It was a pleasure raiding with you and everyone who came out in DC earlier today! I was one of the few ppl who caught a 98 and got a “where’s my Hundo?!” pin. Hope to be able to catch you at another event some time in the future!
Might be the only person to say this but elite raid was fun today ..did 25 in total and 2 shiny …it was fun zooming around town doing raids with the community …everyone would get off there cars during the 15 min breaks and talk then caravan the raids had like 15+ cars following each other the whole time 😅
I did 2 raids, there were people in the lobby when I happened to be nearby, and one of them was an 84% shiny. The raids are kind of a joke, though. They’re full lobbies, but there’s *no one around*. Literally, it’s just me, nobody else is playing. Everyone is spoofing.
but how many of those 100 people would have come out if they had not been forced to by the Elite Raid system?? Most probably have a life and other necessary things they needed to do and would have preferred the option to join remotely
I was blessed to be let out an hour early from work and was able to last minute make this event, which i did want since my only mega ray was traded to me and was 1 star (which its Rayquaza itll be good even as a nundo but still). I caught 4 raids, one ran, 1 two star, one three star, and one shiny three star. And i started the day with a shiny Meltan from the research. Im sorry that they were elite raids and not a lot of people could go, but i hope those that did make it had as good luck as i did today.
Looks like you and the others had a great day! Congrats on both catching a shiney! Me and my group went around with bikes and caught a bunch of them. I do have to say it sucked that Niantic didn't have them appear 24h before which would have made planning a lot easier and less stressful. Luckily me and my friends found out a day prior that the elite raids inside the city were super shit since they were too far apart. Several hours before the first ones would hatch we discovered a park around a lake which luckily had a lot more of them, so we informed everyone where to go and cycled around the park for the raids.
Since I got so many during GoFest23 last year, I wasn't too worried about this. I ended up doing just one and it was a 6pm one. It was still a good showing, 12 people for the first raid right at 6pm and had a group of 7 for the rest of the time. I enjoy Elite Raids because I live in a small town so Elite Raids are far and few between but the plus of that is it brings more people together. However, I usually want to be there right on time because if I miss that first group, it's difficult to have enough people for another raid. This Mega Rayquaza raid was probably the most challenging raid I have done. Overall though, I'm happy I was able to get 2 Meteorites from completing both sets of tasks.
the most messed up thing about these being elite is they are mega raids you usually have to do more than one to unlock a mega, so for a lot of new players doing these they will have to try do to not just one elite but multiple.
i got a shiny hundo finally!!! i missed last years rayquaza raids and i got blessed w shundo and a 95 ray as well :3 also went 16/16 and caught every one!!!
Ima say that my Ray day was awesome! I only did 11 raids with my community and I got 2 shinies! First raid of the day and on the 7th raid. The 4th raid, I got a 98 ray and a friend caught a hundo 💯
bro, I hate elite raids, in my town almost no one plays pokemon go. Even if there is, most of them cheat using fake GPS or spoofing. So it was quite difficult to find raid friends, I even drove tens of kilometers to the next city to raid Rayquaza and it wasn't too cool, man, I only had time to fight in 2 raids and only brought home 1 Rayquaza, because the elite gyms were far from each other. I mean I have to go back and forth between the eastern and western cities so most of my time is wasted on that
I almost didn't do these raids today but I'm really glad I did. Had such a great time! I got 1 decent shiny. Wife got 2 shinys and my daughter got a shiny and a HUNDO!
@bubbleisbad I'm sorry to hear that my guy I feel for the rural players. Niantic is to blame anyway for false advertising rayquaza from the beginning as a raid day.
I was kinda lucky 19 ppl were doing the elite raids near me Edit: I got 2 rayquazas, but they are both 2 stars which I found very common and now I got 625 mega energy
I dislike elite raids but I finished today with a hundo, an 89, a 96, a shiny 93, and a raid nundo! 7 raids total done, and someone traded me a shiny yveltal for a normal rayquaza
If you guys are lucky friends, you and princess that is. Could you guys trade them as long as they have dragon accent and then mega the luckies. With out needing another meterorite?
Usually more elite eggs available in my areas but could only find and do 2 this time finding out last minute only the 1pm and 6pm ones available wasting time and battery life both times and then 2nd raid app closes on me having to restart and we lose by a few hits/ seconds then barely winning 2nd try by few seconds so not enough mega energy to mega evolve sadly
Did 17 raids, no shinies and nothing even in the 90%’s. I’ve played on and off over the years and this was my first chance to get Rayquaza. Sucks I won’t have another for a long time….
@@no_u_420 I have lots of best friends in my local community who have played heavy over the years but Rayquaza is very limited everyone’s only got so msny
I don't know how peoples are getting so much shiny or hundos ?! I did a total of 10 raids and i managed to catched only 2 times. Not even a single shiny or hundos 😡😡 Total waste of time and pokemon coin 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I was able to do around 15, sadly no shiny which is really all i wanted. but at least i got a 96% which is quite good. I had a glitch where i couldnt rejoin the raid after i died so i tried leaving, but it didnt work so i restarted my game but by that time it was done so i had to start a new one but everyone left. sadly missed two as well as i came right as everyone left
Stupid Niantic! That day was circling around my area at Georgetown, Penang and I only found three eggs from 5pm to 6.30pm! Managed only fight two as the other one is at private property!
Elite ride is very difficult to catch the pokemon and i sm not able to catch the pokemon for 8 ball ,2 rides as wasted my pass after that i got ⭐✨, i try 15 ride to get 100iv , but itgetonly iv is 93😢😢
I was hoping to catch Raq. But when I loaded it up and seen it was 88k cp with the lack of local players it was never gunna happen for me 😢. I play for free and never spend money on the game and Niantic stuffed up because I was going to purchase remote raid passes to get Raq.
Dude.. I got to do one elite raid then I needed to wait a whole 4 HOURS.. I got 200 mega energy fr9m that raid and it won’t be coming back for a while💀🙏
Well atleast u didn't deal with what I dealt with I defeated a mega ray raid and it showed 2739 cp which is hundo cp and I freaked out but when I went to catch it was 80 cp off and it was a crappy 2 star the game forced me to get a bad iv 1 instead of the hundo
Niantic never fails to f*** things up.

Ya I jumped in a raid middle of nowhere and there was 12 ppl in the lobby but wouldn’t let me join
You realize people are in cars and buildings, right?
Niantic actually just killed a huge method of spoofing so it’s more likely people are just nearby and out of sight
thanks for hosting! it was quite a productive day!
Had over 100 people come out of everywhere in my city where we met up. Got 18 rayquaza raids in total, and I got a hundo!
nice
but how many of those 100 people would have come out if they had not been forced to by the Elite Raid system?? Most probably have a life and other necessary things they needed to do and would have preferred the option to join remotely
I got all 2 star🫤 at least I got a shiny first raid
Had a great day here in West Texas! Love our community! Met new people! raid lobbies full!
That’s crazy man I didn’t even see any raids
Yeah they have to be elite raid gyms and how niantic chooses is stupid
Eggs for elite raids WILL NOT ever spawn unless the gym in question is a EX raid gym, most people don’t get eggs because the gyms are not EX eligible.
