Raid Day is set to happen on April 13th, marking a special day for Pokémon trainers everywhere. On this day, Mega Heracross will join the Mega Raids, offering trainers a chance to battle and win extraordinary rewards. Get ready to dive into the world of battling and rewards, as the event brings a series of challenges and opportunities to enhance your Pokémon journey.

From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time, trainers will face off against some of the toughest Fighting-types in Sparring Partner Raids. Look forward to encounters with powerful Pokémon like Hariyama and Scraggy, who will appear in regular raids with boosted Shiny odds. Don’t miss out on the chance to encounter these fierce competitors and test your skills.

The event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand, which deals 70 power in Trainer Battles and has the potential to lower your opponent’s Defense. In raids and gyms, it strikes with a clean 50 power. This move could be the key to gaining the upper hand in your battles.

For added excitement, you can earn up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs. During one weekend of the event, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, allowing you to participate in more raids from the comfort of your home.

A $4.99 ticket offers additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, boosted Stardust, and an increased chance of getting Rare Candy XL. Don’t forget to redeem your Pokémon Go codes for a collection of freebies.

Keep an eye out for the free Timed Research available during the event. Completing it before the timer ends rewards you with a generous amount of Stardust and raid-ready boosts. There’s also a special ticket bundle in the Pokémon Go Web Store that includes a Premium Battle Pass.

Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy the Fighting-type frenzy on Raid Day!
