How many trainers are needed? With the best counters at high levels, you can defeat the boss in pairs. With lower levels but strong counters, you should rely on more trainers. To complete the raids quickly, groups with many participants are recommended.

Additionally, you can assemble your battle team even before you dive into the fights. This not only ensures that you can always start the battle with your best setup right away but also saves you a bit of time in each individual raid lobby: Tips for Organizing Raid Teams.
