Flow of Invitations
First, let's review the basic information about raid invitations.
On the raid standby screen, you can press the invitation button to invite friends who are far away.
Invite online friends or those who have asked you for an invite.
The number of people you can invite varies depending on the raid.
For regular and Shadow Raids, you can invite 5 people each,
for Max Battles, 3 people each, and for GMAX Battles, up to 10 people.
▲ For Max Battles, 3 people
The raid standby time is 120 seconds, and after 30 seconds from sending an invite, you can invite again.
When the remaining time is about 25 seconds, you can no longer send invites.
You can invite friends up to two times, allowing time for selection.
Make good use of it!
In GMAX, where gathering players is difficult, you can split into two groups and invite twice, totaling up to 40 players.
If there are not enough players on-site, Raid Finder is very handy!
RSVP planner
RSVP planner seems to be a solution to the problem where players only gather immediately after an egg is broken.
Planning participation improves coordination and raid success.
This feature also has an invite button for friends, and remote friends can participate too.
The number of invites available is 5 each for regular and Shadow Raids.
For GMax Battles,5 each people!
▲ The blue calendar icon next to the battle button is a sign.
▲ Choose and set the time.
RSVP planner– Hidden Trick!?
RSVP planner allows you to call more players efficiently than during a raid invitation.
First, select the time to participate in the raid and set up RSVP, then invite friends as is.
Next, select the RSVP'd again and cancel it, then rejoin the same RSVP to invite friends.
▲ By canceling the RSVP'd, you can return to the original state in the first image and re-invite.
In other words, the sequence of join → invite → cancel → join → invite… can be repeated to gather many people.
For regular and Shadow Raids, two invites during the raid standby time can invite up to 10 people,
but with RSVP cancel invite trick, there is no limit!
There are also no cool time for invite and wait times like in regular raids.
You can also invite for GMAX raids！
Let's use RSVP planner for remote raids as well.
You can also use this method for remote raids.(Including the raids which you joined from the friend screen.)
If used well, you can also invite friends when entering an overseas-exclusive raid!
Just note that this cannot be done when the remaining time in the raid is very short.
