Pokemon Go is largely a social game, just as it was when it first released all the way back in 2016 (that makes me feel ancient). While large parts of the game have been made remote, mostly down to that whole global pandemic thing that made getting out a bit tricky, events like Max Battles and Shadow Raids were introduced to keep the more social, in-person spirit of the game alive.
Unfortunately, there are large numbers of people that live in more rural areas that have been unable to try out these events, as Max Battles and Shadow Raids are a lot less common out in the countryside, and that's even assuming you can get enough people in one place to try one out. It's been a big problem for Pokemon Go for a while, and now the game is finally about to do something about it.
Announced earlier today, Pokemon Go will soon be letting players access Shadow Raids and Max Battles remotely. Starting on the Crown Clash: Taken Over event on May 13, Shadow Raids can be accessed by using a Remote Raid Pass, and the ability to do this will stick around after the event finishes....
