What are raids and how do I participate in them?

Asked 6 months ago
Raids are special multiplayer events in Pokemon GO where players team up to battle and capture powerful Pokemon. During a raid, players have the opportunity to defeat a Raid Boss, which is a rare and formidable Pokemon that appears at a gym. To participate, players must have a Raid Pass, which can be obtained for free by spinning gym discs or bought from the in-game shop. Once a player has a Raid Pass, they can join a raid by heading to a gym with an active raid, tapping on it, and selecting "Battle." Raids are typically time-limited, and players must wait for other trainers to arrive and form a group before starting the battle. Cooperation and strategy are essential to defeat the Raid Boss and earn rewards, such as rare items and a chance to catch the Boss Pokemon.
