Get ready for an action-packed event as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day hits the scene 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 game. This is your chance to shine in the world of Pokémon battles.
The star of the show is Mega Heracross, making its grand entrance into Mega Raids. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy; they'll be crashing the regular raids with higher chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a bonanza for Fighting-type enthusiasts, so gear up with your strongest counters and dive into the fray.
Beyond the raids, Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can reduce your opponent's Defence, while in raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Mastering Upper Hand could be the key to dominating your next battle.
The event comes loaded with bonuses to enhance your experience. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and for one weekend, the Remote Raid Pass limit jumps to 20, offering more opportunities to join raids from anywhere.
For those looking to maximize their gains, a $4.99 ticket unlocks a treasure trove of additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher chance of earning Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to snag some extra freebies!
Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research during the event. Complete it before time runs out to earn a hefty stash of Stardust and valuable raid boosts. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a special ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass, adding even more value to your Raid Day experience.
