What are Pokémon GO Raids and How to Participate

Raids are collaborative battles where trainers team up to defeat powerful Pokémon located at gyms, available from 10 AM to 10 PM local time. To join a raid, you’ll need a Raid Pass, obtainable either for free from gym photo discs or through purchase from the shop.

For remote participation, utilize Remote Raid Passes to engage in raids from the comfort of your location. Upon successfully conquering a raid boss, you’ll have the chance to capture it using Premier Balls. The quantity of Premier Balls you earn depends on multiple factors, including the damage you’ve inflicted, contributions to the team effort, gym control, and bonds of friendship with fellow participants.

To maximize your catch rate, consider using Golden Razz Berries and strive for excellent curveball throws! Whether your goal is to capture dominant legendary Pokémon or snag that elusive shiny variant, the raid opportunities in December are not to be missed.
