Raid Plaza gets you into remote raids for the bosses you want, quickly and easily. Pick a boss, add your trainer code, and a host sends you a friend request and a raid invite within minutes. No waiting queues, no group chats: the fastest remote invites on the store. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Raid invites: Legendary, Mega, Shadow and every other raid in rotation. • Max Battles: invites to Max Battles, Gigantamax included. • Gifts from other regions: get the regional gifts you're missing. • Bring your friends: request invites for several trainer codes at once and raid together for the friendship bonus. • Follow every request: see each step live, and why a request ended if it didn't work out. • Raid map: find raids anywhere, scan an area, and ask for a host at the raid you want. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your trainer code. 2. Pick a raid boss, a Max Battle or a gift region. 3. Accept the friend request in the game and join the lobby when the invite arrives. Your next raid is just a few taps away. See you in the lobby!
