Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

As you eagerly await the arrival of Tinkatink, get ready for an action-packed event in Pokémon Go: Sparring Partners Raid Day, set to electrify your gaming experience 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 take on some of the fiercest fighters in the Pokémon universe.

Kicking off the excitement, Mega Heracross will make its powerful debut in Mega Raids. But don't overlook the formidable Hariyama and Scraggy, as they'll be crashing into regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny versions. It's a bonanza for Fighting-type enthusiasts, so make sure you come armed with your strongest counters.

The event isn't just about battling; it also introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially decrease your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Mastering this move could be your ticket to victory in your next encounter.

To enhance your raiding experience, you can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs. For one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be increased to 20, offering you more opportunities to participate in raids from the comfort of your home.

For those looking to maximize their rewards, a $4.99 ticket is available, unlocking additional perks like extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher drop rate for Rare Candy XL. You can also take advantage of *Pokémon Go codes* to secure a variety of free items!

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time expires, and you'll be rewarded with a hefty amount of Stardust and some valuable boosts for your raids. Additionally, a special ticket bundle in the Pokémon Go Web Store includes a Premium Battle Pass, making it the perfect addition to your event strategy.
