Get ready for an action-packed day as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day hits on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a thrilling three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage with some of the fiercest fighters in the Pokéworld.

The event starts with a bang as Mega Heracross makes its grand entrance into Mega Raids, ready to challenge your skills. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy; these powerhouses will be crashing into regular raids, with increased chances of encountering their Shiny versions. It's a full-on Fighting-type showdown, so make sure to bring your top counters to the battle.

Beyond the raids, the event introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move allows featured Pokémon to unleash 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially reduce your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it packs a solid 50-power punch. This could be the key move to tip the scales in your favor during your next confrontation.

The event comes packed with bonuses to keep you in the fight. You can snag up to six free Raid Passes just by spinning Gym Photo Discs. For one weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit jumps to 20, offering you more opportunities than ever to join raids from the comfort of your home.

For $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks additional benefits, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, enhanced Stardust collection, and a higher chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards to boost your gameplay!

Make sure to participate in the free Timed Research available during the event. Finish it before time runs out, and you'll earn a hefty amount of Stardust along with other raid-enhancing boosts. Also, keep an eye on the Pokémon Go Web Store for a special ticket bundle that includes a Premium Battle Pass, perfect for maximizing your event experience.
