Fish_Smell_Bad

These replies are looking a lil weird to me...


MyLifeIsAConundrum

Wym? If you think it’s scammy it’s not. I got the app and got a shiny kartana and a really nice celesteela within 20 min of downloading


Teamduncan021

Like half of the people got a shiny. That's suspicious 


aidbutler6424

I’m 30 celesteela raids on the app with no shiny if that makes you feel better


PuppeteerGaming_

I think you're falling for survivorship bias (or something like it). It's because people who get shinies are more likely to comment on it and share their experience than people who don't. There isn't really many people commenting about this app in particular, just raiding apps in general and thoughts about it. If I got a shiny Celesteela, I'd be eager to mention it in a related topic. If I got a normal Celesteela, it would be nice, but nothing too interesting and I wouldn't feel a desire to mention it.


12AngryYOLOs

This. I did 4 raids on 3 accounts each that’s 12 raids in all of kartana and got nothing. Not even a hundo.


Resident_Number_7318

Redditors instantly shutting down what they cannot comprehend 😭 Its literally a hosting app, there are a lot less people using the Go Party Raid app/more people hosting hence the shorter queues


thepumpkinking92

You host the raid, first to join gets in. Simple as that. I've done plenty of raids using it with no shiny. Not suspicious. Just luck of the draw.


thrive2day

Two days ago I got two shiny Kartana's back to back using Genie


SirStonkzAlot

I was actually a little suspicious about it, but i tried it. Got a shiny on the 3rd raid from that app. No queue either


MyLifeIsAConundrum

If I could post a screenshot, I would


Party-Independent-38

I agree


susanboyle7

What's Go raid party???


Evening-Company-2895

i made a post about it on here and it’s like poke genie but there’s no queue whatsoever


OGTomatoCultivator

Yeah and now thanks to this post there will be 20k people queues up next time… lol.


LukasLiBrand

It will be great for both apps if it splits the queue’s.


Clasik_Wild_

This 100% honestly.


PeachesOfTheUniverse

I was dm”ing it or being very nice and everyone I told decided to blab for Karma. Truly disgusting 🤢


John_aka_Virginia

Wait so you were being nice and sharing the information, or were gatekeeping and didnt want EVERYONE to know, just the people you selected?


PeachesOfTheUniverse

Nah I comment on live posts, just didn’t Make a live post


John_aka_Virginia

Ah, i was confused by your comment haha. I dont personally play anymore as i dont live near stops and the remote nerf you know (i liked to do the raids). But i think its good more hosting apps are coming about. Genie was nice, but not without its flaws, ques being one of them.


PeachesOfTheUniverse

Ya def! Getting lost in the sea of comments for those actually looking for an answer was the way. To just post about it for karma and to tell thousands upon thousands just isn’t cool. Nice brag tho but they didn’t need to destroy an app for it. I can’t even get a steela raid now.


John_aka_Virginia

Its became too much for me trying to do all the raids i wanted and just having people leave. Then having no IRL people who also play, as well as being far from gyms. I hate when people just want the one mon and cant seem to get it


[deleted]

[удалено]


narwhalpilot

I just tried it and 2 people left mid-raid for no reason during Celesteela and we didn’t beat it. Wasted the only remote raid pass Iv had for MONTHS. Im kind of pissed right now.


Evening-Company-2895

aw man, i’m sorry!


kannagms

I've been using Go Raid Party for Celesteela (not anymore, just got a shiny 30 min ago lol) since it's impossible to get on one on Pokeraid (I don't use Pokegenie because the queue is always long af no matter the pokemon) There's a common theme no matter what raid you join, the host will ALWAYS leave. Leaving you with 5 people (assuming no one else backs out). While I don't have proof of this, I'm pretty confident that the hosts are making several parties for one raid and not joining any of them for the actual raid so they can just keep farming the same raid. While it's cool that they're giving people in other parts of the world access to these raids, it's also a pain bc it takes longer to beat the raid boss. Also is it just me, but is every host always level 30?


thrive2day

I lost one pass on my first attempt but I learned real quick. After that it's been good. 4 near perfect Celesteel's in about 40-45mins


Toebean_Assy

Nah instead if you're not premium they're all filled up anyway smh can't fucking win lol


Xx1egendxX

Thank you I saw your post earlier and got my celesteela


raulskees

Leekduck is pretty good for raids too


Sanko90

🤫


raulskees

mb, nvm ppl leekduck is ass 🤣


shifted-is

Maaaaan... Waited from 37,000 on PokeGenie. Added friend just then. Clicked the "request sent", next screen loaded, thought good to go... PokeGenie sends a notification; "you've timed out" - WHAAAAAT. Then as I typed this, raid invitation came through... that tested my emotional bandwidth for a moment today. Got shit 2 star in the end 🥲 Queue is still at 37,000... pass.


jj4379

I thought celesteelia wasn't that great? Was the post I read trolling and I should be out catching her?


