We have had to wait a few weeks since its announcement, but it finally comes to Pokmon go the possibility of participate in forays from home without having to be physically in their place. The remote raid passes can already be found in the game store and Niantic, to celebrate this occasion, will bring again some special Pokmon to 5 star raids. We tell you all the details below.
How to participate in remote Pokmon Go raids
Playing remote forays into Pokmon Go is very easy, you just have to follow a few steps for it. The first thing, of course, is have reached level 5 Coach and get a remote raid pass, as Niantic has called the key object that we need to have in our inventory. If we go to the virtual store of the game we will find two offers for this pass.
- Remote raid pass: per 100 Pokonecurrencies (which equals 0.99).
- 3 Remote raid passes: for 250 Pokmonedas.
Also, for a limited time this week premiere players we can purchase a Special bundle of 3 remote raid passes for just 1 Pokone. Once purchased, the rest must be purchased at the normal price mentioned above.
Once we have the remote raid pass in our possession, we just have to select an incursion from the map, or from the corresponding menu from the lower right corner, and exchange it to dispute the raid even if we are not close to it. You can learn more details of how these incursions work in this other news.
Remote raid passes are now available in the in-game store! With this pass, you can join any foray you see on the Nearby screen or you can tap on the map. More information: https://t.co/BtN5HqwAs0 #PokemonGO pic.twitter.com/1ZQxnQb2dr– Pokmon GO Espaa (@PokemonGOespana) April 27, 2020
