6 Raid Coordination Tips

Build a Raid Group

Connect with local players through Discord communities or social media. A reliable raid group makes legendary hunting much easier.

Schedule Raid Runs

Plan raid routes during Raid Hour (Wednesdays 6-7 PM) for maximum efficiency. Chain multiple gyms together.

Use Webhooks

Set up community webhooks to share raid alerts with your group's Discord server automatically.

Timing Matters

Arrive 2-3 minutes before the agreed start time. Late joiners might miss the lobby window.
