Solo it. It’s only “impossible” because no one’s done it yet.

Last time, there was 1 other person, and we spent 30 minutes jumping in and out, desperately waiting for more (there’s usually 3-4 people contesting that gym). This time, I was 🎵 all by myself 🎵

Same. I’ll never have one. Sigh.

It’s pouring rain where I’m from, I was amazed that people showed up 😂

I’m not rural but feel your pain, I work til 3 then have family plans both times so miss the 5pm also
OrionDestroyer90
Yep.
I feel you.
I went to the few gyms with hoopa raids… I was the only one.
No one is playing in-person raids here.
I’m always the only one here with my phone in the streets playing po-go. The gyms always have Pokémon in it. Maybe everyone spoof here in my city

At least we can get Hoopa Unbound from the research. I hope they don’t release any Elite Raid exclusive Pokemon in the future 🙁

I’m in a city and STILL didn’t get more than 3 people at a raid…
jaythememeguy
Last time they were around I was at a park battling it with five other players but still lost

I gave up the moment when I saw 20 players attempting to beat Hoopa and having a hard time on youtube. That was the day when this raid came out.
paradoxLacuna
Sounds like a lotta Hoopa.

damn Niantic’s really about to make me do something no one has been able to in a while… be social 😫
DiekeanZero
Yeah this event is some serious BS. Got in Raid Discord and turns out you can’t even remote pass him. The hell backwards shit is that? 😅
They wonder why people use spoofing software.

It’s nice to know some people feel my pain

It’s simple, buy 7 more phones and grow 6 new arms.

Don’t get too upset guys. I was at a raid with 8 people and we couldn’t even get it down to half health

Niantic have made bad choices this year. Elite raids are unfair for people living in small towns like myself. I tried it solo last month and it was a waste of time, didn’t come close to defeating it.

So true

Sleeting here and below 30 degrees temperature. Nobody is doing the Elite Raids at all. Not even by vehicle.

Don’t worry, I went to a hoopa raid in a big city and every time I tried to join said raid, the game errored out “can’t fetch raid details” It was very frustrating and no hoopa for me.

2 in my tiny town, both 0 people.

I wish they would put the number of people in the lobby above the gym. I walked to the gym only me and another person with 5 minutes to go a few cars pull up and beat it as I saw the confetti but I was never in the lobby at the same time.
obvi_notagolfer

My 80k population city has no top raids. Crys

I still have my Hoopa from the Misunderstood Mischief Special Research, and I can attest that the Change Form button is present for that Hoopa as well.

Same! Making them non-remote compatible is basically making it where I’ll never be able to get one from this raid. Hell, ANY Elite raid for that matter.
