Pokémon Go is giving out a little something for everyone over the next few weeks. Trainers have a chance to get a free Remote Raid Pass every Monday in October and November all the way until November 30. Each Remote Raid Pass is going to be available for only a week, so take the time to check the in-game shop each week. In addition, in order to claim the free Remote Raid Pass, Trainers need to have fewer than three Remote Raid Passes.

The Remote Raid Pass allows Trainers to join any Raid Battle in the Raid section of the Nearby screen. Just in case you’ve forgotten, the faster you win a raid, the more rewards you get. Be sure to bring your friends and win as fast as possible.

October Community Day

There’s a lot happening this month and Trainers are sure to have their fill of activities. You can read all about that here. Now one of the things that we didn’t mention was the October Community Day. For this month, the featured Pokémon is none other than the Lizard Pokémon Charmander.

  • Charmander can evolve to Charmeleon, which can then be evolved to Charizard during the event for a maximum of two hours.
  • Trainers that take snapshots during Community Day are in for a surprise.
  • There’s going to be a special one-time purchase of the October Community Day Box.
