How to Start a Raid in Pokemon GO
Alright, first things first: find a Gym with an active Raid. You'll see a giant egg or a Raid Boss on top. Get near it, tap on the Gym, and hit the “Battle” button. If it's a private raid, you'll need an invite or a code. Don't forget your Raid Pass!

Just look for a Gym with a Raid going on, go there, and tap on it. Use a Raid Pass and join the battle. Good luck!
Find a Gym with a Raid, use a Raid Pass, and tap 'Battle'. Simple as that.
