A Machamp raid.
Raid Battles, or simply Raids, are a way to battle Pokémon with higher-than-normal CP. They appear randomly at Gyms. A "second round" is set to take place in 2018's Pokémon GO Fest which will include the next legendries from the next Generation.
Joining[]
Trainers will need a Raid Pass in order to join. Trainers can receive one free Raid Pass daily by spinning a Gym PokéStop. Premium Raid Passes can be purchased from the shop for 100 PokéCoins.
Raid Boss[]
