Pokémon GO: permanently more Far Raids per day and more remote functions-that will change from next week
Pokémon Go Only weeks after the sale of Niantics Gaming division will let you soon do more activities from home.
However, the developers emphasize that this decision has nothing to do with the sale, since “discussions have been conducted about it for years”.
More activities without being on site
The upcoming changes stipulate that the number of possible remote raids is increased per day. There should also be new remote options for other activities. As Senior Producer John Funtanilla emphasizes in an interview with our English Eurogamer colleagues, this decision was made “100 percent” by the game management team.
The change for Fern-Raids is coming next week, you can then permanently complete ten pieces a day.
Fern-Raids were originally introduced during the Corona pandamy, but after the end of which, however, drove back again in order to move the players again increasingly to go outside.
From next week it will also be possible to take part in crypto raids and dynamax raids from a distance, which has not been possible so far. The changes will be made on May 13, 2025 at 8 p.m. German time. At the same time, the limit for Dyna particles increases to 1,500, at the same time you get more EP and premier balls when you fight on site.
Nothing that you decide quickly
The timing may be interesting in view of the sale to Scopely (Monopoly GO), but according to Funtanilla, this is nothing that is quickly decided and implemented.
“The time is very interesting for us,” admits Funtanilla, “but these are things that we have been discussing for years. I've been working on Niantic for a while, I have been working on Crypto-Raids and it is something that we addressed at the time. We discussed it internally and all about investing in communities and ensuring that we expand the gameplay.”
Ultimately, it is about finding the right balance. For this reason, there is still a daily limit for remote raids, even if this is now a bit higher.
”The increase from five to ten may seem a lot, but it is only a real increase, and I always make sure that we do not have to overdo it, otherwise we may have to take back decisions. The spell of Pokémon Go is still in the personal game and in the meeting in communities. It will always be the cheapest way to play-the level of difficulty will fall, and it is cheaper, Dyna particle without To use distant raid passes. ”
