The goal of a Raid Battle is for players to collaboratively defeat the Raid Boss, a [[giant Pokémon]] with significantly inflated stats, within the time limit. Each Raid Boss is stationed at a particular Gym for a limited period of time, and players must use a [[Raid Pass]] to challenge it. As with other battles at Gyms, up to twenty trainers can join to fight the Raid Boss. After defeating the Raid Boss, players receive a variety of rewards and are given the opportunity to catch the Raid Boss. | The goal of a Raid Battle is for players to collaboratively defeat the Raid Boss, a [[giant Pokémon]] with significantly inflated stats, within the time limit.
