Here&#8217;s an overview of the upcoming changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With a Remote Raid Pass, you can access Raid Battles you can see on the Nearby screen from wherever you are.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll receive a bonus Field Research task daily without having to spin a Pok\u00e9Stop.<\/li>\n<li>As you run low on Gifts, your Buddy Pok\u00e9mon will venture to nearby Pok\u00e9Stops and bring some Gifts back for you to send out to your friends.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll be able to power up your Pok\u00e9mon to the desired CP by using all the required Candies and Stardust at once.<\/li>\n<li>After using a Star Piece, Lucky Egg, or Incense, you\u2019ll be able to use more of the same item to extend the item\u2019s effect beyond the usual 30-minute limit. No more waiting for an item effect to expire before you can use another one!<\/li>\n<li>Look out for other updates, including improved battle-screen design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Remote Raid Pass is a particularly interesting addition; with it, you\u2019ll be able to join any Raid Battle you can see on the app&#8217;s &#8216;Nearby&#8217; screen, or any that you can tap on the map. You&#8217;ll need one Pass to join one Raid, with 20 players in total being allowed to join the same Raid Battle.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, all Trainers regardless of location will have equal opportunities at launch, but as the world situation evolves, Trainers still using the feature remotely will have reduced attack power compared to those who make their way to the Raid Battle&#8217;s true location. Changes like this will be announced through Pok\u00e9mon GO&#8217;s official channels as and when they go live.<\/p>\n<p>You can find more details on each of the other changes listed above on Niantic&#8217;s <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/pokemongolive.com\/post\/raidbattleupdate-april2020\">website<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you been playing the game at home?
