Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

As you eagerly await the arrival of Tinkatink, get ready to engage in some intense battles with fighting-type Pokémon during the Sparring Partners Raid Day in Pokémon Go, scheduled for April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a thrilling three-hour window to showcase your combat prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and go head-to-head with some of the most formidable fighters in the Pokéworld.

Kicking off the event is Mega Heracross, making a powerful entrance in Mega Raids. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, as they'll be flexing their muscles in regular raids with enhanced Shiny encounter rates. It's a full-on Fighting-type extravaganza, so arm yourself with the best counters to come out on top.

The excitement doesn't stop at the raids. The event also introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move allows featured Pokémon to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles, with the potential to decrease your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it packs a solid 50-power punch, potentially giving you the upper hand in your next confrontation.

To enhance your experience, take advantage of the event bonuses. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend, the Remote Raid Pass limit will increase to 20, allowing you more opportunities to battle from a distance.

For just $4.99, a ticket unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, boosted Stardust, and an improved drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards!

Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research during the event. Finish it before time runs out, and you'll be rewarded with a substantial amount of Stardust and other raid-enhancing boosts. Additionally, keep an eye out for a special ticket bundle in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass.
