Niantic just changed an upcoming Pokemon Go event ticket for the better

After a previous announcement for the event caused confusion among fans, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, has revealed changes to Mega Lucario Raid Day.

Upon announcing the event, which introduces the powerful Mega Evolved form of Lucario, Niantic stated that purchasing the Mega Lucario Raid Day ticket would grant players with “13 extra Raid Passes from spinning Photo Discs at Gyms.”

Despite the initial intention for the ticket to award eight additional Raid Passes, there was some uncertainty surrounding this as it was also meant to provide five free passes to all event participants.

Upon realizing that fans had come to expect 13 Raid Passes with the purchase of a ticket, Niantic implemented changes.
