Trainers, something’s brewing in the world of Pokémon GO. If you thought your remote raiding days were coming to a close, think again! Niantic is shaking things up with their upcoming events, and trust me, this one has potential. As we gear up for Fashion Week: Taken Over and Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day, adding Remote Shadow Raids is enough to make any trainer’s heart race.
This isn’t just run-of-the-mill news; it’s a big deal! Players can dive into Shadow Raids using Remote Raid Passes for the first time. That means if you’re sitting on your couch or are stuck in line at the grocery store, you can still join in on the action. It’s like that pizza delivery that saves you from cooking when you’re too tired, except it’s a raid and not pepperoni.
- The ability to participate in Shadow Raids with Remote Raid Passes makes its debut during these special events.
- The Pokémon captured through one-star and three-star Shadow Raids will flaunt a wider variance in Attack, Defense, and HP stats—hello competitive play!
- The five-star Shadow Raids might yield Pokémon boasting even higher stats across the board.
You might be wondering about the new IV floors for these Shadow Raids. Well, we’re still waiting on confirmation, but expect updates soon as Fashion Week: Taken Over kicks off at midnight. The prospect of those 1-Star and 3-Star raids sounds enticing enough to shake off my gaming rust!
Now, will this change stick around? That’s yet to be seen. But if player participation is high, who could resist this opportunity… it could become a permanent fixture. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely feeling more optimistic about both events now that I won’t need to physically gather with other trainers to partake in some good old-fashioned raid battling.
This update hints at changing dynamics within our beloved game. Are we seeing signs of a new era where distance doesn’t have to dictate participation? After months of stagnant gameplay options, it feels like a breath of fresh air. I’d love to hear what you all think about this development. Remote Shadow Raids going to change how you approach raids? What are your thoughts on stat variations? Hit me up with your stories or concerns!