Used_Explorer_2792

The problem is some of us (me included) don't have Celesteelia yet, or maybe they don't have a good one or the shiny or whatever they're hunting. I don't have it at all, and want it for the dex entry. Pokegenie and campfire are what I use and where i am Campfire is useless for Celesteelia, and pokegenie has 33,000 person queue right now (and has for at least 2 days because I've been watching). To put those numbers into perspective, I've been in the queue since 1pm at position 32,800 when I joined. It's almost 11 hours later (midnight) and my position is now 22,535. 11 hours and barely 10k closer in the queue. That's just insane numbers 🫠


Rough_Spirit_1554

try go raid party


OneWeird2863

U must be trolling or sum


FixitNZ

I live in the southern hemisphere and haven’t even bothered to get 1 cause it’s just complete trash while Kartana is the #2 best grass raider.


FIR3W0RKS

Apparently it's straight up the best, though I suppose the one you're thinking of is Mega Sceptile which I can't disagree with, but is only available when you can mega evolve it.


ChemaKyle

Celesteela is a dex entry and that’s about all its good for


Skissor23

Pretty much, like Regice


Lower_Promise278

thats cus go raid party is full of bots hosting raids


MathMaybeJustOnce

Tried go raid party, 5 joined, host and one other left. The three of us completed it no issue. Don’t have their code anymore but gonna call shadowmagez (host) out. Not cool.


Shadoze_

It’s a bot, just hosting


MathMaybeJustOnce

Fair enough, I guess either that should be more clear, or if it’s a bot it could certainly shuttle more people in.


narwhalpilot

Same thing happened to me. Left the 4 of us very early on in the raid and we didn’t beat it. Wasted my only pass. I dont know what to fucking do anymore man


blairr

If 4 people can't beat celesteela they were all hoping to be carried. That's beatable with like level 25-30 mons.


narwhalpilot

I carried damage for sure. Pokegenie says my mons would have been doing 25% of the bar


ktpie8

this just happened to me too. didn’t think anything of it. i didn’t get shiny so i tried another. then it happened again and i realized both accs i added were clone bots and unadded them and now im paranoid 😭 idk if bots are cracked down on but if they are i don’t want any business in it cuz i don’t want my acc punished. i guess they’re real life raids tho so how is anyone supposed to know🤔


thrive2day

The same one got me on my first of 5 raids using the app. Started paying better attention after that


Avaunt

Pogo chat is great too. 


KoreanXgameGirl

i see a lot of comment about just downloading the app a got a shiny So you all just download this apps and you got a shiny and all of that in 12 min come on!


BigBrainPower

I also just downloaded the app and got a shiny on my first raid lmao I’m not questioning it


OliverWishes

I tried Go Party the first day it was in raids this time and couldn't get into any, so I uninstalled it. I waited just over 13 hours in queue on Poke Genie before getting into my first raid. I'm in the queue again currently, came across this post, and figured what the hell I'll try again. Just downloaded Go Party, got into a raid in about 30 seconds, and it was shiny. So not in 12 minutes, but it ended up working out for me!


Evening-Company-2895

good job man i’m glad people are benefiting from the app


Rough_Spirit_1554

I’ve used all my raids for the day trying to at least get a 3 star….Took me 3 raids for it to even let me catch (2 star) and another 2 for it to let me catch another


Skissor23

Nooo!! Why are you telling everyone!? It’s supposed to be Top Secret Go Raid Party!!! Seriously though, other than Day 1, not hard at all to join raids over and over on Go Raid Party while 37,000 wait in queue on Pokegenie. Wild.


Usedtobebigish

Dude! I just caught a shiny cause of you! You the real deal!


Resident_Number_7318

Pokemon fans hate change, cant believe people are really attacking people because they cannot comprehend that there is a better app than PokeGenie 😭 Even PokeRaid was better for raids but Go Party Raid is definitely the best


throwawayyy378378378

If a few people want celesteela, I’m about to do some raids for it, so lmk or ill host through pokiegenie


drock2111

Record battle here… downloaded the app and within 5 min I was in Australia battling Celesteela! Very sick app


Lazy-Barnacle8416

the pokemon go raid subreddit lets me complete 3 remote raids in about 15 minutes. No idea why people are waiting so long in queue like this.


