Pokémon GO has changed the prices of remote raid passes, causing trouble for many players. We wanted to know: are you still buying some now? Here is the result.

What poll was that? On April 6th, 2023, Pokémon GO officially brought the much-discussed changes to long-distance raids. Among other things, the prices of the necessary passes have been increased:

  • Three Remote Raid Passes now cost 525 PokéCoins instead of 300 PokéCoins
  • The single Remote Raid Pass has had its price increased from 100 PokéCoins to 195 PokéCoins

    • A new Premium Battle Pass Bundle for on-site raids has also been introduced. This costs 250 coins for 3 on-site passes, a single one costs 100.

    In addition, the use of long-distance raid passes has been limited to 5 per day. At the same time, there is now also the chance of long-distance raid passes in the rewards from research breakthroughs.

    Given these changes, we wanted to know from you: are you still buying remote raid passes? Here you can see the result of the vote.

    Clear opinion on the new remote raid pass prices in Pokémon GO

    This is the result: At the time of analysis on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, a total of 3,469 trainers took part in our survey. A clear picture has already emerged there of how they intend to deal with the passports in the future.

  • A full 70% voted “No, I won’t buy any more”. This result corresponds to 2,428 votes.
  • “Yes, but less than before” came in at 20%, with 680 votes cast
  • “I’m undecided” voted 9% and thus 310 coaches
  • “Yes, just as often as before” only 1%, i.e. 51 of the participating trainers, will buy long-distance raid passes in the shop.

    • The result fits with the mood that has prevailed so far towards the long-distance raid pass changes.

    How have the changes been received so far? Many critical voices have been raised in the Pokémon GO community since the changes were announced. Both the limit to 5 long-distance raids per day and the price increase led to various actions by some players.

    Some players and creators wrote an open letter to developer Niantic, expressing a lack of understanding of the changes. The changes are not only uncomfortable, but also hit some trainer groups, such as rural players without a local community, particularly hard.

    Among other things, it refers to the argument that bonuses for playing locally should be introduced instead of weakening the remote features if players are to be motivated to participate more in local raids again.

    A petition addressed to developer Niantic that the changes should be withdrawn went in a similar direction.
