The goal of a Raid Battle is for players to defeat the Raid Boss within the time limit. There are five levels of raids with Pokémon that increase in difficulty, starting at level 1 for basic Pokémon that can usually be defeated by a single player, up to level 5 for [[Legendary Pokémon]], which may require several players to work together to defeat. The following table lists the properties of a Raid Battle determined by the level.

There are five levels of raids with Pokémon that increase in difficulty, starting at level 1 for basic Pokémon that can usually be defeated by a single player, up to level 5 for [[Legendary Pokémon]], which may require several players to work together to defeat.  
 
During the daytime (exact hours vary by location), a Raid Egg may randomly spawn at any Gym which does not already have a Raid Egg or Raid Boss. When a Raid Egg appears, its associated timer appears and begins counting down until the Raid Egg hatches and reveal the Raid Boss; Raid Eggs normally have a timer of 1 hour. The Raid Boss that can hatch from the Raid Egg depend on its level.
 
When the Raid Egg hatches, the Raid Boss appears, and a new timer appears and begins counting down until the Raid Boss will disappear; currently, Raid Bosses normally have a timer of 45 minutes. While a Raid Boss is present at a Gym, the Gym defenders cannot be challenged or fed [[Berry]] treats, their motivation cannot be changed, and players who have defenders in the Gym cannot view the Gym remotely via the defenders; however, players can still spin the Photo Disc as normal. While a Raid Boss is present, players within range of the Gym can spend a Raid Pass to join a Raid Battle; if a player spends a Raid Pass at a Gym, they can continue to challenge that Raid Boss any number of times, until either they win the Raid Battle or the Raid Boss leaves the Gym, but their Raid Pass cannot be refunded.
 
When a player initiates a Raid Battle challenge, they enter a lobby with a two-minute countdown (from when the first player in that challenge entered the lobby), after which the Raid Battle immediately begins. While in the lobby, players choose their team of six Pokémon to battle the Raid Boss and use items from their [[Bag]] to heal their Pokémon; the game automatically populates the player's party with six Pokémon it recommends to use, depending on the Raid Boss's move set and the player's Pokémon stats and current HP. In the lobby, the player can see the other players currently waiting in that same lobby and the teams they belong on, with each lobby being able to hold up to 20 players; once a lobby has 20 players, newly joining players will instead be placed in a separate lobby for a separate challenge of that Raid Boss. If a player specifically chooses to quit a Raid Battle, either from the lobby or after the start of the Raid Battle, they cannot rejoin that same challenge. Players can also opt to join a private group using a specific group code.
 
During the Raid Battle, all normal battle techniques are available to the player. The group of players in that Raid Battle challenge must defeat that Raid Boss within the time limit, otherwise the Raid Battle is lost. If all six of a player's Pokémon faint, the player is returned to the lobby, where they can heal their Pokémon using items from their Bag and choose six Pokémon to use to reenter the battle with, while the players who still have conscious Pokémon in their party continue to battle the Raid Boss.
 
===Raid level===
A raid's level (also referred to as its tier or by a number of stars) ranks the difficulty of a raid from 1 to 5; more precisely, it determines the amount of HP the Raid Boss has and the time limit to defeat it. Level 5 raids exclusively have Legendary or Mythical Pokémon as Raid Bosses, and they are therefore synonymously referred to as Legendary raids. On occasions, some Legendary raids have been unofficially been designated as "level 6 raids", in which, despite showing as a level 5 raid in game, the Raid Boss has 1.5× the HP of a standard level 5 Raid Boss. So far, only these Pokémon have been in "level 6" raids:
* {{p|Mewtwo}} (outside of EX Raids)
* {{p|Darkrai}}
 
The following table lists the properties of a Raid Battle determined by the level.

Currently, raids are the only way for players to encounter {{alo|Raichu}}, {{alo|Marowak}}, and most [[Legendary Pokémon]]. {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Absol}}, and {{p|Shinx}}, which used to be raid exclusive, can also be obtained via hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s.
