Niantic has recently released a large expansion for Pokémon Go. The update has totally changed the dynamics of gym battles and introduced new Raids system. Raids are cooperative battles in which you work with other trainers to defeat a powerful Pokémon and earn rare rewards.
Requirements to Participate in a Raid Battles
Before you can play in a Raid, your trainer needs to reach level 5. The process is very simple and quick: just visit Pokéstops and capture monsters to add the experience you need.
From this, the Raids can happen arbitrarily in any gym, and are marked by the symbol of an egg and a clock at the top of the building. When this happens, the little monsters that inhabited the place will be returned to their original trainers.
Use the Raid Passes
Along with the Raids came a new item called Raid Passes, which is mandatory to play and should be used at the beginning of all cooperative battles. Luckily, it's pretty easy to get it, since you just have to visit a gym at any time.
The new gyms work like Pokéstops, so click the icon at the bottom right of the screen and rotate the center symbol to win items. Once a day, the gyms give away the Raid Passes for free.
Gym Shields
In Raids, you must defeat bosses, the most powerful Pokémon in the game, which add up to tens of thousands of PCs (Combat Points). Bosses are divided into four levels of challenge, with level one being the weakest, and level four the most challenging. They Are:
Level 1: Bayleef, Croconaw, Magikarp and Quilava
Level 2: Electabuzz, Exeggutor, Magmar and Muk and Weezing
Level 3: Alakazam, Arcanine, Flareon, Gengar, Jolteon, Machamp and Vaporeon
Level 4: Blastoise, Charizard, Lapras, Rhydon, Snorlax, Tyranitar and Venusaur.
