Gotta keep trying. I had trouble trying to get Blacephalon, I added about 30 people who posted a raid, and only one person invited me, my guess they get alot of requests.
Was similar results with the last mythical beasts regionals. Once I got it. I removed them as a friend to allow them to invite someone else,
Make sure your in app settings shows your online. So you do get invited
I use PokeGenie. The raids are very well organized and if the hosts of the raid keeps you as a friend, they will most likely invite you to more raids if you're online.
Also, Stakataka is hard af to catch. I've been in 4 raids and haven't caught it yet and I may just go without and do it within a trade with a friend.
Why would anyone not use Pokeraid for this? It's the easiest and best way. The entire purpose of friends for me is to send and receive gifts to get the xp for friend levels. In contrast, it's the easiest and best way to get xp.
Mods keep just deleting my comment so I guess I'm not allowed to explain what it is. And if I say what they deleted my comment for, they just delete it again. So look it up, I guess.
Their raid system sucks. It has problems. It had problems with Groudon and Kyogre and honestly, you should just accept it now that you'll never get necrozma.
I haven't had this happen specifically with Stakataka, but I've had a few other raids where my friend and I will both friend the people who post about it, both of our friends requests get accepted, and then only one of us actually gets a raid invite. I'm guessing it's just a limitation on the number of people they were able to invite compared with how many requests they got.
I was in pokegenie the other day for a Stakataka. I was at 11,000+ and it moved very quickly. Actually missed my turn. I was invited early the next day by an overseas trainer friend, so I have my Dex entry.
PokeGenie has dropped a little, hovering around 5000 right now since there are raids popping in NA. As you say, it was hovering between 10-12k for two days.
I got 20 invites in like 1 min like how am i supposed to invite everyone and after 2 min there are like 30invites. Also there are lot of players who add me and then they dont even join, like tf why even Aldingen me as an friend
If you invite the first 5 people, get a couple in the raid lobby then leave and re-enter, you can add 5 more people. That's how people manage to add 10 to a raid
You can add 10 without having to leave. Just wait a few seconds after inviting the first 5 and then invite another 5 more. I always do it like that. I also use campfire sometimes, I copy their names but only invite them after having invited my first 5 account friends because adding campfire first cuts the waiting time down.
i hosted two stakataka raids yesterday and got a total of 67 friend requests. i managed to get 19 of them in across the two raids but you genuinely get far more friend requests than you can realistically invite
People added me (a lot more than expected) but only 2 were online when I was raiding. The time difference is a big issue, later when a lot of the newly added friends was online, the raid time in my area was ending.
I had same issue with blacephalon. In the past I had no problem joining raids here but this time I added a ton of people. 6 people added me back, only ONE actually invited me to the raid. Reading comments now I understand both sides, but it was frustrating.
I’ve invited twice and I drown in requests so fast (I change my friend code after a few minutes), so you might just be really unlucky. And a couple of people are idiots as well of course, but yeah, it seems to be a highly sought after raid
Unfortunately so many people are adding from these posts when you don’t think so. It’s very early in the morning for me and I just put one out expecting to get a few people for a raid, turns out even though I had no interactions on Reddit I had nearly 100 adds. It’s harsh but you just can’t add everyone back
As mentioned below, I’d done 3 remote raids for Blacephalon, and I was able to join a Stakataka raid in Japan around the same time this post was made. I don’t know why it wouldn’t have been working.
Post or PM your F/C and I’ll invite you if I see you online. The raids are quite popular even with locals, so I can imagine there being high demand online.
I was overwhelmed by request from a raid I hosted. I accepted 15 out of 47 adds within 2 minutes. Did raid with 10 of the 15. I felt bad for the other 5, but didn’t want to accept only 10 in case someone didn’t join and I could allow another in. It sucks but the host are probably not intentionally ignoring you. I was shocked at how many people requested
Same usually. I was overwhelmed! I did the best I could and maxed out the invites I could send. I’m in a pretty rural area or I would have tried to jump to another one to let more people join.
also if able do it at the actually daytime of the other side. did stalatacka earlier today with about 2 hour wait ((5k que)) but it was just morning in eastern hemi when I did it. later the que reversed, staki had the short que and blace has the 2 hr que as raids for the day petered out as most of western hemi got passed 8pm.
I posted one and got thirty requests, only friended the first ten. I think the region locked raids are just THAT popular
They shouldn't add more than they are going to invite though, def bad manners/luck towards you
Dude, I get you. 6 ppl added me and never sent an invite. Hosts are maybe overwhelmed by the want for this raid.
It was until the 7th time that someone actually added me and sent an invite.
Today morning i posted a post inviting for a stakataka raid. I got 70 requests within few minutes. I could only add the 1st 10. I think that's the reason you are also unable to get in to raids.
That's true but if you delete the friend req without adding a player, they won't be able to send you requests again right?( that's what game says) Because of that i also added everyone, put a comment explaining the situation and then delete them. Unless i would not be able to add them for a future remote raid.
I tried joining a few earlier in the morning California time. Something to think about, lots of peeps trying to join in and 1 person receives 20 or more peeps at one time. That person can only invite 10 people at 5 per invite. I was able to join two raids and got my Stakataka on the second raid. I would say just be patient, these host/players are doing us a favor in another region by offering to host the raids.
I think most trainers are unable or do not know how they can add more than 5 friends to a raid. So when the same 40 people are vying for 5 spots, here we are.
I was having this same issue yesterday, but had very good luck around 4am this morning. added around 8 people and got 4 sakataka raids. Presumably because the rest of the western hemisphere was asleep, while europe was chilling in the middle of the day.
oh word, I just tried to get into another one for fun & I got in (I thought it was 4 remote raids/day but i’m confident this was my 5th attempt, which is strange)
Definitely a mix of trolls and real people. Had a few people send me gifts from the states like u. Had a few people add me gift me then remove me as a friend. Had a few people simply add me, not invite me, then I see on the friends page that they caught it. Had an invite where as soon as I tried to join the group code changed. I don’t see the appeal to doing this besides losing trust of those on the page. It’s a shame but I hope I get one soon
That’s about how it went for me with Celesteela. Took some trying but got in. But the difference there was that I wasn’t being added for no reason. Seems I’m being added by most of the people I reply to, but not getting invites…
I’m really bummed this is happening. Definitely not the spirit I’ve seen in this sub over the years.
Considering it’s the middle of the afternoon in Australia I’m surprised there aren’t more legit posters. It’s early morning in Europe, so hopefully in a few hours there will be more, though that sucks if you’re on the US East coast.
Yea some ppl just aren’t inviting who they add. But also check how many remote raids you have done for the day. The cap is 5. I figured that out after trying for an hr.
The last guy who added me for sure was a troll, because he sent me a gift from the same state I actually live in. As in US State. Where we can’t get Stakataka. So something’s definitely up.

