How to Get Raid Passes

If you want to accept the challenge and enroll in a Raid Battle, you’ll need a Raid Pass.

You can buy a Premium Raid Pass from the Shop or earn one every day by spinning the Photo Disc at any Gym you like.

Remote Raid Passes are also an excellent idea! They’re really great for trainers who can’t leave their houses, as they can join any Raid Battle that’s on the Nearby screen.
