Get ready for an action-packed day as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day hits 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.
The event kicks off with Mega Heracross dominating Mega Raids. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be powering through regular raids with enhanced Shiny encounter rates. It's a full-on Fighting-type festival, so make sure you come armed with your strongest counters.
Beyond the raids, a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand will be introduced. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially reduce your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit, giving you a strategic advantage in your battles.
The event comes with a host of bonuses to enhance your experience. You can earn up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for this weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, allowing you more opportunities to battle from a distance.
For just $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards!
Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Finish it before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and additional raid boosts. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a special bonus ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass.
