Pre save your battle party! (Read below!)

I read in several posts that people complain that joining DMAX raids the timer goes down to fast, so they can’t find good counters fast enough. Fair! That’s a real problem Niantic should work on.

BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?

You can save a team before starting a raid. Where? Tap on the home menu, click on Battle tab (where you find pvp battles), swipe right to the tab Team! Here you can save different battle parties. Not only for pvp, also for raids AND for DMAX at the very end of this tab. Here you enter your three Pokemon, maybe even name the party and save it.

Now join a Dmax raid and swipe on the screen with the suggested Pokemon simply to the right and you find your pre saved team. A matter of 1 second. Hope that helps (those who didn’t know this!)
