Frequently Asked Questions
What are Raid Battles?
Raid Battles take place at Gyms and let Trainers challenge a powerful Raid Boss. After winning, you receive rewards and an opportunity to catch a Pokémon. Some transformed bosses, such as Mega Pokémon, have a catch encounter with their standard form.
What is the difference between raid tiers?
One-star and three-star raids generally offer easier battles, while five-star raids typically feature Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. Mega Raids feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon and award Mega Energy. Difficulty varies by boss, your team and the number of participating Trainers.
What are Shadow Raids?
Shadow Raids are Team GO Rocket battles at Gyms featuring Shadow Pokémon. They have their own rotation and battle mechanics. Visit our Shadow Raids guide for the full explanation.
Which pass do I need for a raid?
Use a Raid Pass or Premium Battle Pass to join in person. A Remote Raid Pass lets you join eligible battles remotely. Max Battles are a separate battle format and require Max Particles.
How many Remote Raids can I join?
Remote Raid limits can change during events. For November’s Into the Wild event, the limit increases to 30 per day from November 9–13. There is no Remote Raid limit on November 14–15 during GO Wild Area: Global. Other dates follow the applicable standard or event limit shown in-game.
When do Raid Bosses change?
Legendary and Mega bosses follow the dates in the monthly schedule, while one-star and three-star lineups can change with events. Special events may also introduce their own bosses. Check the individual event guide for exact start and end times.
What do the CP numbers below each Pokémon mean?
The first number is the maximum catch CP without a weather boost, and the second is the maximum catch CP with a weather boost. These values apply to the catch encounter, which may differ from the form you battled.
How does weather affect raids?
Weather can strengthen attacks of certain types during battle. If the encounter Pokémon’s type matches the active weather boost, it can also be caught at a higher level and CP.
How long does a raid remain available?
Check the timer displayed at the Gym. Raid availability and event formats vary, so the on-screen timer is the best way to see how long you have left to join.
Can Raid Bosses be shiny?
Only Pokémon with an available shiny form can be encountered as shiny. Availability and any boosted shiny odds depend on the Pokémon and event; appearing in a raid does not guarantee a shiny encounter.
