As you eagerly anticipate the arrival of Tinkatink, get ready for a thrilling showdown with the Fighting-type Pokémon during Pokémon Go's Sparring Partners Raid Day on April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you'll have a three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage with some of the toughest fighters in the Pokémon universe.

The event kicks off with the mighty Mega Heracross making its debut in Mega Raids. Don't overlook Hariyama and Scraggy, who will also be appearing in regular raids with increased Shiny encounter rates. It's a perfect opportunity to test your skills against these formidable opponents.

Beyond the raids, the Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and has the potential to decrease your opponent's Defense. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power strike, giving you a strategic advantage in your battles.

The event comes with a slew of bonuses to enhance your experience. You can collect up to six free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, and for this weekend only, the Remote Raid Pass limit increases to 20, offering more opportunities to participate in raids from anywhere.

For just $4.99, you can purchase a ticket that unlocks additional perks, including extra Raid Passes, bonus XP, increased Stardust, and a higher chance of obtaining Rare Candy XL. Plus, don't miss out on the chance to use *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of free rewards.

Make sure to take part in the free Timed Research available during the event. Complete it before time runs out to earn a substantial amount of Stardust and other boosts that will prepare you for more raids. There's also a special ticket bundle available in the Pokémon Go Web Store, which includes a Premium Battle Pass to further enhance your gameplay.
