Pokemon Go Is Making Big Changes To Raid Battles

Coinciding with the launch of Mega Evolutions, developer Niantic is making some significant adjustments to Raid Battles.</p><p>First, Niantic is removing two- and four-star Raids, leaving only the one-, three-, and five-star Raid tiers. According to product lead Matt Slemon, the reason these Raids are being removed is because they weren't as popular as the other tiers. Their value proposition also wasn't as apparent; for example, players would know at a glance that they could clear a three-star Raid with one or two companions, although it wasn't as obvious how many players it would take to beat a four-star Raid or what the incentive was to join one of those over a five-star Raid.</p><p>Although two- and four-star Raids will no longer appear in the game, the rewards you'd normally get from them are being folded into one- and three-star Raids, respectively. Niantic says this solution offers "the best of both worlds" and should make Raids more fun and rewarding to join.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-go-is-making-big-changes-to-raid-battles/1100-6481405/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
