Pokemon Go

The one thing that’s stopping me from getting the master ball… don’t have friends locally to play with let alone meet in public everyday to do raids together. Kinda sucks.

    What level are you? I think everyone above 35 can solo 1* and most 3* raids.

    Also, you can invite remote players to your raids – especially useful for legendary raids. There are a few options – the built-in Campfire, r/PokemonGoFriends and the app Poké Genie.

    I say they should get rid of raid eggs and just instantly spawn the raid pokemon and give them the added hour to their timers as pokemon. I’m so tired of knowing a raid will spawn in an hour and have to wait for it.

    I could do so many more raids if this was the case.

    Look man I know it sucks that they ask you to grind stuff like this but honestly it’s not that hard to just invite people to raids with pokegenie and knock this stuff out. You earn a few battle passes from rewards in order to do more than 1 a day here and there, not really that much effort to do this in the allotted time.

    The raids are stopping me, too…. I’m unemployed, so I can’t buy remote passes, and I can’t drive, so I kinda have to play at my parent’s discretion. I am a sad, strange adult.

    I’ve never seen a tier 1 raid that could be solo’d

  6. Agreeable_Falcon1044

    You have two options…

    1. Use your daily for 1 star or 3 star raids. As a one star is 3000hp, you can solo that from about level 10.

    2. Pokegenie or another site. Get on there and advertise a raid or join another one.

    It’s nearly 30 days into the task and you have pretty much used up your “extras”. It’s certainly not impossible. I am half way and I don’t pay a penny for passes etc.

    Don’t fret! Another month and they’ll say “we see some of you rural players are still having trouble completing this! Good news. We decided to put masterballs in the shop so those of you in less populated areas can get them as well <3”

  8. Intelligent-Zone-582

    That’s what poke genie is for

  9. ratonbox

    Pokegenie, just be active when new raids come out, you’ll be able to host immediately then.

  10. rfort4915

    I got on campfire to find 1 or 3 stars that are a short drive away, I hit 1-3 everyday now.

  11. Stellatombraider

    Another vote for Poke Genie. If you’re not comfortable hosting a raid for other players, it’s pretty easy to join someone else’s raid remotely. The wait times are usually only really long for legendaries, and only when the roster changes. Once a raid boss has been around a while, you can usually join a raid within a few minutes, sometimes instantly. I’m in the same boat as you, and I do 1- and 3-star raids solo, 4- and 5-star with Poke Genie.

    Just download GO Raid Party and do everything remote. It’s literally the best.

    Idk why people do poke genie, you have to wait in line. GO Raid party let’s you jump into any remote raid in the world, you just gotta click on an open raid when it opens up before it fills.

    Also, remember Latios/latias a month or two back? Probably not. It was only in South Korea, so the rest of the world didn’t get an announcement, but GO Raid Party let me do the raids. So ya girl is stocked up on latias/latios.

  13. Darnell5000

    I mean I also don’t have friends to do raids with and I’m at 27.

  14. BigDummyDumb

    If it weren’t for my brother taking me raiding, and my parents having bought me Pokécoins some time ago as a thanks for doing chores, I’d have little hope. Now I only have 2 raids to go, but if it weren’t for my family carrying me, I would’ve given up. I actually had practically given up before I did raids with my brother with two high-level accounts.

  15. TheChosenOne1103

    Invite people from Reddit. There’s ways you just gotta put in work. Or do the one star raids

  16. The84thWolf

    Find PoGO Raids on Discord. They do remote raids all the time and you can set your own to draw people in.

  17. Yeahxi would use campfire and u can scroll over when an egg is about to Hatch. Great feature

  18. I have 30 spare raid passes I never used. One day in the next months I have to do a whole day of walking and raiding 1*-3* raids alone

  19. LostYooper906

    Mine is going to be the excellent throw task, I can’t get an excellent throw to save my life

  20. RobertM3

    I have enough premium passes to get the 60, but finding raids that I can solo when I’m free is hell. I would use 57 premium raid passes on 57 1 star raids if I could find them when I’m free.

  21. thejorvid

    Its obvious. You do one low level raid per day. If not, buy some remote raid passes ($5!?!?) Click the campfire button INSIDE of pokemon go already, and follow instructions to join a raid.

  22. WarpHype

    I’ve been doing 1 star raids daily. It’s not fun so I wouldn’t recommend it.

  23. Opposite_Ad_4406

    Download the app poke genie. Its very convenient for raids

  24. ScarfedVictini

    Definitely. For casual players, 60 raids is a LOT. I usually only get the chance to do 1-2 raids a week.

  25. Maleficent-Box4114

    Don’t know if anybody said it, but wasn’t it mentioned at some point that we’ll get a Master Ball anyway? This is just them wanting us to continue to pay to play with remote raid passes and such.

  26. popthebutterflybooks

    I’m almost in the same boat but with the excellent throws. I am an uncoordinated person with shakey hands.

  27. cervdotbe

    People always complaining.. Part of the game.

  28. Lunaryjinx

    Same. I managed to do just 15 raids so far.

  29. Smexycan78

    It’s just intentional shitty game design to make people spend money

  30. Jay_Birdie_

    Use Pokémon go Ottawa on discord it’s really useful the only downside is that If you are joining a raid you have to use a remote raid pass

  31. Turndizzy

    Message me if you’d like to coordinate remote raids

  32. merlinpatt

    I hate that all the level 1 and 3 raids aren’t anywhere near me. I’m in the city but the gyms within a 30 minute walk are almost always mega and level 5.

    I don’t have a car so going outside if that 30 minute radius is a lot for me

  33. malimushroom

    Same. Same with other tasks,like sending gifts. Too many people I know say they’re “too old” to play. 🙄😒🙄
