Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to get free remote raid tickets , I think you may be interested in learning more about this possibility.
Well, as you may have guessed from the name, these tickets are used to participate in raids directly from your home . Put simply, instead of physically going in front of the Gym involved, just press on the Pokémon nearby box , present at the bottom right, select the RAID option and possibly enter the raid waiting queue .
I remember that raids require you to defeat a Pokémon Boss along with the other Trainers in the area, in order to obtain rewards such as special items and have a chance to catch that particular Pokémon . Among other things, in this context you might be interested in taking a look at my tutorial related to the best moves in Pokémon GO , which could come in handy in battle. In short, a not bad possibility, considering that you can stay comfortable on your sofa.
For the rest, I remind you that there are various limitations to be taken into account. In fact, a maximum of 5 Trainers per raid can log in via a ticket remotely : if there are more, you will join a new queue . Also, typically each player can have a maximum of 3 tickets remotely inside their Backpack .
Also note the fact that, despite the gameplay being essentially the same, participating in a raid by physically going close to a Gym and remotely have a difference. In fact, the attack power of the Pokémon of those who participate in the remote raid has been reduced by Niantic, so as not to unbalance the battle too much.
For completeness of information, before leaving, you must know that the information provided in this guide goes beyond those present in my tutorial on how to play Pokémon GO without moving , which you may be interested in consulting.
In fact, the latter refers to interesting game mechanics if you don’t want to move too much, from the Aroma to the Lure Module , passing through the Adventure Sync feature . In short, this is other information that could certainly be useful to you.
How to get free remote raid tickets on Pokémon GO
After analyzing the situation in general, I would say that it is time to take action and see how to actually get tickets to participate in remote raids for free on Pokémon GO.
Shop
The quickest way to get raid tickets remotely without spending real money is to check the Store often .
In fact, in some promotional periods Niantic makes available to users free packages , which sometimes contain remote raid tickets . To give you a concrete example, remote raid tickets can usually be found inside the Event Pack .
To see if you are entitled to the latter, just open Pokémon GO , press the Poké Ball icon , present at the bottom, and select the Shop option . After that, if one of these packages is available, you will find the FREE section at the top .
In the latter there is generally the free daily pack, which however usually does not contain remote raid tickets, while next to it you could find, precisely, an event pack . In short, it is always good to take a look at the Shop and try to understand if there are remote raid tickets to redeem .
To give you a concrete example, a valid promotional initiative was that relating to April 2021 , in which users were able to receive, every Monday of the month , a free bundle containing a remote raid ticket . More information in this official tweet .
For the rest, always remaining inside the Shop, I suggest you scroll down the page. In this way, you will notice that it is possible to buy the item you are looking for through Pokémonete , which is the virtual currency of the game.
More precisely, the prices are typically 100 Pokémonete for a remote raid ticket and 250 Pokémonete for 3 remote raid tickets . I remind you that Pokémonets can also be obtained for free , as well as obviously going through micro-transactions.
In fact, I remind you that it is possible to go through the system of the Gyms , assigning your Pokémon to the defense of the latter, to be able to set aside a good loot for free , which you can then use to obtain remote raid tickets.
For all the details of the case, I recommend that you consult my tutorial on how to earn Pokémonete on Pokémon GO , in which I went further into the details of what are the methods to obtain this currency.
Other promotional initiatives
In addition to the methods mentioned in the chapter on the Shop , which are also the main ones, in some promotional periods there may also be other possibilities regarding obtaining raid tickets remotely.
In fact, Pokémon GO is a constantly evolving title and therefore Niantic is always looking for new ideas to entertain players. In this context, promotional initiatives have been launched over the years relating, for example, to codes to be used to redeem free rewards.
But be careful: there are also scammers online, who promise free codes to get the most varied rewards within Pokémon GO. I strongly advise you to stay away from such proposals , following only known and reliable sources from which to obtain the various codes.
To be clear, sometimes the specialized press in video games has released working codes , active only in certain periods, to redeem, for example, free Poké Balls , so in the future it could easily happen also with regard to remote raid tickets .
You can trust that kind of report from reliable portals , which often get information from official sources , but better stay away from those who ask you to enter data, visit dubious sites, download strange files and so on.
Once this important premise has been made, to see if a code is actually valid, you can proceed in a very simple way: if you use Android , open the game, press the Poké Ball icon located at the bottom, then tap on the Shop box , scroll the page down, type the code in the space provided, under the word PROMOTIONS , and press the REDEEM button .
In this way, if the code is valid, you will get the expected rewards . Alternatively, the game will simply warn you that it is no longer possible to take advantage of that promotional initiative.
For the rest, if there is no space on your device to enter the code, you can connect from the browser to the official Niantic portal . Once you have reached the latter, just log into your account, using your Google , Facebook or Niantic Kids profile , and you will access the page to redeem the code .
Type, therefore, the latter in the space provided, under the entry Enter offer code , and tap the Submit button . By doing so, obviously if the code is valid, the next time you access the game from your trusted device you will find the relative rewards .
In short, now you also know how to redeem promotional codes for Pokémon GO in case the developers decide to offer remote raid tickets using this method, often used also for other useful elements related to the Niantic title.
To conclude, I remind you that there are various other free methods to access a raid , although obviously in that case it is necessary to physically go to the gym involved. In fact, users can get a “normal” raid ticket every day , simply by visiting a Gym.
There are also EX Raid Tickets , which can be obtained after defeating a Boss related to a raid . For more details on this possibility, I invite you to consult the official Niantic guidelines .
For the rest, since you usually “immerse yourself” in the augmented reality of the Niantic title and go on an adventure with your trusty team, I suggest you take a look at the page of my site dedicated to Pokémon GO .
In fact, in the latter you can find many other guides that could be for you, providing you with ideas for your gaming sessions or helping you to continue your “career” as a Pokémon Trainer.
