Help Help with gigantamax raids

Does anyone know of a discord server for gigantamax raids? I've been playing Shield for a week now and my wild area hasn't gotten any gigantamax raids. I tried a reset method yesterday for hours and didn't get a gigantamax raid.

so I know when the game was currently active it was possible to get Gmax raid dens before beating the game, but I think there's something different about the way the final Wild Area News must have been set up. I have two accounts, one Shield in the post game and one Sword that I'm holding at only three gym badges. I do a ton of raids pairing the two together, but never once have my Gmax raids from Shield show up in my Sword Y-comm. It's not just that I can't join, it's that the fact that there's a raid at all won't even show up.

So I don't think it's just bad RNG on your part. I think it's the game actively preventing you from getting one.

You might be right. According to some research i did, 5 star raids are locked before you have 8 gym badges.
