Weird team contribution
I battled an Alakazam raid boss with other 3 people yesterday. I was at level 29. The other Mystic player was in medium 20s. The Valor and Instinct player were above level 30.
I don't think the Mystic player and I dealt 5 times more damage to the Alakazam than the Valor player, but the team contribution just showed that. 7 Pokémon in my line-up even fainted (rejoined the battle once) during the battle. And I used Umbreon, Houndoom and Murkrows plus something else tanky, but probably not dealing that much damage. They weren't max out or powered up to level 30, and was either evolved or caught directly in the wild. I don't have a Tyranitar, though.
That seemed really weird, I don't think a medium 20s player could deal so much damage to the Alakazam without Tyranitars.

I ask because of an experience I had today...I was doing a Lapras raid. It was me (level 38,) someone else I know (level 33) and then 4 players in the low 20s. I said this might be a little rough. She told me we will be fine because all those other players do are raids. She said those are their second accounts and they just use them to raid all day.
If that is the case, I don't doubt they have dozens of raid pokemon. I'm sure they do have 6 level 20+ Tyranitars and Machamps.
Obviously a level 20 Tyranitar wont do as much damage as a 30+, but in the day of raids, I don't think we can just assume a player in the low 20s doesn't have 6 Tyranitars...
What was the Alakazam's charge move? I helped our area's top player (level 38) get a FB Alakazam today. He and an older lady level 31, missed it 3 times. Good chance he was using Tyranitar and she was "just looking for dark-types". When I joined, we beat it with 85 seconds to spare, I used what I had potioned up already, mainly Dragonites and Bite Gyarados. The other higher level players could have fainted real close to the end, the damage tally for each player starts over when you return.
