Pokemon Go raids are a confusing beast. They were the first thing announced for Niantic’s augmented reality game in an epic trailer that saw thousands of trainers descend on Times Square to beat a Mewtwo. While they didn’t actually arrive for another year after the game’s launch, when they did, they were game-changing when they did. I have countless great memories of joining throngs of players moving from Gym to Gym to catch as many Rayquaza or Giratina as possible, and they’re the part of the game that has brought players together more than any other.
