- This article is about the feature in Pokémon GO. For the feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield, see Max Raid Battle.
A Raid Battle (Japanese: レイドバトル Raid Battle) is a type of battle in Pokémon GO that takes place at a Gym. The goal of a Raid Battle is for players to collaboratively defeat the Raid Boss, a giant Pokémon with significantly inflated stats, within the time limit. Each Raid Boss is stationed at a particular Gym for a limited period of time, and players must use a Raid Pass to challenge it. As with other battles at Gyms, up to twenty trainers can join together to fight the Raid Boss. After defeating the Raid Boss, players receive a variety of rewards and are given the opportunity to catch the Raid Boss.
In Pokémon GO
Description
A raid is a battle where you and up to 20 other Trainers work together to defeat the Raid Boss—an extremely powerful Pokémon. Win to receive fantastic rewards and a chance to catch a stronger-than-normal Pokémon of your own!
Mechanics
From 6:00 a.m. to 8:59 p.m. local time, a Raid Egg may randomly spawn at any Gym, which does not already have a Raid Egg or Raid Boss, with a timer counting down until it hatches. Raid Eggs normally have a one-hour timer, but it may vary during certain in-game events. Once the egg hatches, the Raid Boss appears, and a new timer begins counting down until the Raid Boss disappears. Normally, Raid Bosses have a 45-minutes timer, but this can also vary during some in-game events. While a Raid Boss is present, a player may join a raid to challenge it by spending one Raid Pass. And during this time, Gym defenders cannot be challenged, cannot be fed Berry treats, and will not experience motivation decay. Players will also not be able to deploy any more Pokémon to defend the Gym.
When a player uses a Raid Pass to join a raid, they enter a lobby with a two-minute countdown (from when the first player in that challenge entered the lobby), after which the Raid Battle immediately begins. While in the lobby, players can choose their team of six Pokémon to battle, use items from their Bag, or invite friends to raid remotely. The game automatically recommends a party to use based on the Raid Boss's weaknesses, as well as resistances against its move set. In the lobby, the player can see the other players currently waiting in that same lobby, along with which teams they belong to and whether their party has any Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Each lobby can hold up to 20 players; once a lobby has 20 players, newly joining players will instead be placed in a separate lobby for a separate challenge of that Raid Boss. If a player specifically chooses to quit a Raid Battle, either from the lobby or after the start of the Raid Battle, they cannot rejoin that same challenge*. Players can also opt to join a private group using a specific group code.
A Raid Pass is not removed from the Bag until the Raid Battle officially commences. After spending a Raid Pass, a player may repeatedly attempt that same raid until either they defeat the Raid Boss or the raid's timer expires. Raid Passes are not refunded if the player fails to complete a raid.
Difficulty
The difficulty of a Raid Battle varies depending on its level (also referred to as its tier or a by a star rating). A raid's difficulty can be seen even before the Raid Boss hatches, and it also determines the Raid Egg's color. A one-star raid typically has a basic Pokémon that can often be defeated by a single player, while five-star raids normally have Legendary Raid Bosses which may require at least several players to work together to defeat. On August 27, 2020, Mega Raids were introduced, featuring Mega-Evolved Raid Bosses of the same level of difficulty as five-star raids.
Raid Bosses of the same tier all have in common a fixed HP value, Attack and Defense multiplier, and time limit for the raid. The following table details the Raid Eggs and values associated with Raid Bosses at each raid level.
Raid Level | Egg | Time limit (s) | Boss HP | Multiplier |
---|---|---|---|---|
180 | 600 | 0.5974 | ||
3,600* | 0.73 | |||
300 | 15,000* | 0.79 | ||
A Raid Boss's CP, as displayed during the raid, is determined using the standard CP formula. Note that the Attack and Defense multipliers are not factored into this calculation.
where
- HP is a fixed Boss HP value based on the raid level
- Attack = base Attack + 15
- Defense = base Defense + 15
During certain in-game events, the featured five-star Raid Bosses may use a different HP value than normal. Although still classified as a five-star raid in game and yielding the same rewards, these raids have been given unofficial designations as a result of their significantly affected difficulty:
- "Tier 6" raids have 50% more HP than standard tier 5 raids (22,500* HP)
- Mewtwo — Ultra Bonus 2018 and 2019
- Darkrai — Halloween 2019
- "Tier 4.5" raids have the same HP as tier 4 raids, but still use the longer time limit of tier 5 raids (9,000* HP)
Raid Battle
During the Raid Battle, all normal battle techniques from Gym battles are available to the players. The Raid Boss attacks similarly to a Gym defender. As such, when a Raid Boss attacks, the damage is applied to all Pokémon on the battlefield. If a Raid Boss knows Hidden Power, it will always be set to Fighting type. The moves that a Raid Boss knows is randomly selected from its standard move pool and will remain the same throughout the entire raid. Therefore different lobbies of players challenging the same Raid Boss will all battle against the same move set.
