Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

As you eagerly await the arrival of Tinkatink, Pokémon Go enthusiasts are in for a treat with the Sparring Partners Raid Day, set to energize the game 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 encounters, and engage with some of the most formidable Fighting-type Pokémon in the game.

The highlight of Pokémon Go’s Sparring Partners Raid Day is the debut of Mega Heracross, which will be available in Mega Raids, buzzing with immense power. Don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, as they'll also be making their presence felt in regular raids during the event, with enhanced Shiny odds. It's a perfect storm for Fighting-type fans, so come prepared with your strongest counters.

But the excitement doesn't stop at raids. This event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand, which equips featured Pokémon with the ability to deliver a 70-power hit in Trainer Battles, potentially lowering your opponent’s Defense. In raids and gyms, it packs a 50-power punch. This move could be the key to tipping the scales in your favor during intense battles.

Enhancing your experience are the event bonuses. You can gather up to six free Raid Passes simply by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend, the Remote Raid Pass limit will increase to 20, offering more opportunities to participate in raids from anywhere.

For those looking to maximize their gains, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards!

Make sure to tackle the free Timed Research available during the event. Completing it before time expires will reward you with a substantial amount of Stardust and extra boosts to enhance your raid performance. Additionally, you can grab a bonus ticket bundle from the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass, to further enrich your gaming experience.
