Standing at the gym with an empty lobby? PokeRAIDchat is the lightweight crew tool for local raiding — built for the 2–20 trainers you actually play with. Since Max Battles went local-only, the best raids happen face to face again — but coordinating them still means buried Discord channels and group chats that scroll away. PokeRAIDchat keeps it simple: QUICK RALLY "Gigantamax boss at the park, 3 spots, starting in 30 min — who's in?" One tap to post, one tap for your crew to answer. Live countdown, spot tracking, and a chat for each rally. YOUR CREW A private group with a 5-letter invite code. Trainer cards with team colours and friend codes — copy a code with a single tap when someone new joins the lobby. PLAN AHEAD Raid Hour on Wednesday, Max Monday, Community Day — plan events with RSVP so you actually know who's showing up. ANONYMOUS BY DESIGN Just your trainer nickname. No game login, no email, no tracking. Everything stays within your crew. Content filter, one-tap reporting and blocking keep things friendly. Round up your crew and never raid alone again. — PokeRAIDchat is an independent, fan-made coordination tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Niantic, Scopely, The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., or Game Freak Inc.
