Raids in the online game Pokemon GO are carried out in different gyms in the form of temporary instances, and are available for trainers from level 5. Up to 20 players can take part in the raid. During the raid, trainers fight a very strong Pokemon - Bossom raid. Such battles take place in certain rooms that allow players to organize battles with powerful monsters.

There are private and public instances that can be played solo or with different teams.

What is raid in Pokémon GO

Raid Battle is a cooperative social gaming feature that encourages players to work and win together.

Such battles can take place on towers where a large raid egg was present and hatched. From such an egg, a random Boss raid appears, which is planned by the developers for a certain game cycle.

To enter the raid battle, you will need a free or paid premium Battle Pass. Please note that there can only be 1 free raid pass in your inventory and can be obtained by visiting the gym. There is no such limitation on premium passes.

Recently, Pokemon GO has an opportunity to conduct raid battles from homeusing the item Remote Raid Pass.
