Finally a good Super Mega Raid...

I am not very fond of Super mega raids where we have to have min X people to defeat and they need to play right to contribute to the base number. Dragonite raids were disappointing. Malamar/Victrebell were okay with some flaws. Falinks Raid day was not reat either except for the fact that raid passes could be used on literally any other pokemon raids. But today's Skarmony raids are 100 times better than all other raids.

These are some that I loved.

• Ability to send 10 invites at once (I know it's there for a while now, but this event showed how much valuable it is). People were sending friend requests/raid invites hell lot faster, and overall number of people not joining/not staying in the lobby decreased by a lot.
• More gyms are added to super mega category (Big improvement from Falinks raid day).
• Mega level 1 unlocked for all encounters. Kind of a pleasent surprice, ngl. I never expected this from scopely (giving such bonus without advertising). A part of me believes it was accidentally applied to this raid instead of MM2 raids.
• I think most people (joining remotely) by now understood how to play. Almost everyone mega evolved their pokemon, used their charged attack, revived and used charged attack if fainted. And I literally won 100% of raids (14/14 => 10 local 4 remote ) even when there were exactly 7 people in the lobby. we also won comfortably with 400/350 mega energy rewards. (Maybe I was little lucky as my host level in pokegenie was high).
• The limit removal for Go pass for flying taxi + event time coincidence was expected but still a really good addition. Was able to reach 30->60 just from raids.
• The game trying to force the player to revive their mega by disabling ready was a good touch (not sure if it was there for falinks raid day too)

All in all a peaceful event for this weekend. And I also want to know if it was just for me or others (those who were traumatized by the earlier super raids) also found this event better and maybe slighly enjoyable.
