Yesterday Niantic announced some clear changes and explanations surrounding the EX Raid system in Pokémon GO as well as changes to the regular raid system. You can see the official announcement here.
This shouldn’t be a big deal, however, Niantic is constantly extremely vague with information surrounding every aspect of the game.
While I would still prefer that the EX Raid system goes away it is encouraging to have some sort of insight as to how it actually works. They are responding to a very common complaint with the game and one can only hope that they listen to the other valid complaints that many of us have.
From that announcement:
EX Raid Battle changes
- EX Raid Battles will take place most commonly at Gyms found in parks and sponsored locations.
- Trainers with a high-level Gym Badge are more likely to be invited to EX Raid Battles taking place at that Gym.
- Trainers who have completed a larger number of Raid Battles are more likely to be invited to EX Raid Battles.
- EX Raid Battle start times now take into account popular Raid Battle times at that Gym.
- Trainers invited to EX Raid Battles will receive an in-game notification if the EX Raid Battle is canceled.
- Trainers will receive Stardust and Premium Raid Passes when an EX Raid Battle is canceled.
And, also:
Raid Battle changes
- Trainers will now receive Golden Razz Berries for completing Raid Battles.
- The numbers of Potions and Revives awarded to Trainers for completing a Raid Battle will decrease slightly, but the quality of Potions will increase.
- The likelihood of receiving Fast and Charged Technical Machines for completing a Tier 3 or higher Raid Battle has increased.
- Trainers will now receive Stardust for participating in a Raid Battle, whether they win or lose.
- Magikarp will make a triumphant return to Tier 1 Raid Battles.
One can hope that this is the beginning of what will be much more clear communication from Niantic about updates and changes being made to the game. The real test will be seeing if having access to this information improves anyone’s chances of actually getting the elusive EX Raid pass.
It would be nice to get my hands on a Mewtwo before they do some sort of mass release and we start catching it with Santa hats in another month.
I every time used to read article in news papers but now as I am a user of net thus from now I am using net for articles or reviews, thanks
to web.
This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep a
reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
Highly energetic article, I loved that bit.
Will there be a part 2?

Really.. many thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that is required on the internet,
someone with a bit of originality!
Excellent article. Keep writing such kind of info on your blog.
Im really impressed by your blog.
Hi there, You have done a great job. I will definitely digg it and individually recommend to my friends.
I am sure they’ll be benefited from this website.
This post is invaluable. How can I find out more?
of course like your website however you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to
find it very bothersome to tell the truth however I’ll surely come back again.
This is the right site for everyone who wants to understand this
topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I
actually will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic that’s been discussed for many years.
Excellent stuff, just excellent!
Very rapidly this web page will be famous amid all blogging visitors, due to it’s nice

Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts.
After all I’ll be subscribing in your rss feed and I’m hoping you
write once more soon!
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously think this web site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be returning to see more, thanks for the info!
Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Keep on working, great job!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to
me. Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and
checking back frequently!
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and
let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few
men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this matter
to be actually one thing that I think I’d by no means understand.
It seems too complex and very extensive for me.
I am looking ahead on your subsequent post, I will try to get the hold of it!
Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s webpage
link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also do
similar for you.
This post provides clear idea in support of the new viewers
of blogging, that truly how to do blogging.
If some one wants to be updated with most recent technologies after that he must be visit this site
and be up to date all the time.
