What are Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go?

Pokemon Go Remote Raid Passes allow players to take part in Raids that are on the Nearby screen or tappable from the Map view.

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

How to get Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go

The only way to get Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go in March 2023 is via the in-game shop. One Remote Raid Pass costs 100 PokeCoins, while a bundle of three Remote Raid Passes can be purchased by spending 300 PokeCoins.

There’s no difference between getting one Remote Raid Pass or the bundle, which is something players think should change.

The only way to get PokeCoins in Pokemon Go without spending money is by leaving Pokemon in Gyms. They’ll need to stay and defend the Gym for eight hours to get 50 PokeCoins, which is the daily limit players can get with this method.

Are there any free Remote Raid Passes in Pokemon Go?

Currently, there is no way to claim a free Remote Raid Pass in Pokemon Go. When first introduced, players could exchange one Remote Raid Pass a day for 1 PokeCoin, but that offer is no longer available since May 2022.

We’ll update this section if a new offer shows up in the Pokemon Go shop or as a Research reward.

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 at the bottom right corner of the screen to 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.
