Earlier today, Niantic added Remote Raids to Pokemon Go. The long-awaited update allows players to enjoy Raid Battles from the comfort of their homes. The update was added in order to make the game more accessible to those social distancing, and it should keep players interested in Pokemon Go, even when they can’t play the way the game was initially envisioned. For some, it means trying out Raid Battles for the very first time, while others are just happy to have the opportunity to participate once again. It’s unclear if Niantic plans on keeping the option in the long-term, but the change certainly seems like a welcome one, regardless!

Climate has definitely kept some fans from enjoying Raids in the past.
Thank you #PokemonGO !! Just used my first remote raid pass & it was great! These remote features also help us living here in the desert,,it gets so hot that nobody goes out for these raids in the summer and now we can!!!

Remote Raids are keeping players engaged.
I havent done a raid in almost a week. I just did three remote raids from home. Needless to say, this feature is amazing and Niantic deserves every bit of credit they deserve.๐๐๐
