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

by Jacob Apr 13,2025

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.
