Pokemon Go is mostly about finding and catching Pokemon, but gym battles have also been an important component of the game. Raids take gym battles to a new level. Every few hours throughout the day, a massive egg appears over select gyms. When it hatches, a highly overpowered Pokemon — such as a 22,000 Tyranitar — appears at the gym. Pokemon Go raids involve defeating these Pokemon and that is going to take more than one player in most cases.

Pokemon Go raid rewards include Golden Razz Berries, Fast and Charged Technical Machines (TM), and Rare Candy. Technical Machines allow you to change your Pokemon’s attacks.

Rare Candy can be used to evolve any Pokemon, but you might want to stock these up for rare Pokemon.

You also get Premier Balls, a type of Pokeball that's required if you want to catch the highly overpowered Pokemon you defeat in raids. You can’t catch raid bosses with any other type of Pokeball, but you can use regular Razz Berries to make this easier.
