These Pokémon will be available in raids with enhanced shiny odds, offering a 1 in 10 chance of finding a shiny version. This event runs from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, providing ample opportunity for trainers to engage in raids with friends. In addition to the boosted shiny odds, players will benefit from being able to participate in 20 remote raids, allowing them to enjoy the event no matter their geographic location. One significant gameplay change for this event is that all featured Pokémon will now be able to learn the move Upper Hand, adding strategic value in battles. Trainers are encouraged to strategize and take advantage of the unique raid opportunities this day presents. For optimal performance during this day, consider coordinating with friends and using remote raid passes effectively to maximize your encounter rates. Make sure your Pokémon team is prepared to tackle these challenges, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow trainers in the Pokémon community!
