What are Primal Raids in Pokémon Go?

Primal Pokémon are making their way into Pokémon Go. Players will learn new rules with their arrival. This means trying out Primal Raids, a raid for Primal Reversion.

You can catch Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre without these raids. But it will take longer. Primal Raids are a fast way to get Primal Energy.

Primal Energy is similar to Mega Energy. Players need it to make their Groudon or Kyogre revert back to their primal forms. Primal Raids tie into this process. If you’re unsure about them, here’s all you need to know.

Understanding Primal Raids in Pokémon Go

If you’re new to Mega Raids, Primal Raids work in a similar fashion. A Primal Raid is a unique Raid Battle. It happens during a set rotation. They look different in the game world. Only Primal Pokémon, such as Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, show up in these raids.

Exclusive Primal Raid Benefits

These raids are the only way to grab a Primal Groudon with Precipice Blade or a Primal Kyogre with Origin Pulse.

It can be tough to win these raids without help. You’ll need a strong team. But, it’s worth trying to beat these powerful Pokémon.

What Do You Get from Primal Raids?

The main prize from Primal Raids is Primal Energy. This energy is key to Primal Reversion.

After you win a Primal Raid, you get some Primal Energy. You’ll use this to activate Primal Reversion for Groudon or Kyogre. The first time needs a lot of energy. But each time after uses less energy once the cooldown is over.

Besides Primal Energy, you might catch a Groudon or Kyogre. They’ll have special moves only from Primal Raids. You also get normal raid prizes like Berries and Rare Candies.

Primal Raids add exciting challenges and rewards in Pokémon Go. Team up, brave these raids, and unleash the power of Primal Reversion.
