Less dps, the higher chance others will faint faster and less damage will be dealt to them. Meaning your chances of losing will be higher. So maintaining high dps is a strong key to victory
Yeah I just hit level 23 yesterday. I've only been playing since August 1st though. Thanks to the 10,000 XP from all the legendary raids I've done haha! But I don't have good typed Pokemon to beat raids with so I'm not much help. Though I have so far collected 2 Exeggutor, an Alakazam, an Electabuzz, a Machamp and a Moltres from raids that are all way higher CP than what my level can usually find, so that's been good. xD Definitely recommended for new players!

Yesterday a group at my uni did an Articuno and a Zapdos. We beat them but I couldn't catch either of them :'( Surprisingly Articuno was much harder to beat even though people had better counters for it than Zapdos! I've noticed a lot of people don't actually know much about Pokemon battling :P Yesterday people were asking if they could use Water types against Zapdos x_x
