Now Playing: Pokémon GO Plus + Introduction Video
Once the update goes live, players will only be able to participate in five Pokemon Go Remote Raids per day. However, Niantic says this max limit could be increased during “special events.”
“Since their introduction in 2020, Remote Raid Passes have come to dominate the experience of playing Pokemon GO in a way we never intended,” Niantic said.
Players will be able to earn Remote Raid Passes via Research Breakthroughs. However, a player may only hold three Remote Raid Passes earned this way, as Niantic has implemented an inventory limit for these items. After the limit has been reached, players will earn Premium Battle Passes via Research Breakthroughs instead of Remote Raid Passes.
Niantic will, however, reward players who participate in five-star raids with more Candy XL once the update goes live. This is to incentivize trainers to play in person, which is the main focus of Pokemon Go.
