Raid Finder

JoinInvite

1. Setting Trainer Information (First Time Only)

Tap the settings button at the top of the screen and enter your Trainer Name, Trainer Code, and Trainer Level as shown in the Pokémon GO app.
This information is required for posting or joining an invitation, so please enter it accurately.

2. Selecting a Boss

Select the boss you want to join from the Boss List or the Invitation List.

3. Starting Auto-Matching

Set the conditions for the invitation you’d like to match with, then start auto-matching.
You may close this screen until you're close to being matched.

4. Sending a Friend Request to the Host

When a match is found, the host’s Trainer Code will be displayed.
Send a friend request and mark yourself as ready within 90 seconds.

5. Waiting Until All Members Are Ready

Once you’re marked as ready, the member list will be displayed.

6. Joining the Raid

When all members are ready and the host’s status changes to “Ready,” the host will send out raid invitations.
Use a Remote Raid Pass to join the raid.

7. Rating the Host

After the raid ends, please rate the host.
The rating screen will appear after you close the member list.

Notes

  • If you enter the lobby but leave before the raid starts, your pass will not be consumed.
  • After the raid, remove the host from your friend list so you can send another friend request later.
  • Invitations from Pokebattler (flag with a sword icon) are not eligible for auto-matching. You can only join these from the Invitation List.
  • If an invitation is deleted immediately after auto-matching, you do not need to start over. You will automatically resume matching when you select the boss again.
  • Even if you leave the lobby, you can re-enter the same one as long as not all members have left and the room is not full.

1. Check Friend Count

Make sure your friend count has not reached the [marker:450-person limit} so that participants can send friend requests.

2. Setting Trainer Information (First Time Only)

Tap the settings button at the top of the screen and enter your Trainer Name, Trainer Code, and Trainer Level as shown in the Pokémon GO app. This information is required for creating or joining an invitation, so please enter it accurately.

3. Selecting a Boss

Select the boss you want to invite from the Boss List.

4. Inviting the Boss

Enter the conditions and create the invitation.

5. Approving Friend Requests

Once you create the invitation, auto-matching will begin and members will be added automatically.

Join the raid and send member invitations.

Raid TypeInvite Capacity
Normal Raid10 people (5 at a time)
Shadow Raid10 people (5 at a time)
Max Battle3 people
Gmax Battle20 people (10 at a time)

※ About 35 seconds after sending an invitation, the invite button becomes available again.

Notes

  • If the lobby fills up before you send invites, you won’t be able to invite anyone. For busy gyms, create a private group using a group code.**

If You Find a Fraudulent User

If you find a fraudulent host or participant, select after the Trainer Name in the participant list to report them.
Users with multiple infractions will have their ability to join or invite restricted, and users whose Trainer information is likely incorrect will be notified accordingly.

By selecting “Block” when reporting, you will no longer be matched with that user in auto-matching.

    Hey guys, I need your help.

    I wasn't paying attention and almost completed this mission. My question is, do I have to collect the super radar, or can I just leave it open? I don't want Giovanni's current Pokémon and would like to save it for the next one. My question is, will I get the new mission if the old one is still open and beyond the first stage of progress, or not?

      It auto equips but you can then go into your item bag and unequip, leaving it there until you're ready to use it. Be careful though as you can only have up to three in the bag and you won't get new missions for more if your at the limit

      But if I have the radar in my item bag, I can't complete the mission. Will I still get a new mission, or do I have to collect the radar from the other mission as well to complete the mission?

      You hold super rocket radar until next round, use that one to complete previous mission and unlock the next mission, giving two of the shadow legendary you want. The Trainer Club youtube channel does a great job explaining it.

      You only get the new quest after completing the prior. Chances are you have a backlog of takeovers

      Exactly, if you don’t send the friend request, then you might as well have not joined at all

    This new update sucks. It was so much easier to see who was hosting a raid and to just click and join it. Now, this convoluted waiting room hodgepodge makes raiding too long and inconvenient. Please change it back

      Tap “Invites” and you can join a raid manually like before. Only you cannot see other guests.
