Get ready for an action-packed event as Raid Day rolls into Pokémon Go on April 13th! From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have three intense hours to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage in fierce battles with some of the toughest Fighting-types around. This is your chance to prove yourself as a top-tier trainer!
The star of the show during Sparring Partners Raid Day is none other than Mega Heracross, making its grand entrance into Mega Raids. But don't overlook other powerhouses like Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be crashing regular raids with increased Shiny rates. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure to bring your strongest counters to the fray.
Beyond the raids, the event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially decrease your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Adding Upper Hand to your arsenal could give you the upper hand in your next battle.
The bonuses during Raid Day are designed to keep you fighting fit. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and take advantage of the temporarily increased Remote Raid Pass limit to 20 for one weekend only, allowing you more opportunities to battle from a distance.
For those looking for even more advantages, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional perks such as extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher drop rate for Rare Candy XL. And don't forget to use *Pokémon Go codes* to snag a bunch of free rewards!
Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and other raid-enhancing bonuses. Also, keep an eye out for the special ticket bundle in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further boost your event experience.
