Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

While you eagerly await the debut of Tinkatink, get ready to dive into the action-packed world of Pokémon Go with the Sparring Partners Raid Day event on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a thrilling three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage in fierce combat with some of the toughest Fighting-type Pokémon out there.

The event kicks off with the formidable Mega Heracross making its appearance in Mega Raids, bringing its impressive power to the forefront. But that's not all—keep an eye out for Hariyama and Scraggy, who will also be muscling their way into regular raids, offering boosted Shiny odds. It's a true Fighting-type frenzy, and you'll want to come prepared with your strongest counters to dominate the arena.

But the excitement doesn't stop at the raids. The Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand, which featured Pokémon can use to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles, potentially lowering your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power strike. This move could be the key to gaining the upper hand in your next battle.

To help you make the most of this event, Pokémon Go is offering a range of bonuses. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit is increased to 20, giving you more opportunities to participate in raids from the comfort of your home.

For those looking to take their experience to the next level, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, boosted Stardust, and an increased drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on the chance to redeem *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards!

Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time runs out, and you'll be rewarded with a substantial amount of Stardust and additional boosts to enhance your raid performance. There's also a special bonus ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further elevate your gameplay.
