Pokémon Go: Test Your Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day This Week

Get ready for an action-packed event as Pokémon Go hosts the Sparring Partners Raid Day on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you have a three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage in fierce battles with some of the toughest Fighting-types in the game.

The highlight of the event is the introduction of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable strength to the forefront. Alongside, Hariyama and Scraggy will also be featured in regular raids, with increased chances of encountering their Shiny variants. This is your chance to battle these powerhouses and add them to your collection.

In addition to the thrilling 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 has the potential to decrease your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit, making it a valuable addition to your battling arsenal.

The event comes with a host of bonuses to enhance your raiding experience. You can collect 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 to participate in more raids from the comfort of your home.

For those looking to maximize their rewards, a $4.99 ticket is available, offering additional 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 claim even more freebies during the event!

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 extra boosts to aid your raid efforts. Additionally, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a bonus ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass, further enhancing your event experience.
