Elite Raid Battle



An Elite Raid Battle is a special Raid Battle, featuring a red Raid Egg that appears with a 24 hours hatch timer and 30 minutes raid time.

Details
Elite Raid Eggs spawn and hatch at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time. Elite Raids feature rare Pokémon. Elite Raids cannot be entered with a Remote Raid Pass. These raid battles only occur at EX Raid Gyms.

Upon clearing an Elite Raid Battle, a special 15-minute bonus is activated around the Gym that hosted the Elite Raid. This bonus causes rare Pokémon to start spawning around the Gym such as Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Dragonite and Mienfoo.

An Elite Raid Timed Research is available since Regidrago raid only for Trainers who completed an Elite Raid Battle on that day.
