Niantic makes a surprising change to Pokémon Go’s Remote Raids—but players aren’t happy

Slated to begin on June 1, Pokémon Go’s Season of Hidden Gems is set to bring a positive update to Remote Raid Pass—a move that many players didn’t expect from Niantic’s side anytime soon. Unfortunately for the developer, many players have classed it as an insignificant change, considering how ruthless April’s Remote Raid nerf was. 

Starting with the Season of Hidden Gems, Pokémon participating in raids remotely will deal the same amount of damage as Pokémon in in-person raids. Previously, Pokémon in remote raids could enjoy this damage buff only when a Seasonal Bonus was active. Now, remote raiders can enjoy the same damage potential as their outdoorsy peers.
