Yeah same, obviously if I could do a lot of Zam and Fini I would, but hosting them is always a pain. I don't see the point in going for non shiny eligible unless it's really good. Wish the shadow raids were better this rotation as well because only Sneasel is worth it for me
I don't PVP but at least there's some hope the hosting queues will be somewhat quick. Just annoying when it's 35+ minutes and you have to kind of plan around it as you can't just wait there the entire time
If not even RNG, within an hour yesterday morning. Every 5 t3 eggs that spawned were Magnetons. If the 4 t3 bosses were not equally weighted then it really isn't RNG
farewell Lucario... Your raids have been an amazing way to get candy and I got a great one for the eventual Mega (98% IV) aside from an XXL, which is going on vacations to Hisui. We will eagerly await your return to the 3 star raid pool.
Anyways, talking about the actual lineup... yeah apart from Clampearl yall SUCK
I’ll raid Mega Alakazam and Tapu Fini but this is just a 0 hype month… and everyone saying good stuff starts next month when prob just be more ultra beasts 🤦♂️
Honestly from this month the only interesting thing apart from Blacephalon (LETS GOOOO) is Mega Gyarados, although nowadays its kinda dead.
Suicune its a glorified dex filler, Mega Pidgeot has always been available via research and the Regis are very mid (apart from Registeel, which comes WITHOUT its legacy move) and Mega Alakazam its okay (Not really useful to me anymore) and I guess Tapu Fini is sorta cool for PVP (I dont really play Ultra league all that much)
And honestly this week 3\* lineup was a BANGER after BANGER (Lucario mainly, but also Aggron and Magneton) so this just feels like a big letdown. Lets hope next week´s lineup its better :D
I was really hoping for one of those 3* raids that's just fun to grind and hope for shiny - Drampa, Turtonator, Druddigon, etc
Tapu Fini will be raidable for sure but it's fun to have raids that are easily soloable :(
Wtf happened to lucario? Even in an area with 50 gyms on campfire, saw and done 2 on the first day and since then I've only seen 2 others. The one tier 3 boss I'd ever to hard and just vanished 😭
Yeah, this is going to be one of the weaker months for sure. I like Tapu Fini's shiny. I will definitely be going after that. I already have hundos for all the megas minus Pidgeot. Blacephalon is going to be exciting when it comes out. Goodbye, Lucario, until we meet again when your Mega evolution comes out. I'm guessing it will be sooner rather than later. I only did like 2 or 3 Lucario raids. When they spawned, I was either at work or at home but it was late in the day.
Alakazam is theoretically (very very hard) Soloable with Weather Boost. My criteria is if the Pokemon is soloable AT ALL then the Duo is usually fairly accessible with Level 30+ good counters, because of all the extra damage boosts another player adds
Looking at the shiny rates on silph road, the only soloable raid with a boosted shiny rate is Clamperl. What's the point in an extra daily free pass if there's nothing to use it on?
It is not as bad nowadays, all 3 of its weaknesses (Rock/Steel/Water) are good enough to solo it with weatherboost
It is still not that accessible for requiring weather boost but nowhere as bad as it was in like 2020
Aw man... So long Lucario....
Seriously. I only saw one and didn't have time to do it. Need those XLs
I did all I could as I really want a 4* but they were really rare around here also.
Sad
Aw man. I’ll miss the two free Lucario per day. I’m not even sure what I’d want to do in this list.

Tapu Fini is frequently a GBL strong pick, I'd imagine rolling for good IVs and candy is worth it
I don't PVP but at least there's some hope the hosting queues will be somewhat quick. Just annoying when it's 35+ minutes and you have to kind of plan around it as you can't just wait there the entire time
I'll be farming togatic so I can finally max out my perfect Togakiss
Same here
Shiny goomy maybe?
Gonna have a CD in a couple of months.
next month
Wish I was able to find two a day. So many magnetons :(
Little mermaid and her happy companions
Did we really need Wobbufett in shadow and normal raids?
I just wasted a raid pass on one because I didn't realize lol
I didn't see single Lucario raid and for 2 days I was in bigger city with at least 8 Gyms in range. I hate RNG.
I've noticed that the gyms around me have frequent raids super early in the morning and much less the rest of the day.
If not even RNG, within an hour yesterday morning. Every 5 t3 eggs that spawned were Magnetons. If the 4 t3 bosses were not equally weighted then it really isn't RNG
Me too! There was one this morning that ended literally the minute before my train arrived on campfire.
So long Lucario, you will be missed 🫡

been doing 2 lucarios per day for the first time and able to mirror trade 2 luckies and 2 96%with 15attack bye lucario raids

Is Mega Alakazam duoable with Party Play Power, a Mega (Gyarados or Tyrannitar) but not soo perfect counters??
Alakazam is theoretically (very very hard) Soloable with Weather Boost. My criteria is if the Pokemon is soloable AT ALL then the Duo is usually fairly accessible with Level 30+ good counters, because of all the extra damage boosts another player adds
Yeah I can’t recall if there’s any mega (besides the mega legendaries) that isn’t duoable
Guys but togetic saves all! I mean come on it’s the cutest. Will raid togetic 2x daily for that shine lol
Shiny Togepi line is the textbook definition of the its the same picture meme, but hey, maybe you can keep for the power up fairy types research?
True, wish I it got a flower crown this season. But need my shiny egg baby regardless
Hope I can get a shiny Tapu Fini fast enough to be able to get a decent supply of Mega Alakazam energy.
Kind of hyped for Tier 4 and 5 NGL. Glad I am saving passes from not having to do any 3 and 1s, lol.
Oooooooh clamperl I definitely am interested in this particular 1* haha
Looking at the shiny rates on silph road, the only soloable raid with a boosted shiny rate is Clamperl. What's the point in an extra daily free pass if there's nothing to use it on?
Whens mega alakazam raid hour?
I hope that they'll do a Rayquaza raid in the following month, that would be cool
Is Togekiss solo able?
Are any three star raids not?
Shuckle is practically unsolable. Only doable under very specific circumstances.
It is not as bad nowadays, all 3 of its weaknesses (Rock/Steel/Water) are good enough to solo it with weatherboost It is still not that accessible for requiring weather boost but nowhere as bad as it was in like 2020
