Have you ever wondered how those epic battles, known as raids, work in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into this thrilling aspect of Pokemon GO that brings players together for a challenge.

In Pokemon GO, raids are exciting battles where you team up with other players to defeat a powerful Pokemon, known as a Raid Boss. It’s a fun way to catch rare Pokemon and earn awesome rewards.

Quick Answer to How Raids Work in Pokemon GO

To start a raid, you’ll need a Raid Pass, which you can get for free once a day by visiting a Gym. Then, you’ll join forces with players nearby to take down the Raid Boss. If you succeed, you’ll get the chance to catch the Pokemon you just defeated!

Raids differ in difficulty, ranging from level 1 to level 5, with level 5 being the toughest and often featuring Legendary Pokemon. There are also Exclusive Raids which require an invitation to join and offer even rarer Pokemon.