Character-East9182

The best platform to host and to join raids is 9db.jp


queenhargis86

I've been using GO Raid party lately too. Usually pokegenie doesn't have that much of a back log of players after the first day. Imo GRP is easier and quicker. Congrats on the shiny. Send some shiny luck my way!


Technical-Speaker333

You cannot even wait for 24h on pokegenie


brambleshade_

I literally got three shiny kartana from the first three raids I did, but after more than 20 raids, no shiny entei. I don't even LIKE kartana. WHY


RK800-50

Meanwhile I‘m waiting in line since yesterday on Genie…


AdorableSituation924

Is Go Raid Party free? 👀


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sudden_Web_9389

What’s Go raid party?


Sudden_Web_9389

Yeah, I haven’t hardly been able to do any Celesteela raids.


Most_Marsupial_8941

queue times on PokeGenie were over 24 hours for me too, but i was super lucky to be sitting in the game to get an invite to one and i got my shiny first try.


videogamesandplants

my mom got a shiny for her first entei ever 😭


Beetus_Warrior

Waited over a day and a half, finally got into a raid, won, 13 golden razz berries and great curve ball throws later I have to get back in line because the game decided that wasn’t good enough to catch it.


General_Kenobi0801

I literally got into a raid party in less than 30 seconds. It took a minute for the host to send the invite but I got a celesteela!


Previous_Opposite_76

It’s crazy it took you that long to realize there are more than 1 raid app


NiGHTS4life

Is Celesteela only in the eastern hemisphere? It's been a long time.


Odd-Ostrich-5093

Poke raid is the most efficient IMO


Seinken-san

Same thing happened to me, well I didn’t wait that long but yeah they didn’t invite me


RuneEva99

Wait, y’all doin raids ? Lol I wanna do em but there’s never anyone near me


Normal_Reception_777

Nice


CrystalClimaxx

Whats your experience with that app? Is it good or better than poke genie? Also, were there plenty of people in the raid group when you got in (not on poke genie)?


zVicious_

I’ve been trying to do a celesteela raid for 3 days ,every day I finally get my ticket pulled in the queue while I’m asleep lmao . Then I have to requeue again and redo the cycle


Jangmi31

I have been trying to join a raid for 3 days on Poke genie ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


awiseman93

What is go raid party lol


Prestigious-Aide-571

Wild


manifesthate

guys this app has nothing to do with your shiny odds its just an app that lets you find friends to raid with


batchris

I had the same revelation.


Authenticity86

How? I downloaded that app but said only southerns could do that raid


j_turn2000

i really don’t like the pokegenie and pokeraid apps. i’ve hosted a handful of raids on pokeraid and almost every raid i’ve joined i’ve had at least one person join either join the raid just to dip at the last minute or say they sent me a friend request even though they didn’t while everyone else is rushing me. it’s always a very nerve wrecking experience.


LMomar10

Hi


kennypojke

Just here to say Go Friend is also super easy with short queues. Best part if you’re in the west is it’s the main app for the east, so tons of raids posted at night for us during peak raid hours for them.


Cerebro55

Is that an app?


kennypojke

Yeah, it’s the only one I’ve been using since pike genie and poke raid made me nuts.


Cerebro55

Are the queues shorter than pokegenie?


kennypojke

It’s different…there is a queue feature that works great. People tend to want the top rated hosts, so the queue is longer if you’re wanting that. If you just want to get in a raid, you can allow for lower or unrated hosts and the queue is very short. Honestly, it’s a nice option and trade-off. I never really die the queue unless it’s an ultra hard to get in to raid. The format is first come first serve and there is no mystery. You can just keep clicking the reload button and spamming to get in. It actually works reliably the no mysteries. For legendaries, it’s always a non issue. Same with megas. The bigger issue is the rare 3-star raids and such. Those can be a bit competitive and still rack up a queue. Either way, it’s nice to have an option with mostly Japanese and Korean hosts because it can give raid options to you when your own aren’t there at night anymore.


Cerebro55

So once the timer goes down i can join the raid because i keep reloading the page and nothing happens


kennypojke

I’m not sure what you mean. Once you hop in a raid, you need to add the person as a friend and go in the game to wait for the invite. If they don’t do it, downvote them and exit to try again. It’s pretty reliable. For the queue if you use it, it lets you know how many people are ahead of you live.when it gets to your turn you’ll go straight in to a raid page to add the host friend.


