Mark your calendars for April 13th, as Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day is set to electrify the game from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. This three-hour window is your chance to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage with some of the most formidable Fighting-type Pokémon around.

The event's highlight is the introduction of Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, bringing its formidable power to the forefront. Alongside it, Hariyama and Scraggy will be featured in regular raids with enhanced Shiny encounter rates, making it a perfect time for Fighting-type enthusiasts to shine.

Beyond the raids, Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces the new Charged Attack, Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles, with the potential to decrease your opponent's Defense, and delivers a solid 50-power strike in raids and gyms. It's a strategic addition that could give you the upper hand in your battles.

To make the most of this event, take advantage of the bonuses on offer. Spin Gym Photo Discs to collect up to six free Raid Passes, and enjoy an increased Remote Raid Pass limit of 20 for the weekend, allowing you to participate in raids from anywhere.
