Primal Raids blow

Hi, just wanted to vent a little bit. How are we supposed to get 400 primal energy for Groudon AND Kyogre AND Mega Rayquaza this weekend?

Getting one of these takes 5-7 succesful raids, and a successful raid requires 6-9 people at the very least.

With remote raids being double price there is almost no way to do this. Gathering 10+ people locally is a nightmare, and I live in a pretty big city mind you. I say 10+, because if I get 10 irl friends together there aint no way all of them have good pokemon to take to the battle.

Also, my friend who actually used his pass to raid via pokegenie lost the raid with 9 people. That is just BRUTAL.

Why is this okay is beyond me. I forgot about this, and after my first Primal raid when I saw 60/400 I got so demotivated I am not sure I am going to even attempt to get them.

Will you be getting a Primal Reversion this week?

PS. Since the change in pricing I got exactly 0 raid passes in my research boxes. If so did you, share the pain.
