Raid Passes are Items that can be acquired by spinning the Photo Disc at a Gym. The passes are used by Trainers to participate in Raid Battles. Raid Passes can only be obtained by Trainers on level 5 and above, because Trainers do not have access to Gyms before reaching level 5.
There are four types of Raid Passes:
- Raid Pass
- Premium Battle Pass
- Remote Raid Pass
- EX Raid Pass
To see currently-owned Raid Passes, players can check them on the Item Bag page

Due to COVID-19 pandemic:
Invites for EX Raid Battles are halted.[4]
| Details Trainers can obtain EX Raid Passes by winning eligible raid battles at EX Raid Gyms. Select Trainers will receive an EX Raid Pass via their Journal. When the player clicks on the item in the journal, an invitation will be presented and provide information as to when and where the EX Raid Battle will occur. The chosen EX Raid Gym will be one that has been recently raided by the Trainer within the past several days.[5] Starting on September 20th, 2018, when a Trainer receives an EX Raid Pass, they may invite one Ultra or Best Friend to participate in the EX Raid Battle with them.[6] |
