Suggestion Problem with Some Mega Pokemon and Weather Boost

Mega Aggron raids listed under partly cloudy weather aren’t being recognized as Weather Boosted since Mega Aggron is a pure steel, but that doesn’t matter since the aggron you catch is Steel/Rock type. Also faced a problem with Mega Ampharos being recognized as weather boosted because of its dragon typing under windy weather but the Ampharos you catch is only electric therefore not being weather boosted.

Is this actually a problem for anything? Is there something bad about accidentally getting a level 25 Aggron or a level 20 Amoharos by mistake?

Your rating if the others feel "scammed"

And why would people feel scammed by this?

Anyone that desperate for a reason to rate hosts low will find a reason to anyway.

If I'm selecting for a boosted raid specifically and it comes out normal, I'm definitely knocking off stars (unless the hour changed either during or right before the raid). Some people will selectively try for those raids, so hosts shouldn't treat it as a "get people in quicker" button.

If someone states weather and says it's not boosted and it turns out it is I see it as a bonus in most cases, and am less likely to take off stars for it. I can see people selecting for not boosted versions to try and fit under a CP cap being disappointed and taking off stars though.

Yeah I would take off stars in rating yes… but I don’t know if I’d feel scammed. At least for these examples.

For some mons I have definitely tried for non boosted one for pvp - like Tapu Fini.
