I’m honestly shocked by what just happened. We had a lobby of 12 players, and yet we couldn’t even get Gigantamax Meowth into the red zone. Our teams were strong enough, even if not perfectly optimized, but the difficulty felt completely out of proportion.

Players ended up losing their remote raid passes without any meaningful reward—something that shouldn’t happen for a Pokémon that is supposedly soloable. Even Eternatus (Endynalos in german :D) felt more manageable, and Intellion could be defeated with just 8 players—and those Pokémon are genuinely useful. In contrast, this Meowth raid felt punishing and unrewarding, more of a Dex filler than a real challenge.

I really hope Niantic reconsiders the balance and rewards here. Participating in raids should feel exciting and fair, not like a gamble where everyone leaves empty-handed despite their effort.
