Pokemon Go news: This new update will get fans ready for the toughest Raids
POKEMON GO news this week has revealed a new update that fans will want to use before tackling the game’s toughest Raids.
A new Pokemon Go update could help Trainers build up their supplies
So far, we know that Pokemon Go has five tier-levels for Raids, each one harder than the last.
While tier 1 will see you take on the likes of Magikarp, tier 4 is another matter.
Tyranitar is one of the big bosses available so far in Pokemon Go, with a CP in the 34k range making him a challenge for even the best Trainers.
And while some can take him on pretty well, others may need more time.
At any time during a big boss battle, you can flee to heal your Pokemon using Potions or Revives and then rejoin the battle.
And a new Pokemon Go update may have revealed a great new way to build up your supplies before the toughest Raid.
Following a new combination discovered by Trainers, it’s been revealed that up to 28 items can be earned from a single Gym visit.
One player has found that by having a Gold badge, control of the Gym and their 7-day streak active, they were able to get a big haul.
Reddit user reneritchie explains: “Got the gold badge in the last couple of days (there was no notification so I'm not sure when exactly), but either way, it was in time for my 7-day streak today, and it's a gym I'm on, so team control bonus folded in as well.”
This visit added these items to the Trainer’s Pokemon Go stash:
- 1x Sun Stone
- 2 x Ultra Ball
- 1x Great Ball
- 3x Potion
- 1x Great Potion
- 13x Poké Ball
- 2x Razz Berry
- 2x Pinap Berry
- 1x Revive
- 2x Nanab Berry

While it was still mostly Pokeballs, the added berries and revives will always come in handy when looking for a challenge.
Other players have confirmed that they have had similar success involving Gym spins, although details are still not completely known.
“My home gym badge is now gold and sometimes I get 3 white background items (more often 2) then 3 gold background items for the badge rank, then 2 red valor background items for having a defender in the gym and obviously team control,” One trainer commented.
“Not sure if you only get 1 team colored item if your team is holding with the player that spins not having a defender in at the time of spin.”
Pokemon Go fans are also hoping that tier 5 of the new Raids system will include Legendary Pocket Monsters.
It's still not known how this will work, although it seems likely that a global event will be used to launch the best Pokemon in the game.
