In Pokémon GO the legendary lake trio is back and through remote raids you have the chance to catch Selfe and Tobutz. However, you will need international friends for that. We will show you how to get them.
This is happening right now: The legendary lake trio Selfe, Tobutz, and Vesprit is back in Pokémon GO. The problem is: In Germany, there is only Vesprit. Tobutz appears in North and South America and Selfe can be found in Asia and Oceania.
Since the summer, there has been the option of remote raids. So you could battle Selfe and Tobutz if you have friends in the respective regions who invite you.
Finding such friends can be quite tricky. Therefore, we will show you ways to find friends for these remote raids easily.
International Raids – How to succeed
How can that work? There are various platforms where you can team up with other trainers. The best platform for international raids is probably Pokéraid.
You can download Pokéraid for free from the PlayStore or from the Apple Store. Then you can proceed as follows:
- Register in the app – You will need an email address, your trainer name, your level, and your friend code
- Then the raiding can begin. Numerous raids will appear on the page, which you can join – but you must be quick, otherwise, the lobby will be full
- Alternatively, you can set up automatic invitations – but you will need to have earned coins in the app beforehand
- Once you are in a lobby in the app, add the group leader and they will invite you to the raid
- Then the raid can begin
This also works not just for Selfe and Tobutz. You can complete any high-level raids with it and even set up your own raids.
How to find international friends: If you do not want to rely on the app, you can also add international friends and raid remotely with them. But you will need some luck to be invited to raids by a corresponding friend.
For such activities, we recommend sites like:
