Pokémon Go players will soon be able to take part in the attack from the comfort of their own homes, as developer Niantic revives the mobile game to adapt to the coronavirus epidemic and the decline of society. A new feature, Remote Raid Pass, is coming Pokémon GoA game store, which will allow players to counter attacks that appear on a nearby screen.
Niantic explained that the Remote Raid Passes would initially work in parallel with the standard game Raid Pass. Up to 20 players can join the same battlefield, but the number of players who can join the Remote Raid Pass will be limited (which Niantic does not specify). Sometimes, Pokémon Go Players using Remote Raid Pass will see their attack power decrease, as Niantic explains:
For starters, Coaches who fight from a distance attack will have the same attack strength as the coaches who are able to fight on a single attack. In the future, the ability to attack coaches in combat from a distance will be reduced. After all, a Trainer fighting on an actual attack site will have a higher attack capacity than a long-distance Train.
Niantic says it will continue to remedy the situation for Remote Raid Passes, including how players can invite each other to the attack using the home-based option.
Remote Raid Passes will be available at a "discounted price of 100 PokéCoins," Niantic said, but the "1 PokéCoin Offer with Remote Raid Passes" comes at the gaming store. Niantic has released dozens of bundles, including Poké Balls and other items, naming PokéCoin one since the start of public distribution channels.
Niantic made some changes. Each day, players will get a bonus research job without throwing a PokéStop. "These activities will be different from the Field Research event you get at PokéStops and will focus more on the things you can complete at home," said Niantic.
Elsewhere in the game, players will also receive in-game gifts – often obtained by browsing PokéStops – from their in-game Pokémon. Players will also be able to use Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Impense to increase the duration of their effects. In the end, Niantic makes it easier (and faster) to power Pokémon using candy and bird fitness.
