyarados vs Rhydon, good on paper before I found out it has the purple hurricane of death

Also seen exeggcute and sneasal vs Moltres

Mr. Mime against Charizard

Spearow and moltres against Zapdos.
And of course the mighty gary vs Zapdos.
Took pretty long to beat that Zapdos even with 8 people at lvl30+.

I don't remember the boss. It doesn't even matter. Someone was actually using a Jigglypuff. No, not even a Wigglytuff, a Jiggly!

I've seen alot of bad typings, like an Articuno versus Entei just yesterday, but the majority of these follies are done by young children and I give them a free pass, especially if we're in a large enough group for it not to matter too much.

The most memorable was definitely a Wobbuffet. Youngster again and, when questioned, his reasoning was that "he's awesome because he reflects the damage back!".

Low level players without a Blissey often get Wobuffet auto-selected; most frequently in Lugia Raids.

Charmander attacking into Blastoise.

The ones in the loading screen

Hahahaha

There is a 50 metres tyranitar!
Better send Pikachu Norris!

This... lol (and the person using the weedle went on to catch a 96% arti)

I saw a woobuffet, but yours is better

good Weedle you have there. you should power it up though.

"I'll use my flareon vs Charizard because flareon doesn't take a lot of damage from Charizard fire attacks!"
- 10 y.o. Who was attempting to defend their stance to their brother

The level 37 and above players that only got to that level since Raids came out, Ca$huals. Time and time again I've heard in various communities they don't even know what to use and that they just actually use what's suggested. So if their counter to the Raid Boss is fainted or not fully healed, the next fully healed Pokemon will be suggested to include Blissey.

At least auto-select takes typing into consideration even if it prioritizes survival and most choices are garbage at attacking. The auto users at least aren't overriding it to make an even more terrible choice.

Being halfway to the endgame at that point by level, you'd imagine they would know what to do by now. Blisseys don't do anything for the team. Same with Chansey and those are always auto-selected.

This

I've seen both Garry against zapdos and dragonite against articuno. It still hurts a bit to think about it.

Nice teammates

Spoofer
And your ZH/DG Blissey isn't any better. Entei resists DG.

I downloaded this pic from elsewhere dude.

Looks like Blissey has left a purple turd behind herself.

Vaporeon vs. Zapdos

She said that she thought she was batting a Moltres, lol.

My old friend(s) was using Noctowl in Snorlax raid, probably saw worse but i can't remember others

Feraligator versus a Zapdos. I still smile when I think about that one.

Blissey. We had 5 players all 30+ and I had 4 double fighting Machamps 2350+. So I felt confident going in. We had it down to almost nothing and ran out of time. Since we went in with 4 minutes left that was our only chance. I was pissed to see not 1 but 2 Blissey in there.

I've seen a Noctowl in a Zapdos raid. But that was a second team for a level 20 player. Blissey in a Ttar raid by a level 30+ player when you barely time out in is worse. Much worse.