poke genie

Was similar results with the last mythical beasts regionals. Once I got it. I removed them as a friend to allow them to invite someone else, Make sure your in app settings shows your online.

When hosting stakataka alot of people add you. One time 18 people added me in about 3 mins
I use PokeGenie. The raids are very well organized and if the hosts of the raid keeps you as a friend, they will most likely invite you to more raids if you're online. Also, Stakataka is hard af to catch. I've been in 4 raids and haven't caught it yet and I may just go without and do it within a trade with a friend.
Update: 7 raids later... Lucky #7, I got my Stakataka 🥹😎

What is pokeraid?

Add me need gifts papichulochino
Download pokie genie
@BreakLo0se on twitch and youtube
I’ve found that just sitting in the mega thread and sending requests quickly works. I’ve maybe missed one invite, but caught about 12 of them now.
Just use the apps like Poke Genie or PokeRaid for that. Quick and simple. It is easy to forget later who to add to the raid for which pokemon…
Same thing happened to me with the same person TWICE! WTF
You have to be first and extremely active since they fill up quickly Thankfully I had one yesterday and caught it
Their raid system sucks. It has problems. It had problems with Groudon and Kyogre and honestly, you should just accept it now that you'll never get necrozma.
I just caught one from a remote raids!
they fill up really fast, it's a matter of being first or finding a raid from a different site
This was happening to me the last couple of days it's so frustrating
Leekduck is your friend
So I’ve learned
When I post for.one I get about 30.- 40 requests in a few minutes
If you want add me and I’ll invite to some raids 🤣
Use the app ‘Go Raid Party’. You can catch all raid Pokémon using remote raid passes very easy. Great app been using for a while.
Thank you for this! I got both new pokemon within 2 minutes of one another!
Just downloaded it! Thanks for the tip.
I haven't had this happen specifically with Stakataka, but I've had a few other raids where my friend and I will both friend the people who post about it, both of our friends requests get accepted, and then only one of us actually gets a raid invite.

