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!

About

CharaDUO

Read full description

Describe it. Guess it. Don't say the word. CharaDUO is a party charades game built for the way people actually play: standing up, phone flat on the table, everyone shouting. • Pass-the-phone or tabletop - works on any iPhone, and on iPhone Duo the fold splits the screen: the describer's word on the lid, a scoreboard facing the guessers. • Thousands of words across 12 categories - movies, TV, celebrities, animals, food, countries, sightseeing, superheroes, sport, brands, pop songs and slang. • Easy Mode - switch it on to get more common words, good for kids. All 12 categories stay available. • Words in English, Cantonese, Taiwan Mandarin, Mainland Mandarin and Japanese, with the whole app translated to match. • Reaction Reel - the guessing team's best moments, replayed at 1×, 2× or 3× (chipmunk voices included) and saved to Photos if you want them. • Private by design - video and audio never leave your phone. Unsaved clips are deleted when the match ends. The game plays fine with the camera off. • Free to try - your first 10 games are free. After that, unlock 10 more games or go unlimited with an optional in-app purchase. No ads, no subscription.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CharaDUO at 5.0 against Raid Plaza's 4.0. CharaDUO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). Raid Plaza's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
