I’ve just loaded up on a ton of wishing stars and just keep tossing them down holes.

There are better ways of doing that. You should try save scumming, I've saved countless Wishing Shards and triggered several pink beams with that exploit.

Oh I know. But I don’t mind the grind.
Right now I’m working on getting Shiny versions of my team for the fun of it.

I used to like the max raids, but solo max raids in the postgame are literally unplayable.

This is a problem I have right now too. Yesterday, I thought I'll just do a couple raids and see what I'll get. I found the Gigantimax Snorlax and I got rubbish NPCs, not even the Hawlucha could do much! Why am I stuck with weak NPC partners in post game? Why can't they have bigger and stronger Pokémon as a reward for completing the game?

Not a complaint to GF but some brain-dead moron with Eternius didn't Dynamax in the raid and we lost the raid. You little git. The next raid team I had was a guy with a shiny Machamp carrying the rest of us. >w> Thank you shiny Machamp guy but the catch was unsuccessful. :(

So it's brain dead AI vs. a grab bag of competent and brain dead players for postgame help.

IMHO I think the braindead AI is there to mimic the many braindead players you find doing raids.

Gamefreak might be lazy, behind on the times, and make questionable choices, but it doesn't take a genuis to know a lot of Players have no idea what they doing.

The only really rough 5 Star Max Raids to solo are against pokemon with reliable recovery or hard hitting AoE moves. Someone earlier suggested a 100 Eternatus with max HP and special attacks EVs and an assault vest and he handles about 70% of max raids. For anything that resists or is immune to dragon moves (steel and fairy) you should have Flamethrower and/or Sludge Bomb for. Alternatively, Zamazenta/Zacian 100 with max HP and attack EVs and their transformation item do pretty well against the things that wall Eternatus. Zacian probably does better, because it's probably the most retardedly overpowered pokemon in existence, the primal forms of the weather trio is the only thing that comes close.

Shout out to all the people spending a turn on dragon dance right before the gigantomax resets all their boosts to nothing like they do every couple turns.

Shout out to the people who actually go into max raids and spam AoE moves on purpose and kill everyone else in the raid.

I assumed it was possible but I've never actually seen it in the 20 or so Max raids I've done. Probably because it's impossible to get much satisfaction because there's no way to react to it other then move choice. Kind of surprised that I haven't seen it yet because several of the better moves in singles hit everyone (surf, earthquake) but I don't expect your average Pokemon player to know that.

Good, and let's hope it stays that way. If More people knew, then more people would abuse it for the lulz.

This tbh.

The fact that I can get trainers with a Togepi, a Magikarp, and a Wobuffet all in the same Raid battle is really annoying. That being said some of the NPCs are actually very creative and come in surprisingly clutch. The Eevee with helping hand in particular is a godsend

Clutch for me was that one kid with the Mudbray. We were up against this Gigantamax Butterfree and I was using Tyranitar to try and get x4 super effective damage. I had seen the Mudbray use other type moves so I dismissed him as useless for the battle. Eventually, the Butterfree was able to take down my Tyranitar with its G-Max move that I forgot it had, and only one more of our teammates could faint. It had pretty much no health and it was a smidge away from fainting. The Solrock on our team went for Cosmic Power and I forgot who the other Pokemon was but I remembered it missed its attack, so I was pissed because I thought I would have to do the battle all over again, but then Mudbray comes clutch and uses a Rock type move that lands, taking out the Butterfree. It was quite fun to have it come clutch when another hit from that Butterfree would've lost us the battle.

You know what would be a fun idea?

Letting people choose a pokemon that can participate in battles while they're 1) offline or 2) create and NPC that uses said pokemon. Maybe even allow the players to 'catch' the maxed pokemon on a certain percentage rate and allow them to decide if they wanna keep the pokemon or not.

Just an idea.

better yet, have the damn league cards actually do something like iunno, league cards you get from other players or gym leaders lets you call them into raids?

as it stands league cards are fucking pointless.

Yeah, maybe have them be associated with a certain 'signature pokemon', that'd be cool. Also, maybe give them the ability to let you choose to 'dynamax' their pokemon - After all, maybe having a Gigtanamaxed pokemon on your team might be a good call.

The league cards, as of right now, are purely cosmetic for you and a cute little collectible from other trainers. Much like how the character accessories are. Which reminds me, do they still have the Pokeball effects be a thing or...?

When people die, they become the Yamask, which then evolve into people-eating sarcophagus. I'm sure someone like Jeffery Dahmer would be ecstatic to become reincarnated as a Pokémon that'll go on to eat people.

When people actually die in Pokemon, Game Freak makes sure to never have it happen on-screen just in case that character is marketable enough to milk in later releases.

What infuriates me about League Cards is that when Gym Leaders give you their rare cards in the postgame story, they say something like "call me if you ever need me", implying that you are supposed to be able to call them for stuff like Raids, instead of just inviting them to the Champion Cup.
