In Pokémon GO you once again have the chance to receive 3 free Remote Raid Passes. Additionally, you can earn 5 more Raid Passes this weekend.
When will there be free Raid Passes?The Remote Raid Passes are available again through a box in the in-game shop. This is completely free and can be picked up starting Friday, October 30, at 10:00 PM German time.
But there’s even more Raid Passes for you. This weekend, you can also earn 5 regular passes.
Free Raid Passes thanks to Raid Day
Why are there free passes again?The reason is the Raid Day with Alolan Marowak, which takes place this Saturday. To allow you to participate in some raids, Niantic is distributing the free passes.
This is how you get the 5 free passes: These are the passes that have been available at every Raid Day so far. To receive them, you must also have completed at least 4 raids beforehand.
After each raid, you will receive another pass that you can redeem. You pick up the pass when you spin a gym. However, if you already have such a pass, no new one will be given.
This is what you need to do: To collect all 8 passes, you must first pick up the box with the free passes starting Friday. Then, on Raid Day with Alolan Marowak, you must have completed at least 4 raids to receive all the Raid Passes.
There are also Raid Passes here: Until the end of November, there is a free Remote Raid Pass every week. Always check the in-game shop every Monday to pick up the box with the free pass.
Why are there generally these gifts?The reason is likely the Corona crisis. Currently, many countries are tightening their exit restrictions, and many players may not be able to participate on Raid Day with Marowak. The Remote Raid Pass provides an alternative, allowing you to battle at gyms from anywhere.
