Pokemon GOplayers may not be able to roam around their cities with big groups of friends just yet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be taking part in any Legendary Battle Raids this month. The mobile AR game’sRemote Raid Passesallow players to raid at nearby Gyms and the next Legendary rotation is going to provide some great motivation to take part in those battles.
Starting tomorrow,Pokemon GOplayers will have a chance to battle against the Legendary Pokemon Terrakion in five star Battle Raids. That news combined withtwo upcoming Raid Hoursis likely going to help Pokemon GO sell a lot of the Remote Raid Passes this over the next few weeks.
