Pokémon Go to Test Battle Skills in Sparring Partners Raid Day

by Emma May 15,2025

As you eagerly anticipate the debut of Tinkatink, get ready for an action-packed event in Pokémon Go with the Sparring Partners Raid Day, scheduled for April 13th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, you have a thrilling three-hour window to showcase your battling prowess, hunt for Shiny Pokémon, and engage in intense battles with some of the fiercest Fighting-type Pokémon around.

The event kicks off with the formidable Mega Heracross taking center stage in Mega Raids. Alongside it, Hariyama and Scraggy will be flexing their muscles in regular raids, offering increased chances to encounter their Shiny variants. It's a perfect opportunity for you to test your skills against these powerful brawlers and come out on top.

But the excitement doesn't stop at raids. The Sparring Partners Raid Day introduces a new Charged Attack called Upper Hand. This move packs a punch with 70 power in Trainer Battles and can potentially lower your opponent's Defence. In raids and gyms, it delivers a solid 50-power strike, potentially giving you the upper hand in your next battle.
