Pokémon Go Trainers Face Critical Bug During Primal Kyogre Raid

Pokémon Go players noticed a major bug when facing Primal Kyogre on its Raid Day, leading some trainers to wonder if their team members were suddenly dealing less damage.

Primal Kyogre Raid Day took place on March 17, 2024, giving Pokémon Go players the opportunity to capture one of the most powerful Water-types in the game.

Community consensus on Raid Day was mixed, with some trainers irritated by drop rates and others frustrated by connectivity issues, the latter issue prompting Niantic to extend the event.

One of the most notable issues was with the battle itself, with the information provided not matching what was happening in the raid, leading to a lot of confusion.

A bug during the Primo-Kyogre raid leaves trainers perplexed

Confused by a weird bug in Primo-Kyogre raids, a Pokémon Go player asked: “So everyone’s raids are constantly saying that everything and everyone isn’t effective, it’s that right?»

So everyone else’s raids are permanently saying everything and everyone isn’t effective, right? byu/megclemmensen inpokemongo

He elaborated: “Lol, it starts saying that before the raid even starts and it keeps going all the time. It wouldn’t be Pokémon Go without bugs, would it? “with an attached image showing Dragonite’s Superattack being “Not Very Effective”despite the fact that Fighting-type attacks are neutral against Water-types like Kyogre.

Noticing the bug, others responded in agreement, “Yes, it’s been at least a week for me,”and, “Yes, this glitch has been there for about a week now and Niantic hasn’t done anything about it.”»

This bug has been present since March 8, affecting several raids and even some PvP fights during this time. Strangely, the buggy message still appears in English even when playing in a foreign language, as several international players have revealed.

One player theorized, “Yeah and I’m positive it actually does less damage too,” believing the message isn’t purely visual, a theory supported by another trainer who followed, “Okay. I did a ranged raid where there were 13 of us but he kept restoring health when he reached yellow…”

However, unlike these answers, this is only a visual glitch that has no impact on the amount of damage dealt. Despite this, it confused players, leading them to believe their attacks were not dealing the intended damage, especially casual players who are not as familiar with type matchups.
