Pokémon Go: Test Your Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day This Week

As you eagerly await the arrival of Tinkatink, get ready to rumble with the Sparring Partners Raid Day in Pokémon Go, set to electrify the scene on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you have a three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and tangle with some of the fiercest fighters in the Pokéworld.

Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day will feature the debut of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable strength to the forefront. Don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, as they'll be making their presence known in regular raids with increased Shiny encounter rates. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, and you'll need to bring your top counters to the fray.

But the excitement doesn't stop at raids. A new Charged Attack, Upper Hand, will be introduced during this event. This move allows featured Pokémon to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles, potentially lowering your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. It's a versatile move that could give you the upper hand in your next battle.

The bonuses will help propel you further. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, offering you more opportunities to battle from a distance.

For an additional $4.99, a ticket unlocks even more advantages, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, enhanced Stardust gains, and an improved drop rate for Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to snag a variety of free rewards!

Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and additional raid-enhancing boosts. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a bonus ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass.
