Get ready for an action-packed day as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day charges into action on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and take on some of the fiercest fighters in the Pokéworld.
The event kicks off with Mega Heracross making its debut in Mega Raids, bringing a surge of power to the fray. Don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be flexing their muscles in regular raids with increased Shiny encounter rates. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure you come prepared with your top counters.
But the excitement doesn't stop at the raids. Sparring Partners Raid Day also introduces a new Charged Attack, Upper Hand, which allows featured Pokémon to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles and potentially reduce your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, this move packs a 50-power punch, giving you a strategic advantage in your next battle.
The bonuses during the event are designed to fuel your raid adventures. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes just by spinning Gym Photo Discs. For one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, offering you more opportunities to participate in raids from anywhere.
For those looking to maximize their experience, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, boosted Stardust, and an enhanced drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to snag a variety of free rewards!
Make sure to engage with the free Timed Research during the event. Complete it before time runs out, and you'll earn a substantial amount of Stardust along with other raid-enhancing boosts. Additionally, consider checking out the bonus ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to elevate your gameplay further.