The group of players must defeat the Raid Boss within the time limit, otherwise the Raid Battle is lost. If all six of a player's Pokémon faint, the player is returned to the lobby, where they can heal their Pokémon using items from their Bag and choose six Pokémon to use to reenter the battle with; meanwhile the players who still have conscious Pokémon in their party continue to battle the Raid Boss.
Players who raid with friends may deal extra damage depending on their highest Friendship level with another player. These bonuses are
- 3% for Good Friends
- 5% for Great Friends
- 7% for Great Friends
- 10% for Best Friends
Additionally, if any Mega-Evolved Pokémon are present on the battlefield on the players' side, then every Pokémon will deal bonus damage.
- 30% for all moves of the same types as any of the Mega-Evolved Pokémon's
- 10% otherwise for all other moves
Damage bonuses do not stack for having multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon present at once, and only the highest damage bonus will be used.
Bonus challenge
After being defeated, a Raid Boss will shrink down to normal size and can be captured during the bonus challenge. In Mega Raids, a Mega-Evolved Raid Boss will also revert to its normal form. Its stats will be reduced to normal, powered up to level 20 (or 25 if its type has a Weather Boosted), and like Pokémon hatched from Eggs, it will have random IVs of at least 10 per stat. The moves are also randomly re-rolled, so once captured, the Raid Boss may not necessarily know the same moves it used during the raid. Gender is the only fixed property, so different players winning the same raid will always encounter the Pokémon with the same gender.
For the bonus challenge, players are given Premier Balls to capture the defeated Raid Boss. These Premier Balls are the only Poké Balls that can be used, but players may still use Berries from their Bag. If the player runs out of Premier Balls, the Raid Boss will flee, but will not flee otherwise. Even if the player fails to catch the Raid Boss, once they have successfully completed a Raid Battle, they cannot participate in it again.
Each player may receive between 6 to 24 Premier Balls for their bonus challenge, in which amount awarded depends on the player's individual contribution to damage dealt, highest Friendship level with another participant, whether the Gym was under the player's team's control, and how quickly the raid was completed. Any leftover Premier Balls will be discarded and cannot be used for future raid challenges.
Raid Bosses have a chance of becoming Shiny during the bonus challenge if its Shiny form is obtainable by encounter. Since March 2018, with the introduction of Shiny Pokémon in Legendary raids, a Shiny Pokémon is guaranteed to be captured by the first Premier Ball that successfully hits it.
- Speed bonus
In addition to the above, a speed bonus is rewarded based on the proportion of the time limit used to complete the raid. In Mega Raids, Mega Energies corresponding to the Raid Boss is rewarded. All other raids reward bonus Premier Balls instead.
Time Used | Premier Balls | Mega Energies |
---|---|---|
10% | +8 | 90 |
25% | +6 | 80 |
50% | +4 | 70 |
75% | +3 | 60 |
100% | +2 | 50 |
Rewards
Upon completing a first attempt of a raid, participants are awarded 1,000 regardless of victory. Winning a raid awards all participants:
- Trainer level XP (amount depends on raid level)
- 1,000 Gym Badge XP
- Various item rewards
The following table was last updated August 27, 2020. It shows the quantity per bundle and an estimated probability based on empirical data.[1]
Since December 5, 2019, level 4 raids guarantee a Charged TM as one of the reward bundles.[2]
Following the retirement of level 2 and 4 raids, the prizes for level 1 and level 3 raids have been increased to match what used to be given from level 2 and level 4 raids, respectively. [3]
Reward | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Guaranteed | |||||
XP | Experience | 3,500 XP | 5,000 XP | 10,000 XP | |
Golden Razz Berry | ×1 | ×2 | ×3 | ×2 | |

Golden Razz Berry | ×1 (19.70%) | ×1 (18.35%) | ×2 (17.86%) | ×1 | |
Silver Pinap Berry | ×2 | ||||
Rare Candy | ×1 (19.70%) | ×2 (18.35%) | ×3 (17.86%) | ×2 | |
Fast TM (Lv. 15+) |
×1 (0.99%) | ×1 (4.59%) | ×1 (5.36%) | ×1 | |
Charged TM (Lv. 25+) |
×1 (0.49%) | ×1 (3.67%) | ×1 (5.36%) | ×1 |
The number of random bundles rewarded depends on the raid level and scales upward with the number of Premier Balls earned. The following table shows the number of random bundles rewarded based on the Premier Balls earned from:
- Damage
- Gym Control
- Speed (this does not apply to Mega Raids, in which speed does not reward Premier Balls)
