No this isn't a joke. The comments on the Facebook post announcing this don't disappoint:

I've now experienced this in 2 Mega Gardevoir raids. When a Necrozma fusion goes in the raid a single magical leaf just one hit Ko'd the Necrozma each time. When I had Shadow Metagross in it performed normally but Necrozma just died instantly.

Niantic has announced a change in charge move frequency for raid bosses. Will the sims be updated for this?

I've seen some discussion about whether the move durations have been reverted to those in the game master. I did a few raids and when I was live raiding it still felt like spark was 0.5s. I took a screen recording of a raid, grabbed shots of frames every 0.1s , tried looking at it slowed down, and to me it still looks like it's 0.5s. However, I don't have perfect tools for this, nor am I that confident that my analysis looking at the video/stills is correct. If anyone has a good suggestion of how to really tell for sure or would be willing to go through the video to check, I'd be happy to work with someone on getting the video to them for that analysis.

It's ridiculous that without weather boost or super effective damage we were able to duo Darkrai just using one mega Rayquaza each : https://youtube.com/watch?v=gBIIOAJNswU&feature=shared

When I do auto scan now the little window sits on top of the appraisal output which looks like it screws things up (the actual IVs calcy shows me start flipping). Is there any way to move it up where I'm used to seeing it? I looked in settings and couldn't see a way.

No video here because we can't use video but I was doing a solo Nihilego raid and just near the very end while I was attacking the health bar would bounce up a little. It didn't quite prevent me from doing the solo but it was closer than it should have been.

Now that my weekend is wrapped up (and most time zones are as well) I was curious how it went overall. For me, it was the most fun I've had playing the game in a long time. So for context, I definitely don't live in a big city. We aren't rural but the city by me has a population of about 12k, so it's a small community. Luckily our chat , while definitely nowhere near the size/activity at the peak hasn't quite died. We had various combinations of 12-15 people doing raids throughout the day. We coordinated well, worked to help each other out when there were connection or other issues, and in general just had a good time.

This means for US it was a great event. I missed doing raid trains. A

I know in general damage is applied at the 2nd to last turn of the move duration. How does this work specifically for 1 turn moves. In particular I'd like to understand the following sample situation. Groudon has precipice blades charged but one dragon breath will faint it. Dialga comes in and you instantly tap on precipice blades. Assuming no lag what happens?

a)The dragon breath lands, Groudon faints without using the move

b)Groudon uses precipice blades. Dialga faints, Groudon survives

c)both moves go off for a simultaneous faint
