Exciting Raid Day features

Firstly, players have been eagerly awaiting Mega Mawile’s arrival, and Niantic is making the occasion even more rewarding. Secondly, the Raid Day event will start on October 12, schedule to be from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During the Raid Day, several bonuses will be available. These bonuses are as follows:

• Increased Remote Raid Pass limit
  • From October 11 to October 12, players will be able to hold up to 20 Remote Raid Passes, up from the usual limit of five.
  • This change will be especially beneficial for rural players or those who prefer raiding remotely.
• Free Raid Passes
  • Up to five free Raid Passes can be earned by spinning Gym Photo Discs during the event. Additionally, purchasing the $5 event ticket will unlock eight more free Raid Passes, providing even more opportunities for participation.
• Boosted Rare Candy XL Drops
  • Players will enjoy increased chances of earning Rare Candy XL, which is a highly valuable resource for powering up Pokemon.

Shiny Mega Mawile – Enhanced Rewards

In addition to Mega Mawile’s introduction, players will also receive bonus rewards. These include: a 50% XP boost and 2x Stardust from Raid Battles, making this Raid Day an ideal opportunity to level up and gather resources.

Another highlight of the event is the increased shiny Mawile odds. Normally, shiny Pokemon in the game have a 1 in 50 chance of appearing, but during this event, the odds will improve to 1 in 10, significantly enhancing the likelihood of catching a shiny Mawile.

The Mega Mawile Raid Day offers an exciting chance for players to engage in exclusive battles, gain valuable rewards, and possibly catch a shiny Mawile. With increased Raid Pass limits and enhanced rewards, this event is set to be one of October’s highlights in Pokemon GO.
