When the Raid Battle is initiated, players enter into a lobby and a two minute countdown period will begin. During this time, players can view other raid participant stats and can pick a team of six Pokémon to battle the Raid Boss. By default, the game will pick six Pokémon to fight, depending on the opponent's type, moves, as well as the player's Pokémon HP and stats. Players can also use [[Bag]] items at this screen to heal Pokémon. | Before a raid begins, a Raid Egg will spawn at the Gym with a one hour timer. Once the timer ends, the Egg will hatch into a Raid Boss, which will remain at the Gym for 45 minutes. During this time, the Gym defenders cannot be challenged or fed Berry treats. Players in range of the Gym can either spin the Photo Disc or use a Raid Pass to join a Raid Battle. | ||
