Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

Get ready for an action-packed event in Pokémon Go as Sparring Partners Raid Day hits the scene 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 game.

The highlight of Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day is the debut of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable strength to the forefront. But that's not all—keep an eye out for Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be powering up in regular raids with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure to bring your top counters to the battle.

Beyond the raids, this event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially lower your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. Adding Upper Hand to your arsenal could be the key to gaining an advantage in your next fight.

The event comes with a host of bonuses to enhance your experience. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, giving you more opportunities to participate in raids from anywhere.

For those looking to maximize their gains, a $4.99 ticket unlocks additional perks, 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 snag some fantastic free rewards!

Make 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 other boosts to enhance your raid performance. Additionally, check out the bonus ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further elevate your gameplay.
