Trainers, hold on to your pants – Niantic has just announced a few additions to the upcoming Fashion Week: Taken Over and Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day events! For the first time ever, you will be able to use Remote Raid Passes to complete Shadow Raids!
Here’s what’s being added:
- For the first time in Pokémon GO, Remote Raid Passes can be used to participate in Shadow Raids during the events.
- Pokémon caught via one-star and three-star Shadow Raids during the event will have a wider variance of Attack, Defense, and HP.
- Pokémon caught via five-star Shadow Raids during the events may have higher Attack, Defense, and HP
We are yet to confirm the new IV floors for Shadow Raids, but we should be able to do that tomorrow, as Fashion Week: Taken Over starts at midnight and brings with it a couple of interesting 1-Star and 3-Star Shadow Raids.
We also don’t know if this is a permanent change, but we get the feeling that this is a change that could be sticking around if Niantic sees high player participation. In any case, our interest has rose dramatically for both events seeing that they can be Remote Raided!
