Raid boss: a level 16 player got a level 20 Quilava

Yes, very obviously per its CP page.

Niantic should make players below level 20 catch a raid boss that is equal to their level.

I do not feel threatened by sub level 20 players getting level 20 Pokémon. There is no real problem, i assume.

Why?

A player under level 20 will get to level 20 in a matter of hours. Let the level 16 player have the level 20 mon. It's not like the game is broken.

Someone posted on out local PoGo Facebook group that a level 15 player got a level 20 Vaporeon from a raid.
So what if it is level 20? Even a level 20 Blissey shouldn't be a problem for 99% of players.

The problem here is that the raid level was lowered to level 5.

A level 5 trainer can enter a raid, leave and then reenter the same active raid as long as they are within the same 3 minute timer battle. Everyone else do the work, their attacters take no damage and then they get to catch the level 20 pokemon to attack gyms or defend gyms without putting in any work.

Imagine a level 5 trainer with a 2000CP tyranitar. These bosses should have been scaled with trainers levels just like egg hatches are.

I find myself smiling, when i think of a hoard of well informed level 5 Players who kill all gyms in their neighbourhood.

My smile vanishes, when i think of bots being able to do the same. But they would still need real players to do the raid and would get noticed.

I agree with this. But for the only purpose of stopping multi-accounts. I don't mind real low level players. But I can't stand the new easy way that Niantic just set to facilitate account traders, spoofers and multiple account players...

I don't see the problem. At least he or she will have a stronger mon to use in raids. Not nearly strong enough to mean something, but still better. Perhaps he'll have fun, stick around, level up and be your T3/4 partner in a few weeks.

Main downsides I see would be future trading...someone levels up a ton of level 5 accounts...join raids with a few of their main accounts...trade all extremely high IV Lvl 20 Tyranitars or whatever to their main...

Ultimately, PoGO is not a competitive/skill based game...Just play it as such and move on...

I'd say change gyms to not even bother defending since it's too easy to tear down now...Give Pokecoins for doing other stuff like 10 great throws in a row, catch 10 mons in 10 minutes, walk 10km a day, whatever...

I'm still waiting for my Pokemon house so I can train and have them battle amongst themselves...Would be nice to see our mon's Battles Won too without having to battle everyone.
