Pokemon Go Developers’ Typo Leads to Best-Ever Raid Day Ticket

Despite a typo from the Pokemon Go developers regarding the ticketed bonuses for Mega Lucario Raid Day, Niantic pleasantly surprised players by honoring the perks instead of removing them.

Despite mistakenly stating in their original post that players could receive 13 additional Passes, resulting in a total of 18, Niantic has clarified that ticket holders can still only obtain a total of 13 Passes during any Raid Day event – eight additional in-person Passes and the usual bonus of five freebies.

As a result, Niantic issued an apology for the typo in their X post and confirmed that they would still “adhere to the information given.”

Trainers, we apologize for the typo in the description of the Mega Lucario Raid Day Ticket. To honor the information provided, we have increased the additional number of Raid Passes ticket holders can receive from spinning Photo Discs at Gyms from 8 to 13. #PokémonGO

The announcement of the “rare Niantic W”was met with joy and admiration from the Pokemon Go community. Some even expressed their gratitude, stating that such gestures are highly valued.

The trainers emphasized how the bonus greatly enhances the event, as it ensures the acquisition of the highly sought-after XL Candy from every battle. This will greatly aid them in strengthening their top attackers for both the Go Battle League and Raids.

The updates shared by Reddit user ‘aznknight613’ in a post were deemed the “best ticket”by everyone who saw it. They were thrilled with the great value it offered and couldn’t have been more satisfied.

Despite the chaotic last Raid Day of Primal Groudon and Kyogre, the various bonuses offered had convinced numerous individuals to invest in the US$5 ticket (or its equivalent in local currency).

Keep in mind that Mega Lucario Raids are scheduled for Saturday, July 27, 2024, between 11 AM and 5 PM according to your local time. This will provide you with a generous six-hour window to capture the highly coveted new Fighting-type Pokémon in the game, complete with its exclusive Fast Move Force Palm.

To receive the bonus Passes, you must also spin 13 PokeStops or Gyms. Therefore, it is advisable to find a location with a high concentration of them in order to complete the Raids efficiently.

To easily defeat this Raid Boss in Pokemon Go, it is recommended to utilize powerful Fighting, Fire, and Ground type creatures such as Primal Groudon, as well as the Mega Evolutions of Garchomp, Charizard, and Blaziken.
