Niantic is rolling out significant quality-of-life improvements for Pokemon GO trainers worldwide. The augmented reality game will permanently increase the daily Remote Raid limit from five to ten starting May 13 at 11:00 AM PT. This change comes alongside an expansion of the Max Particles capacity from 1,000 to 1,500 beginning May 19.

Originally introduced during the pandemic, Remote Raid Passes revolutionized gameplay by allowing participation from anywhere. These passes proved especially valuable for rural players and those unable to gather in person. The increased limit now offers greater flexibility in completing raids and catching rare Pokemon.

During special events like the upcoming Crown Clash: Taken Over, trainers can use Remote Passes for Shadow Raids. Additionally, a temporary feature will enable remote participation in Max Battles by combining Remote Raid Passes with Max Particles.

Mark your calendars for an extraordinary raid weekend from May 24-25 when the Remote Raid limit doubles to 20 per day. This limited-time boost coincides with increased Max Particle availability, creating perfect conditions for ambitious trainers to tackle challenging battles and expand their collections.

The Pokemon GO community has welcomed these changes, particularly players in areas with limited local participation options. The adjustments demonstrate Niantic's commitment to balancing accessibility with the game's exploration-focused philosophy while maintaining engaging gameplay for all trainers worldwide.
