Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day Event

Mark your calendars for April 13th, as Pokémon Go hosts the exciting Sparring Partners Raid Day from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. This three-hour event is your chance to dive into intense battles, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage with some of the fiercest Fighting-type Pokémon around.

The star of the show, Mega Heracross, will be buzzing into Mega Raids, ready to challenge your skills. But don't overlook other heavy hitters like Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be dominating regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure you come equipped with your top counters.

Beyond the raids, the event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a 70-power punch in Trainer Battles and can potentially decrease your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Adding Upper Hand to your arsenal could give you the edge you need in your next battle.

The event is packed with bonuses to enhance your experience. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and for this weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, allowing you more opportunities to join battles from anywhere.

For those looking for extra advantages, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional perks, including more Raid Passes, bonus XP, enhanced Stardust rewards, and an improved drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to snag even more free rewards!

Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time's up to earn a hefty amount of Stardust and additional boosts for your raid endeavors. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a special ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass.