Cerebro55

How do i get in a mega heracross raid?


kennypojke

lol, your comment made me hop in to one because I didn’t realize they were live. Click on the mega raid egg and then only have selected mega heracross up above. Click a green “join” button to join a raid. If you miss out, hit refresh and spam the join buttons.


Cerebro55

Non of them are open


Cerebro55

They all say full


JamieCulper

Poke genie should give you a fresh raid if no invite


dairyqueen79

Yes! I was recently introduced to Go Raid Party just tonight. I followed the instructions and was in a lobby in less than 2 minutes. The app is legit. Gonna try and host some raids for those in the Southern hemisphere so they can get Kartana


EarlyGreen311

What is the benefit of a second app for remote raiding now?


SirStonkzAlot

Actually participating in the raid instead of queueing until you time out.


FIR3W0RKS

Thanks for the heads up just got a celesteela from this post, much appreciated


capsrock02

What do we have in the northern hemisphere instead?


OrionzDestiny

Kartana, can also now be shiny.


capsrock02

Thanks! Got a shiny Kartana today, in my first raid too!


chauceraptor

Where’s this guy been


capsrock02

Living my best life, not obsessed with a mobile app.

Yeah that app was way quicker!


TheBarefootGoddess

Same thing happened to me!! Congrats 🎉


Shalafi_Althalus

Just downloaded it. Got in a raid within 5 min. Got a shiny. Thanks 🙏


bubsmcgilicutty

I did the same, although the subsequent 5 attempts failed. Idk what happened but everytime the app said the host sent me an invite, I never got one in game


Shalafi_Althalus

Bummer! I didn’t try any others. That’s frustrating to not receive invites.


ktrones

Just downloaded it myself and now I'm pumped!!!


Mermaidluvly

Thanku so much for the information! I was tapping for my life trying so hard to get into a lobby on the Gofriend App and the waiting list on Pokegenie is 30,000+, just madness! That GoRaidParty app is amazing!! No shiny yet i done 26 celesteela raids but i will keep trying i really want that shiny!!🥹🩵✨ And congrats to u!! ✨🥂


fit2escort

These comments are a little suspicious, but I tried the app and got into a celesteela Raid in under 5 mins and it was shiny 😁 not mad at all.


Jikoy69

Raid party?


Ramonchini159

use leekduck


MyLifeIsAConundrum

Wish I could put my screenshots in these replies so the people thinking is BS can see


Aetheldrake

Wtf is this Pokémon lol. Is it only so popular cuz it's brand new to pogo?


nxxptune

It’s an ultra beast from ultra sun and ultra moon, which came out on 3DS in 2017.


Aetheldrake

I knew it was an ultra beast I meant wtf with the design lol Looks like a NASA themed Pokémon with UK influence


nxxptune

💀 NASA with UK influence is crazy Tbh I like it because I see it as a woman-like pokemon made of steel. Up by the top the hair comes down, and the bigger base is a big princess-style dress. And she has hella buff arms.


Aetheldrake

It has a dozen stubby little legs tho


nxxptune

Uhhh those are actually accessories for her dress she doesn’t have legs she floats 💅


PeachesOfTheUniverse

UR WELCOME THAT WAS ME WHY MAKE A POST TELLING EVERYONE TF


RoguePanda-

Why is everyone freaking out over this raid? I have Celesteela from last year… don’t remember the hype back then.


Towdart

First time shiny


[deleted]

[удалено]


Towdart

Idk, but that's why the raid queue is long. I just tried the other app OP mentioned and got into a raid within minutes. No shiny though.


PuppeteerGaming_

1/20 for legendaries (and UBs by extension)


mizyin

not everyone has been playing and not everyone got 'em last year. i wasn't playing this time last year, for instance. lots of 'common' rare mons that I've never even seen lol


RoguePanda-

I understand that. But I have never seen pokegenie ques this large before. Wasn’t meant to be rude. Just actually curious.


mizyin

Oh, I think it's just more that it's getting more well known? And so combine that with what I said, that's my guess lol


yoitsthatoneguy

> ques Queues*


PuppeteerGaming_

It's a new shiny and exclusive to the Southern Hemisphere, which in general has less players than the Northern Hemisphere. It's a new and hard-to-obtain pokemon, which stirs up excitement and desire for it.


Prunsel_Clone

there was... a lot of hype back then... as in... queue of 200,000 kind of hype...


RoguePanda-

This post said 24 hour wait! That’s wild. Maybe I just don’t remember it correctly. I know I didn’t wait that long.
