Shadow Raids and Max Battles are going remote in Pokémon Go
Trainers worldwide can finally rejoice. The Pokémon Go developer has confirmed Remote Raid Passes will be available for both Shadow Raids and Max Battles in May—and the change is permanent. The number of Remote Raids you can use a day will also be increasing from five to 10, giving you even more chances to take part as the developers make changes to the game. Here are more details on these exciting gameplay changes: Shadow Raid Changes Beginning May 13 with the “Crown Clash: Taken Over” event, Shadow Raids will become remotely accessible using a Remote Raid Pass. This ability will remain in effect after the event ends. Max Battle Updates Beginning May 19 with “Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day,” Trainers will be able to join Max Battles remotely using a Remote Raid Pass and Max Particles for the first time. This ability will also remain in effect after the event ends. Players who participate in Max Battles in person will earn additional Premier Balls and XP as a way to incentivise trainers who are still taking part in person. Trainers also need to use both Remote Raid Passes and Max Particles to take part remotely. Max Particles still have a limit on how much can be held at one time as well. More Passes and Particles Both Max Particle and Remote Raid limits will be increased, with the daily Remote Raid limit increasing from five to 10 and the Max Particles limit increasing from 1,000 to 1,500. These maximums may increase during special events, including May 24, when the Remote Raid limit will temporarily increase to 20. The news will be a welcome sign for all trainers who had pleaded with Niantic when it owned the game to increase the amount of remote raiding options and also stop having some features be local only. This feels like the first step in winning over trainers across the globe, and more changes could be on the horizon depending on the success of everything. Destructoid has reached out to the Pokémon Go team for further information about the changes and what went into changing the approach to local raids after all this time. We will update this article if we hear more information. The post Shadow Raids and Max Battles are going remote in Pokémon Go appeared first on Destructoid.
