Get ready for an action-packed day 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.
The event kicks off with the mighty Mega Heracross making its debut in Mega Raids. But that's not all—keep an eye out for Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be crashing the regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure to bring your strongest counters to the battle.
Beyond the raids, Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can lower your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. It's a versatile move that could give you the upper hand in your next fight.
The event comes with a host of bonuses to help you make the most of your time. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and for one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, giving you more opportunities to battle from anywhere.
For just $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to snag some free rewards!
Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and other raid-enhancing boosts. Additionally, check out the bonus ticket bundle in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further enhance your experience.
