There is also a special Raid called an EX Raid Battle which is an invitation-only Raid. Upon defeat, a Mega Pokémon reverts to its normal form which can then be caught as usual in the Bonus Challenge with a chance of it being shiny.ĮX Raid Battles Main article: EX Raid Battle In the case of a Legendary Pokémon in a Mega Raid, they are assigned as Tier 6 and as such are exceptionally difficult, often requiring significantly larger raid parties to succeed. The amount of Mega Energy earned is based on how fast the raid is completed (at the cost of replacing the Premier Balls that would normally be earned). These Raids have a powerful Raid Boss, typically rated as a Tier 4 Raid Boss. Mega Raid Battles are a special Raid type that allows Trainer to battle Mega Evolved Pokémon in order to gather large amounts of Mega Energy for that Pokémon. Usually this is not an issue, but if a player is disconnected from the game during the last minute of the raid or Bonus Challenge, the Pokémon may become unobtainable from that instance if the Gym reverts to normal or spawns a new Raid Egg.

Similar to Rocket Encounters, the reward Pokémon from a raid can be captured until the Gym reverts to normal (thus de-spawning the Pokémon).

(Like with Shadow Pokémon, the trainer can not access their regular Pokéball supplies during this catch attempt.)

Upon successfully defeating the Raid Boss, each player is awarded a number of Premier Balls based on several metrics and then given the opportunity to capture the Pokémon using only those balls and any Berries they have.

Once the battle begins, the raid party has to defeat the Raid Boss within a time limit (3 minutes for rank 1-4 raids and 5 minutes for rank 5-6 raids) or they fail the raid and must either try again or give up the attempt.

Raid Passes are not refunded for failed raids however, attempting the same raid after failing will not require an additional Raid Pass, allowing a player to retry for free as much as they like until the raid instance de-spawns.

Exit the raid (to avoid losing their Raid Pass if they decide not to attempt the raid).

Invite additional players to join via Remote Raid Pass (must be done before the timer reaches 30 seconds).

Use items (such as to heal their Pokémon).

Modify their team or swap to a preset team.

Until that point, each player in the lobby may:

Upon entering the Raid Lobby, a timer shows how much time there is until the raid begins.

Each trainers' Raid Pass is consumed when the raid begins.

Up to 20 trainers may participate in a raid party (each local player may invite up to 5 players to join via a Remote Raid Pass).

They function otherwise the same as the open lobby.

Private Lobbies can be created if desired, which can operate simultaneous to each other and an open lobby.

When the countdown reaches zero, the Raid Boss will be hatched from the Egg (with a new countdown) and can be battled and captured (if defeated) until the countdown runs out. Before a Raid Battle begins, a large Raid Egg will appear atop the Gym with a countdown above it.Raid Battles occur only at Pokémon Gyms and might appear between 5:00 AM and 7:45 PM local time they are then available to battle for 45 minutes (the time window and duration can be changed during particular events).A Raid Battle is a cooperative gameplay experience that encourages Trainers to work with other Trainers to defeat an extremely powerful Pokémon known as the Raid Bosses and works as follows:
