Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

Mark your calendars for April 13th because Raid Day is set to electrify Pokémon Go with a three-hour window of intense battling from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. As you eagerly anticipate the arrival of Tinkatink, gear up for the Sparring Partners Raid Day, where you'll have the chance to test your skills against formidable Fighting-type Pokémon and hunt for Shiny variants.

The highlight of the event is the debut of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable power to the forefront. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be crashing the regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a true Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure to bring your strongest counters to the fray.

Beyond the raids, the event introduces a new Charged Attack named Upper Hand. This move empowers featured Pokémon to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles and can decrease your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Mastering this move could be the key to dominating your next battle.

The bonuses during Sparring Partners Raid Day are designed to enhance your gameplay experience. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and take advantage of the temporary increase in Remote Raid Pass limit to 20, allowing you more opportunities to participate in raids from anywhere.

For those looking to maximize their rewards, a $4.99 ticket offers additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Additionally, you can redeem *Pokémon Go codes* to snag a variety of free items, enhancing your raid readiness even further.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete the tasks before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and other boosts that will prepare you for more raids. For an extra edge, consider purchasing the bonus ticket bundle from the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to elevate your battling prowess.