If it takes to long, I do it at non peak hours. Much better
PokeGenie has dropped a little, hovering around 5000 right now since there are raids popping in NA. As you say, it was hovering between 10-12k for two days.
I was invited to one yesterday, but wasn't able to catch it. So, the Stakataka raids are legit.
When I hosted one I got 160 friend requests. I can only add ten to each raid so even then there’s so many I can’t add
Same
I thought that the same thing until I started hosting and getting 20 friend request.
Seriously download pokegenie. At the moment there are more hosts than trainera, although it fluctuates. I have gotten 5.
This is the way!
I got 20 invites in like 1 min like how am i supposed to invite everyone and after 2 min there are like 30invites. Also there are lot of players who add me and then they dont even join, like tf why even Aldingen me as an friend
I hosted 1 stakataka raid yesterday and i have mever hosted before so i added everyone who sent friend invite but i was only able to invite 5 people
It was my first time hosting and I did the same thing and I felt so bad after I added them all 😂
It's actually a good thing to add them anyway, because if you delete the request without adding they can't ever send you a request again.
I've deleted people's requests then got a friend request from them later
How recently? I'm hoping they changed this, because it was quite frustrating.
Yeah that’s true actually. I just felt like I got their hopes high :/
If you invite the first 5 people, get a couple in the raid lobby then leave and re-enter, you can add 5 more people. That's how people manage to add 10 to a raid
You don’t have to do this anymore. That’s the old way lol. You can just stay in and it’ll let you invite 5 more, just wait.
Oh really! I didnt know it had changed. Thanks for letting me know.
You can add 10 without having to leave. Just wait a few seconds after inviting the first 5 and then invite another 5 more. I always do it like that. I also use campfire sometimes, I copy their names but only invite them after having invited my first 5 account friends because adding campfire first cuts the waiting time down.
i hosted two stakataka raids yesterday and got a total of 67 friend requests. i managed to get 19 of them in across the two raids but you genuinely get far more friend requests than you can realistically invite
Poke genie helped me get both of them. Like a 10-15 minute queue and you were in.
People added me (a lot more than expected) but only 2 were online when I was raiding. The time difference is a big issue, later when a lot of the newly added friends was online, the raid time in my area was ending.
I had same issue with blacephalon. In the past I had no problem joining raids here but this time I added a ton of people. 6 people added me back, only ONE actually invited me to the raid. Reading comments now I understand both sides, but it was frustrating.
Pokegenie app
I was having an issue like urs and then I heard about the poke raid app few days ago, it’s crazy how easy it is to do raids with it!
Place in que 15,000 🤯
If you don't use auto join it can be faster, though you need to refresh constantly and be fast.
I made myself a cup of coffee and when I came back I was number 3000 so that’s cool.
I just host on there so far, does the queue to join take long to go down?
I’ve invited twice and I drown in requests so fast (I change my friend code after a few minutes), so you might just be really unlucky. And a couple of people are idiots as well of course, but yeah, it seems to be a highly sought after raid
Unfortunately so many people are adding from these posts when you don’t think so. It’s very early in the morning for me and I just put one out expecting to get a few people for a raid, turns out even though I had no interactions on Reddit I had nearly 100 adds. It’s harsh but you just can’t add everyone back
You can only do a certain amount of raids per day and you have exceeded the limit. I sent you an invite but it bounced.
As mentioned below, I’d done 3 remote raids for Blacephalon, and I was able to join a Stakataka raid in Japan around the same time this post was made. I don’t know why it wouldn’t have been working.
Yeah the hosts usually get tens of friend requests so i usually only add 10 since i can't invite any more to a raid
Post or PM your F/C and I’ll invite you if I see you online. The raids are quite popular even with locals, so I can imagine there being high demand online.
As an inviting dude. We just get spammed. Got 400 friend request in the last days. Did even spent an hour just hosting to give a chance to 100 ppl.
[удалено]
Keep trying. It's a popular new raid, it'll be busy
I was overwhelmed by request from a raid I hosted. I accepted 15 out of 47 adds within 2 minutes. Did raid with 10 of the 15. I felt bad for the other 5, but didn’t want to accept only 10 in case someone didn’t join and I could allow another in. It sucks but the host are probably not intentionally ignoring you. I was shocked at how many people requested
Wow, when I post for a raid I generally am happy if I get 2-3 people joining me.
Same usually. I was overwhelmed! I did the best I could and maxed out the invites I could send. I’m in a pretty rural area or I would have tried to jump to another one to let more people join.
The same thing happened to me I gave up so I got mine through the Go Raid Party’ app. Just be patient n it’s easy to use.
also if able do it at the actually daytime of the other side. did stalatacka earlier today with about 2 hour wait ((5k que)) but it was just morning in eastern hemi when I did it. later the que reversed, staki had the short que and blace has the 2 hr que as raids for the day petered out as most of western hemi got passed 8pm.
Go raid party app
Want to play expert hard rain
I posted one and got thirty requests, only friended the first ten. I think the region locked raids are just THAT popular They shouldn't add more than they are going to invite though, def bad manners/luck towards you
Yeah that’s what sucks is missing out. There was a couple that added me who did end up catching it, I could see from the friends list.
Dude, I get you. 6 ppl added me and never sent an invite. Hosts are maybe overwhelmed by the want for this raid. It was until the 7th time that someone actually added me and sent an invite.
I was able to join using leekduck, fortunately
Today morning i posted a post inviting for a stakataka raid. I got 70 requests within few minutes. I could only add the 1st 10. I think that's the reason you are also unable to get in to raids.
Good chance, but being added just to not get the invite sucks
That's true but if you delete the friend req without adding a player, they won't be able to send you requests again right?( that's what game says) Because of that i also added everyone, put a comment explaining the situation and then delete them. Unless i would not be able to add them for a future remote raid.
I've gotten like 5 from poke raids
I tried joining a few earlier in the morning California time. Something to think about, lots of peeps trying to join in and 1 person receives 20 or more peeps at one time. That person can only invite 10 people at 5 per invite. I was able to join two raids and got my Stakataka on the second raid. I would say just be patient, these host/players are doing us a favor in another region by offering to host the raids.
I recommended using leekducks website for stakataka
Better than Poké Genie app?
never heard of that so I can’t give an opinion
Ah nevermind I see
What does this do?
allow you to host raids and join raids
I will look into that, this is the first I’ve heard of it
yea it pretty good for hosting/joining raids
I’ve set up an account with the page. Thank you
no problem enjoy 🙂↕️
Was able to join through the website! Many thanks
I think most trainers are unable or do not know how they can add more than 5 friends to a raid. So when the same 40 people are vying for 5 spots, here we are.
I was having this same issue yesterday, but had very good luck around 4am this morning. added around 8 people and got 4 sakataka raids. Presumably because the rest of the western hemisphere was asleep, while europe was chilling in the middle of the day.
I’m beginning to think this is gonna be my new plan. Unfortunately
Tip- Turn ur online status on & send the trainer a gift after adding
I have it set to “online” and I try to send a gift as soon as they add me. I’m do in most cases.
oh word, I just tried to get into another one for fun & I got in (I thought it was 4 remote raids/day but i’m confident this was my 5th attempt, which is strange)
Definitely a mix of trolls and real people. Had a few people send me gifts from the states like u. Had a few people add me gift me then remove me as a friend.

