A trainer reveals a tip in Pokémon GO, with which he believes many more raids are possible. What exactly he says you can find out here.
What are raids? Raids are a feature in Pokémon GO where you can team up with other trainers to defeat a Pokémon together. If you succeed, you have the chance to catch the defeated Pokémon afterwards.
Before the raid begins, you can see in the lobby until a timer runs out which allies also want to participate in this raid. Until the raid starts, trainers can leave the lobby and thus the raid at any time. And for this reason, a trainer on Reddit has a tip that would allow for many more raids to take place.

Trainer believes it usually requires far fewer allies than expected
What is the tip? The trainer advises his fellow players not to leave raid lobbies prematurely and to dare a raid with 4 people.
On Reddit, the user writes that usually far fewer trainers are needed to successfully complete a raid. He claims that about 95% of the raids in this game can be done with 4 decently leveled players
.
Far too many raids do not take place because trainers leave the lobby before the raid starts, even though there are 4 trainers over level 35. He also adds: Do you really think you need 6 people to defeat a Thundurus?
What does the community say about it? Other trainers point out that participating trainers also need strong counters for the raid boss. Even if these aren’t the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO. However, this is not relevant for every trainer in Pokémon GO.
Another trainer writes: Just as an example: My wife plays just as much as I do and her level is only slightly lower than mine, but she probably couldn’t even put together 3 decent Pokémon for most raids because she just likes to catch Pokémon and doesn’t care which Pokémon are strong and which are not.
It is also noted that the fear of wasting a raid pass is another important point. One more trainer remarks: It’s the raid passes that are the problem. They are so expensive, although I think they are a crucial part of the game.
Another comment on this is: I think it’s people who just don’t know any better and who don’t want to waste expensive raid passes.
What is your opinion on this? Is the trainer right, or do you think this statement is too simplistic? How many allies do you stay in the raid lobby with and participate in the battle?
