For the first time in Pokémon GO, Remote Raid Passes can be used to participate in Shadow Raids. This is going to be possible during the Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day. Shadow Ho-oh raid day is scheduled for Sunday, January 19, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
In addition, Shadow Ho-Oh caught via Shadow Raids during the event may have higher Attack, Defense, and HP. This means more opportunity to have a Shadow Hundo Ho-oh or a purifiable hundo shadow Ho-oh.
Likewise, Remote Raid Passes can be used to participate in Shadow Raids during the Fashion Week: Taken Over event. Pokémon caught via one-star and three-star Shadow Raids during the event will have a wider variance of Attack, Defense, and HP. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
Having to use Remote Raid Passes for Shadow Raids in Pokémon GO is great.
In addition, the Remote Raid limit will increase to 20 from Saturday, January 18, at 4:00 p.m. to Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. PST.
