The Pokémon Go team has published a statement on its website offering some updates that will help players get invitations for EX raids, in addition to including some new features for traditional raids.
We remind you that these raids consist of events that take place in gyms, in which many players can face a Boss Pokémon in a multiple battle.If they win the battle, they'll have a chance to catch that Pokémon, in addition to other prizes available.
In EX raids, the operation is the same, except that the enemy we will face will be the feared Mewtwo. Now, the developers have included some variations with which users will have closest possibility to participate in these events.
News in EX raids
Through hints on the Pokémon Go website, we now know that EX Raids will occur more frequently in gyms that are in parksor sponsored locations, so if we want to receive invitations, we must take those areas into account.
If we are trainers with gold and silver gym medals, we will have a higher chance of being invited to an EX raid. Also trainers who have won other multiple battles in gyms. As we can see, experience is rewarded.
EX Raid start times will now be similar to those of traditional raids that take place at Gyms. Those start times are between 7 and 9 in the morning, something that will be useful for us to keep track of during those hours.
Apart from the new ways to organize EX raids, there is also news if they are cancelled. In such cases, Guest Trainers will receive an in-game notification, as well as receive Raid Passes and Stardust, in compensation.
Changes to Traditional Raids
Also the original raids are going to receive some updates. For example, Trainers will now reward Golden Raspberry Berries for completing Raid in the Gym. Another of the prizes that were awarded until now, the Potion and Revive medicines, will be reduced in quantity, but will increase in quality.
Good news is that now, the chance to receive faster and more charged Tech Machines when completing Tier 3 or higher level raids They increase. Once again, changes aimed at rewarding the coach's expertise. Of course, whether we win or lose in these multiple battles, we will receive stardust just for participating.
The latest news is that Magikarp is returning to Tier 1 raids. The triumphant return of one of the most beloved Pokémon.
