1 damage bonus for doing nothing!?

Hi there,

I wanted to try soloing a machamp raid, and my nephew wanted to get a free chance to catch a Machamp. So he just joined my raid but didn't attack. So there was two of us, but only I did damage. At the end of the raid, my nephew still got +1 individual Damage bonus (while I got +3). How did he get 1 damage bonus when he didn't attack? Was it because he got second place for damage contributed even though it was 0?

Did he just stay in the lobby or in the fight? Is it possible he tapped without telling you?

I should've told him to stay in the lobby. Instead he just dodged the entire time (to reduce damage taken). He said he didn't attack at all, but there is a chance he accidentally attacked every once in a while instead of dodged. But this would be only been a few times I would think as I didn't see his pokemon attacking (only dodging). Also, there's no way he launched a charge attack, he would've noticed and so would I.

150 damage can be easily achieved by using a charge move, so your nephew might accidently used a charge move (like Future Sight) because the bar was full by tanking damage.

By the way, did you rejoin battle right before the end of the battle and the game registered your nephew's damage?

I think the damage-meter is preset on 1. You only get it reset if you faint.

damage meter is buggy anyway. a month ago I helped out another player with machamp. I can solo it she can't (she had a couple of goes first I was there for salvage) yet at the end of the raid she had more damage then me by a fair margin.

Why you didn't do it other way? both fight but you jump out just before end. Then you make your own battle. We have helped some kids to raid and jump out before end. Then we make our own raid.
