Mark your calendars for April 13th because Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day is set to bring the heat from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. This three-hour event is your golden window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage with some of the toughest fighters in the Pokéworld.
Kicking off the event is the formidable Mega Heracross, making its grand entrance in Mega Raids. But the action doesn't stop there. Hariyama and Scraggy will also be stepping into the ring for regular raids, with enhanced chances to encounter their Shiny forms. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, and you'll want to come prepared with your top counters to tackle these powerhouses.
Beyond the thrill of raids, this event introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and has the potential to decrease your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Mastering Upper Hand could be your key to victory in your upcoming battles.
The event comes loaded with bonuses to keep you in the fight. You can snag up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend, the Remote Raid Pass limit is bumped up to 20, allowing you to join the fray from anywhere.
For just $4.99, a special ticket unlocks a treasure trove of benefits, including additional Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher drop rate for Rare Candy XL. And don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards to enhance your gameplay experience.
Make sure to dive into the free Timed Research during the event. Complete it before time's up, and you'll be rewarded with heaps of Stardust and extra boosts to fuel your raid adventures. Plus, keep an eye out for the exclusive bonus ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further enhance your battling capabilities.
