Many other players expressed similar frustrations, noting the difficulty of participating in a Shadow Lugia raid and capturing the Pokemon.
‘Yeah, it’s completely pointless. I live in a quiet area where very few people play. So there’s no chance of getting 5 people together in the same park/area to do a Shadow raid. I went into town this morning hoping to find Lugia raids, but there wasn’t a single person,” said one fan.

The reception of the Shadow Raids has been mixed among fans, and it is evident that many trainers are once again facing challenges with Shadow Lugia.
