🎫 Raid Passes
What Are Raid Passes?
Raid Passes are items you need to enter Rare and Legendary raids. Common and Easy raids are free to join - no pass needed!
One pass is consumed each time you join a Rare or Legendary raid, so you'll need to collect multiple passes throughout the week.
How to Get Passes
Raid Passes drop as rewards from all raid tiers. The progression works like this:
Battle Common Raids (free, no pass needed) - Raid Passes drop as participation rewards
Use passes to join Rare Raids - Even more passes drop here, plus better rewards
Save passes for Sunday Legendary Events - Use your collected passes for the 3 weekly Legendary raids
Common Raid (participation)
Moderate drop chance for all participants
Common Raid (top 1)
Very high drop chance for #1 damage dealer
Rare Raid (participation)
High drop chance for all participants
Rare Raid (top 1)
Very high drop chance for #1 damage dealer
Weekly Strategy
Daily: Participate in Common raids (every 2-3 hours) to collect passes
Twice daily: Use passes on Rare raids (2 AM & 8 PM GMT) for better rewards + more passes
Top 1 damage gives you a much higher chance at getting passes
Sunday 10 PM GMT: Use a pass to join the weekly Legendary event!

Raid Pokeballs are special balls used to catch raid bosses after defeating them. They come in tier-specific categories.
Important rules:
Easy, Common & Rare raids: Your regular pokeballs work, but Raid Pokeballs have better catch rates

💡 Tips for Success
General Tips
Bring your strongest Pokemon - Raids scale with player count
Check type matchups - Super effective moves deal more damage
Coordinate with others - More players = easier raids
Farm passes during the week - Don't miss the Sunday Legendary because you don't have a pass!
Stock up on Legendary Pokeballs - You can't catch a Legendary with regular balls!
Legendary Raid Tips
Prepare counters for all 5 legendaries - You won't know which one until Sunday
Ice types are strong against Rayquaza, Giratina, and Lugia
Dark types counter Mewtwo and Lugia
Rock types destroy Ho-Oh (4x weakness!)
Deal the most damage - Only #1 can catch the legendary!
