Limited Raids on Local GO Tour 2025 in New Taipei City and Los Angeles
What are limited raids?
Limited raids are hard-to-find raids since they spawn only in small parts of the world. On GO Tour 2025 local event, Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom raids are only available in New Taipei City and Los Angeles, which makes it very hard to find trainers to host those raids.
This leads to a serious problem: A very few hosts lead to many sad guests who want to attend those raids but won't have a chance.
Why are GO Tour 2025 New Taipei City and Los Angeles local raids limited availability in PokeRaid?
There are 2 reasons why these raids are limited:
1. There are very few hosts that host local raids
Most trainers in New Taipei City and Los Angeles do not have the motivation to host those raids in PokeRaid because they don't need remote trainers to beat the raid boss.
2. Primary Reason: PokeRaid pays trainers with real currency to host those raids in PokeRaid
PokeRaid started a new revenue-share model, Frontliner, where we offer Amazon, Play Store, and App Store gift cards for hosting high-demand raids. At local GO Tour 2025 New Taipei City and Los Angeles, we announced that trainers who host Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom raids would get these rewards. However, it is a very costly operation, so we had to restrict those raids to the guests who purchased a Mega Subscription or reserve a slot.

On 2023 local GO Fest, the average Auto Join wait time was around 1 day whereas it was 30 minutes at local GO Fest 2024 with the help of Frontliners and this restriction.
