What are Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go?

Pokemon Go Remote Raid Passes allow players to participate in Raids on the ‘Nearby’ screen or ones that are tapable from the Map view without going to the Raid location in person.

These Passes also allow players to participate in Raid Battles all around the world if they get an invite from another player.

Currently, Pokemon Go players have a chance to claim a free Remote Raid Pass via Research Breakthrough.

In 2024, players can complete seven days of Field Research tasks and mark them off in the Today View for a chance to get a Remote Raid Pass. Since rewards are random, players might need to open many Research Breakthrough boxes to get a free Remote Raid Pass.

How to use Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go

Using Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go is a fairly easy process. You just need to follow these steps:

1. On the main game screen, tap the bar with three Pokemon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then open the Nearby tab.
2. Tap ‘Raid‘.
3. Select any Raid that has a green ‘Ongoing’ button.
4. Instead of the usual green ‘Battle’ button, you should see a pink one that says “Battle using a Remote Raid Pass.” Tap it and then tap the Remote Raid Pass.

Once you do that, you’ll be in the Raid lobby waiting for the battle to start.

You can also enter a Raid by tapping any Gym with an active Raid in your field of view. If you get an invite from a friend, it will show up on the Nearby screen. You should follow steps 1 and 2, and you’ll see the invite at the top. Tap it and you’ll be sent to the Gym where you can follow step 4.
