Pokémon Go Introduces New Feature for Raid Battles – Update

Okay, so you know that thing where you’re super into something and then bam—it changes, and you’re like, "Whoa, what’s happening?" Yeah, that’s kinda what’s going on with Pokémon Go raids right now. I mean, maybe it’s for the better? Or is it just confusing? Bear with me—I’m getting there.

So, here’s the scoop. Pokémon Go just rolled out a bunch of tweaks to its raiding system. And—wait for it—you can now RSVP to a raid! Yep, like it’s some fancy dinner or something. Not gonna lie, I laughed when I first heard that. You can also ping your friends with a virtual "Hey, wanna team up and crush this raid?" invite. That’s kinda cool, right?

Anyway, back in the day, it was all about these "EX Raids." They were like the exclusive party invites of the Pokémon world. Totally random—you never really knew if you’d get the nod. But they canned that idea in 2020, which, let’s be honest, was already a year stuffed with enough surprises. Pandemic vibes, right?

So, uh, that’s the update. Is it a game-changer, or just another blip on the radar? Who knows. Time—and probably a few adventurous raids—will tell.
