Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping event as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day hits the scene on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you have a three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and take on some of the fiercest fighters in the game.

The event kicks off with the formidable Mega Heracross dominating Mega Raids. But don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, who will be making their presence felt in regular raids with enhanced Shiny encounter rates. It's a Fighting-type extravaganza, so arm yourself with the best counters to dominate the arena.

Beyond the raids, this event introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can decrease your opponent’s Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power hit. It's a versatile move that could give you the upper hand in your next battle.

The bonuses don't stop there. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and for this weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit jumps to 20, allowing you more opportunities to engage in battles from anywhere.

For just $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Make sure to use *Pokémon Go codes* to snag some fantastic freebies!

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research during the event. Finish it before time runs out, and you'll earn a substantial amount of Stardust along with some handy raid boosts. There's also a special ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass.
