Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

While you eagerly anticipate the debut of Tinkatink, get ready for some intense action because Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day is set to electrify your gaming experience 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 most formidable fighters in the Pokéworld.

The event kicks off with the mighty Mega Heracross making its grand entrance into Mega Raids, bringing a whirlwind of power with it. But that's not all; Hariyama and Scraggy will also be stepping into the regular raid scene, both with heightened chances of encountering their Shiny forms. It's a bonanza for Fighting-type enthusiasts, so make sure to come armed with your most effective counters.

Beyond the adrenaline-pumping raids, Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move allows the featured Pokémon to unleash a 70-power strike in Trainer Battles, which may also reduce your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it packs a solid 50-power punch. Adding Upper Hand to your arsenal could give you the competitive edge you need.

The event also comes packed with enticing bonuses. You can snag up to six free Raid Passes simply by spinning Gym Photo Discs. For one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, offering you more opportunities to join battles from the comfort of your home.

For those looking to maximize their gains, a $4.99 ticket unlocks an array of additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, enhanced Stardust collection, and an improved chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards!

Be sure to engage with the free Timed Research available during the event. Completing it before time runs out will reward you with a substantial amount of Stardust and additional raid-enhancing boosts. And for an even more rewarding experience, consider the bonus ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass.
