As you eagerly await the debut of Tinkatink, get ready to dive into the action-packed world of Pokémon Go with the Sparring Partners Raid Day on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a thrilling three-hour window to showcase your battle prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage in epic battles with some of the fiercest Fighting-types around.
The highlight of Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day is the debut of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable power to the forefront. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, as they'll also be crashing into regular raids with enhanced Shiny encounter rates. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so make sure to arm yourself with the best counters to dominate the arena.
Beyond the raids, the event introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This powerful move allows featured Pokémon to deliver 70 power in Trainer Battles and may reduce your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it packs a solid 50-power punch. Incorporating Upper Hand into your strategy could be the key to gaining the upper hand in your next battle.
The event is sweetened with numerous bonuses to boost your raiding experience. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and take advantage of the temporary increase in Remote Raid Pass limit to 20, giving you more opportunities to battle from the comfort of your home.
For an additional $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks even more benefits, including additional 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 snag a variety of free rewards and enhance your gameplay!
Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time expires, 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, adding even more value to your event experience.
