For the first time ever in Pokemon, the most powerful of all Pokemon known as Gigantamax Pokemon have made their release to Pokemon Go for the very first time in Pokemon Go. Being the mightiest of all Pokemon ever released to the game, even with a full team of 40 people, it can still prove to be a huge challenge. However, upgrading our Pokemon with the right moves will make it less tough.

We finally did it after 2 hours of trying with 27 people. A lot of us had to use 1M+ star dust and hundreds of candys to power up pokemons to do it. We also organized groups so every group has 2 healers and 2 attackers. This way we finally beat it.
Ya I would have to do a 3 hour trip to London if I want to do these and even then I would have to be lucky and pray people are playing, so it would be a waste and then another 3 hour trip back
crazy how they can just dip away 😂
Thanks ‘Brian’ it was really nice to see you in person and to get your help and advice on this new feature in game.
‘Rubin’ is a really active ambassador, the trip over to Bulach is always worth it.
Enjoy the rest of your journey and finally your trip back home. If you still want that hundo Mr. Mime you can, safe in the knowledge it was a hundo before the trade 🙃.
Here’s a strategy for you, try spending some stardust and candies? All your Pokemon seen to be at their caught level, at least power some up to level 35 or so and you’ll have a much better time 🫂😎
There is a way to defeat them! Step 1: find 30-40 other people
This is awful if you live anywhere but a place that lives on pokemon go, Niantic said rural trainers just give up
Spoofers & city players are all that will be left it seems. We were able to win with 25 people but unfortunately once the MP ran out we had to stop.
If youre going to make content this difficult and the MP held so low you need to allow 1 or 2 remote raids per person at the event. Very disappointing to have the desire to play but bricked by the minimum amount of players and the system in place to fix that being unusable.
Niantic…..do you want everyone to play your game or just a select few? Im confused if youre running a business or an exclusive clubhouse?
Won't be doing that. Niantic sucks.
I joined a local Community Meet from within the app led by Cirici. The two community leaders wete really well organized. We raided with 35 people but we organized 25-30 attackers (10 of those had to have maxed dynamax pokemon and moves) and the rest would be "healers" (those with less 2000 cp pokemon), we eve had people with just 1 woolo help with cheering and this worked as a strategy. The problem is when everyone just wants to attack! There must be team work.
I don’t have time to drive two hours round trip (local Campfire groups are going to populated areas like large malls that are farther away), as well as spend half hour strategizing, the 10-15 minutes fighting only to very likely not catch one of these. This seems unreal for a mobile game. I love the lower level dynamax cause I can pop those out solo while walking or waiting in line somewhere. This sounds online MMO level. I understand this is supposed to be a slow burn but a lot of my frustration comes from the fact that when I get to the point of finally being able to have a chance at one of these, players may be done with the older releases.
Heading back into the city later to try and catch a couple more zards. Yesterday however, was brutal. I spent an hour just trying to raid and catch one Blastoise – G and thirty minutes for a third zard. Only for that zard to reset. Too many came unprepared and expected the rest to carry. The teams I was placed in brought baby pokemons… Rarely did I ever see a fully evolved team of type advantage pokemons while I was raiding. (Saw plenty of Metagross, Sobble <– why not evolve…,Venasaur and Charizards while facing a Charizard – G with Blast Burn….) Especially in teams when I was the sole survivor… Who at Niantic thought HEY LET'S GIVE BLASTOISE G ICE BEAM WHILE PLAYERS CAN ONLY BRING GRASS TYPES AT THIS GOD DAMN TIME TO RAID CUZ THERE ARE NO ELECTRIC G MAX/DYNAMAX POKEMONS. Not even 10 seconds into this raid, half of my entire team dropped like flies or when Charizard G has BLAST BURN???? Literally went down to 30 in a matter of seconds. Had to get lucky with it only knowing flamethrower to secure a win and that took MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT ONE SPOT. Arghhhh needed to vent because this was a mess…
Even on a good raid day group we wouldn't have enough 😂 I'm really loving how hard they are making things lately. I really don't play much anymore because of it.
I’m honestly sad it’s so hard cuz gigantimax is so cool
Tl;dr The way you defeat them is to live in a big city and be a popular Pogo Influencer. There now you don’t have to watch the video.
Niantic will definitely nerve those G-Max 🤣 They don’t earn any money this way lol 🤣
That is the worst feature I have ever seen. Everything is crap. The MP limit, the INSANE AND EXPENSIVE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES we are forced to spend… if you like it you're just a niantic ball's sucker…
are you in switzerland ?
G Max raids are BS 15 players should be able to take them down 27+ can not do it ridiculous I will be skipping this
0:38 Oh, come on! You have basically the most stardust of everyone in the world. Why on earth would you not power up your Pokemon before battle? Maybe you want to wait until you get a hundo or something, but at least level up your Pokemon to level 30.
We had 22. Defeated venasur and blastoise. Lost to charizard.
I can’t even get a group to defeat Falinks 😭
suntec city in singapore was filled with people:) so thankful for that mall did 11 gmax battles
We went with 21 people and beat Charizard and Venusaur 💪
You have the wrong attack pokemon, need 3 water type, thought you if all people would have what is needed. 😢
They just renamed elite raids to gigantamax.
where were you playing? I was lucky enough to get a hundo venosaur on my second gigadynamax
thats exactly how 90% of the players are playing last 2 days. BAD PREPARATION.
not even pushed or maxed 1 of the moves. worst attackers.
we defeated these raids with 25 players. Communication is the key and investing stardust.
The catch rate is absolutely bullshit, and definitely on purpose to make you pay to catch, as well as to play. 200 coins for 10 more balls only BEFORE YOU TRY. if you buy the extra balls won't ever need them. F Niantic
I have returned to the game 2021. Quitting 2024. This was too much even without remote or a group search. There will never be a full lobby for this
