Pokémon Go Introduces New Feature for Raid Battles – News

Okay, so here’s something I stumbled across—I think because my friend’s always dragging me into these Pokémon Go shenanigans. Anyway, no shame if you’re into it. Maybe it’s a clever way to get people outside. Or maybe it’s just for those sneaky lapras, who knows.

So, there’s this thing now where you can, I dunno, plan your raid battles ahead of time? Like RSVP to a raid. Because, yeah, apparently that’s a thing now. Want to invite your buds to join in the fun? Blam, you can do that too. It’s like sending out party invites but for Pokémon duels.

I vaguely remember something about these EX Raids. Major throwback, right? They were random and kinda mysterious—my friend always complained about never getting an invite. They axed those in 2020, probably because nobody wanted to elbow through a crowd these days.

Is it fun? Maybe! If you’re into getting outdoors and catching pokémon with friends. Or… you can just chill at home and think about catching them all. Up to you.
