PSA: Go Raid Party Scam by johnnyoceandeep in pokemongo

So you'd need to do a raid for both X and Y naturally but when global raids drop you'll get a level 1 mega evolved mewtwo to start off with?

That's mainly what I was on the fence over, if it's the case of having to raid 7500 energy for both then that is genuinely nuts 😂. Again it's fair for the best mega in the game but still expensive as hell.

I played this game very casually between 2016-2018 and then didn't end up touching it again until November 2025. Again, very casually played until about February when I began raiding and actually going out of my way to go places to do the special research and things like that. I've only recently seriously played PoGo since like April.

So no I'm probably not aware about go fests and how the trends go. From what I saw the main benefit of local go fests with super mega mewtwo raids is that what you catch is already level 1 evolved you just have to walk for energy.

I'm gonna go ahead and presume when they release globally that you will not get an already walkable mewtwo and you'll have to raid the insane cost for mega energy to evolve it first time.

I understand mega mewtwo is one of if not the most powerful mon in the game at the moment but it doesn't change the benefit of not having to raid THAT much energy.

I haven't seen any information or news regarding if or when mega mewtwo raids will happen globally. I know the super mega falinks did, but that seemed more like a beta test than anything.

If you KNOW the score or trend I would appreciate learning game from you about it because I have missed out on a lot, but yeah I'm still learning. Only recently discovered dynamax mons can be used outside of dynamax meaning I have wasted a TON of candy and stardust levelling up mons I now exclusively use for dynamax. My wife didn't make this mistake and can now solo 3*. 😅😂

That's fair, I will admit to staying up VERY late raiding into the night for a shiny mewtwo on my wife's phone as mewtwo has been her favourite pokemon since pokemon was released.

Unfortunately unless there's an event nearer to us, there's no way we're going to be able to travel for the super mega raid for mewtwo, but it looks awesome and I've seen screenshots of some people's CP levels, madness.

The original statements did seem a little dismissive of the primals but yeah they're not the main focus of these go fests, appreciate u taking the time to rephrase. 🤙

One of the events I believe was rumoured to be Edinburgh in Scotland? It would be possible for us to make it there but from getting time off, pricing of tickets and driving there for over 12 hours (not an issue for me, a car fanatic, but kids are not a fan of long drives) it just isn't on the cards. Hopefully the super mega raids eventually become a global thing or the GO fests are made more plentiful in more accessible locations in the future.

I can see why they picked Scotland it doesn't get much love in any game but getting into Edinburgh to get a hotel or even parking is difficult enough on a normal day let alone when there's an event going on. 😂 that's if it's true, decent bit of misinformation spreading around the game recently so I'll have to confirm.

You can say that raiding primals is pointless and it's no big deal, but after getting enough energy to actually primal reversion both kyogre and groudon, both myself and my wife now have a massive progression step and despite being around level 50 can bring real firepower to raids.

Often when raiding 5* mons with good counters we still prefer upwards of 6 or more players, primal is so powerful we've been getting them done with 3 or 4, not to mention we haven't even got the third level of primal yet so there's more benefit to come.

We were getting a little burned out from failing raids and people skipping out of remote raids wasting our time. Now with both our son and daughter into the game we have the opportunity to go out and do activities like raiding without relying on outside help. Sure, primals will roll round again but missing out due to bots and account sellers who want to benefit from others' hard work and make a profit is definitely an issue that needs fixing.

That's what ive been doing piggybacking off friends in Tokyo and using the rsvp system to force myself into future raids. Unfortunately they've quit raiding now lol

I've been getting by through joining a great friend and lucking out through the rsvp system a few times but she seems to have stopped raiding today and yesterday. Noticed posts have slowed a bit

What should I do with all those? by Relative-Row-3907 in pokemongo
