Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

May 16,2025 Author: Riley

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.
