Pokemon Go fans have called out Niantic due to a lack of Drampa Raids during the Lunar New Year Dragons Unleashed event.
Drampa debuted as a 3-Star Raid target alongside previously released Dragon-types likeDruddigonandTurtonator.
However, some fans have lashed out at Niantic following the event, with many claiming it was exceedingly difficult to even find a 3-Star Drampa Raid.
Pokemon Go fans frustrated with lack of Drampa Raids
Aposton TheSilphRoadsubredditgained traction among the community after one trainer made a thread that asked, “Why are there so few Drampa raids?”
The OP explained, “I can’t understand why Niantic has decided to ‘run’ so few Drampa raids. I live in a city with 15-20 gyms and I can see only 1-2 Drampa per day.”
To solidify their point, the trainer also claimed the queue times showcased by third-party apps were also “crazy long” which they believed suggested other trainers were also struggling to find Drampa Raids.
“Shouldn’t [it] be in Niantic’s interest to have more raids and get some cash from people remoting,” the trainer asked the community.
Many trainers also expressed frustration with the scarcity of Drampa Raids. “I have seen 0 Drampa raids,” claimed one trainer, while another said, “I was just in Tokyo where there are so many gyms and I only saw 2 Drampa raids.”
Some players argued that the 3-Star Raid pool was simply too diluted to find many Drampa Raids. “Doesn’t help that the pool is diluted by a billion shadow raids no one wants, and even among 3* they threw in Salamence as a ‘bonus.'”
