So frustrated with morning Blastoise raid: Multi-account players and spoofer didn't help much ;(

Submit Feedback or Error

24k CP Blastoise and 5 people, including me, joined the raid.

Me: Venusaur, 2x Exegguters, 2x Dragonites and Electabuzz. [I don't have good Electric PKM (so sad). They all have high IV from hatches and are powered up at decent levels] Others: mostly Dragonites, Tyranitars (WTF), Gyaradoses (WTF) and Vaporeons (WTF).

I told them to use Electric and/or Grass type PKM but they had no idea. I even showed them the pictures of Jolteon, Venusaur, Exeggutor, Victreebel, etc. but they just entered the fight without any of them. :P

The first fight was close to a victory when Blastoise only had about 1/20 HP when timeout. I believed I managed to take away 1/4 of his HP. The second and third ones went downhill as we didn't have time to select good PKM and lost our spirit.

The people are all at my parents' age because young guys were probably sleeping in till noon. :P Perhaps next time, luck will smile upon us and give us other 4* bosses of types other than Water.

[I hoped multi-account players and spoofers were much better than this. Well... :P]

So one played on two phones? And 2 were spoofers?
Or 5 in person and at least anither spoofer?
I tried playing on teo phones, my account and kid one, horrible, late charge mives, even missed one, I think is better just to focus on one account.

5 people in total. Except me, the rest all have multiple accounts: a married couple who have 5 different accounts, the other 2 guys have at least 3 accounts each and the last guy is a spoofer who joined the fight from his office. However, each of us played with only one phone. Had it not been Blastoise, we could've won the match. The other people only know to use Dragonites, Tyranitars, Gyarados and Machamps for attacking :(

Probably 2 other players, 1 of whom was using 2 phones, and 1 spoofer.

4 people including me stayed close together at the Gym. The other guy was playing from his office. 1 person 1 account at a time.

IMO don't bother with blastoise raids...no one actually cares about it, so you will get very little help. Only do it if you have established a team and do raids together.

Even charizard raids have more people.
Universal rule: Only noobs go for blastoise raids. So, don't be surprised when you see other people using crap attackers.

If only we had more choices. There's only 1 accessible gym in my city of 2 million citizens. The other gym is an amusement park where you have to pay to get access to it.

Also rarely do we have 4* raids here so we would seize every single chance to win them for the good prize. :)

4* Raids don't guarantee good prizes, I've got 4x rare candy, revives and golden razz for quite a few times. It might be a better idea to try level 3s you can solo (or take down with 2), in which you can pretty much get the same prizes. (Does this gym spawn more than 1 raid a day?)

I saw heaps of posts about it on GamePress but this was my first 4* raid. I just wanted to experience the difficult battle. Now I know I stand no chance of winning 4* raids with teammates who have no idea of optimal PKM selection for Bosses.

Out of my 11 raids (1-3*), I've got only 1 Fast TM and some Rare Candies and Golden Razz Berries. That's it! And that FTM went to change my Steel Wing Dragonite/Hyper Beam to a Dragon Tail/Hyper Beam one. ;(

I heard that there are at most 2 raids per day at that gym. However, I only play in the morning when I do 10 km jogging/walking so I'm yet to be able to join more than 1 raid per day. Some days, I don't fight raid boss at all because there are no raids within 2.5 hours of my exercise routine.

I live in a small city in Vietnam. :)

Looking at the bottom left corner, the blue pyramid icon is the only gym accessible to me and it's 5 km away from my house. About 2.5 km from it, the yellow pyramid icon, is the gym to which I have to pay to get access.

I was at a lapras raid last week, there were 9 people. The moveset was Water Gun/Ice Beam.
I saw many people using Snorlax, Blissey, Chansey, Vaporeon, Slowbro, Gyarados, Lapras, and even Dragonite.
We only managed to defeat the Lapras with 10-20 seconds remaining, thanks to these people.

:) I just wish people had listened to me on choosing the right PKM for the raid. If we all had chosen good Boss counters, we could've won the match. Better lucl next time then.

Best of all, when I was at a different Lapras raid, I was using Jolteon, so were a few other players.
I heard someone saying, 'Why so many people using jolteon? They die so fast!'

There's some truth to that though; Jolteon might hit hard but they're glass cannons. One charge attack and they're down and with the amount of lag while raiding, you can't dodge. Ampharos is my choice of Lapras counter.

Battling starter Pokémon is just a waste of a raid pass!

On another note.....Blastoise with FC? Who the hell is it countering? Not grass type or electric types.

I guess they added because matches Blastoise's pumps :)

Lol, FC is even NVE to electric.
And also NVE to fire, which you would probably be using Blastoise for.

I believed the Blastoise had Bite/Hydro Pump. Hydro Pump is too quick to dodge so even my Venusaur and Exeggutors couldn't survive 2 Hydro Pump. Furthermore, Bite caused my Exeggutors so much trouble.

If the group is big, then the problem is only for you and maybe your team mates for taking less bonus candues. If the fight is lost than this can be a problem you creaye for all the others.

Well, you may enjoy the battles your own way. However, just think for a second how frustrated your teammates will be after they lose a battle that they could've won. If only everyone took the game seriously! ;)