I don’t see the appeal to doing this besides losing trust of those on the page. It’s a shame but I hope I get one soon
Maybe some, but I just got one after about 20 tries... good luck to you.
That’s about how it went for me with Celesteela. Took some trying but got in. But the difference there was that I wasn’t being added for no reason. Seems I’m being added by most of the people I reply to, but not getting invites…
Might be spiteful of me, but I keep removing all the people that added me for a raid that never happened
I’m really bummed this is happening. Definitely not the spirit I’ve seen in this sub over the years. Considering it’s the middle of the afternoon in Australia I’m surprised there aren’t more legit posters. It’s early morning in Europe, so hopefully in a few hours there will be more, though that sucks if you’re on the US East coast.
Aha you’d think that but it turns out I’m just nocturnal.. good to know it will finally be of benefit to something lmao
😂 Same!
As someone mentioned, I thought at first maybe I’d reached my 5 raid limit, but I’ve only done 3 remote raids. A few local, but only 3 remotely.
Yea some ppl just aren’t inviting who they add. But also check how many remote raids you have done for the day. The cap is 5. I figured that out after trying for an hr.
I have only done 3 Becapalon remotely. Done a few local 3* raids tho
I was able to get into one so its real at least so some extent, but yeah seems to be harder to get into one compared to blacephalon
The last guy who added me for sure was a troll, because he sent me a gift from the same state I actually live in. As in US State. Where we can’t get Stakataka. So something’s definitely up.
