Most players likely won\u2019t even reach this limit since you can only carry three Remote Raid Passes at a time, but the main concern is that Niantic is once again changing a feature that allowed more people to play the game in different ways to simply focus on \u201cin person\u201d content.\u00a0 For example, players who participate in a raid in-person are now more likely to earn Candy XL after it ends. If it was just a change like this to incentivize players to go out more, the concern levels would be much lower, but it comes at the cost of some functionality for another feature.\u00a0 \u201cSince their introduction in 2020, Remote Raid Passes have come to dominate the experience of playing Pok\u00e9mon Go in a way we never intended,\u201d Niantic said. \u201cRewarding Trainers with additional Candy XL and adding other new features are two of the ways we hope to further incentivize playing Pok\u00e9mon GO in person with your friends, family, and community.\u201d Related: The reaction to Pokemon Go\u2019s Remote Raid changes went about as poorly as expected Remote Raid Passes are being reworked so that they are included in the rewards for Research Breakthroughs each month, making them slightly easier to obtain. But the price of Remote Raid Passes in the in-game shop is being increased, so this is mostly a net negative for anyone trying to get this type of Raid Pass.\u00a0 The one bright spot here is that the limited number of raids might be lifted for specific events, so players who relied on Remote Raids to access some content may still be able to do so.\u00a0 As of now, Niantic does not plan to remove Remote Raid Passes entirely, but the developers feel that changes like this to push players back to in-person play are \u201cnecessary for the long-term health of the game.\u201d","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team-Go-Rocket-Leaders.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=831891"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":832017,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831891\/revisions\/832017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=831891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=831891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=831891"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=831891"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=831891"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=831891"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=831891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
