Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

Author : Daniel Apr 17,2025

Get ready for an intense battle session because Raid Day is set to take place on April 13th in Pokémon Go. 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 with some of the fiercest Fighting-type Pokémon around. This event, known as Sparring Partners Raid Day, is your chance to dive into the action and come out on top.

Leading the charge is Mega Heracross, making its powerful entrance into Mega Raids. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy; they'll be flexing their muscles in regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure you've got your strongest counters ready to go.

The excitement doesn't stop at the raids. Sparring Partners Raid Day also introduces a new Charged Attack, Upper Hand, exclusive to featured Pokémon. This move packs a 70-power punch in Trainer Battles and has the potential to lower your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit, potentially giving you the upper hand in your battles.

Enhancing your experience are the event bonuses. You can snag up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs. Plus, for this weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, allowing you more opportunities to participate in raids from the comfort of your home.

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 drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to grab a variety of free rewards to boost your gameplay further!

Be sure to participate in the free Timed Research during the event. Complete it before time runs out, and you'll be rewarded with a substantial amount of Stardust and additional boosts to prepare you for more raids. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a special ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass, enhancing your event experience even more.
