Raid Battles Nearby - remote raids
Only one Remote Raid Pass is required to participate in each raid. And only a limited number of remote raid passes will be allowed to carry with you at the same time. As before, 20 players will be able to join the raid battle, but with a limited number of trainers using the remote raid pass. All completed raids with a remote raid pass will count towards any raid-related quests or medals of achievement.
Players fighting in raids remotely will have the same attack power as trainers who can fight in the raid's location. In the future, the attack power for trainers fighting remotely will be reduced. After that, the trainer fighting in the raid location will have a higher attack power than the trainer fighting at a distance.
