[[File:GO Raid Pass.png|thumb|150px|A free Raid Pass in {{g|GO}}]]
A '''Raid Pass''' (Japanese: '''レイドパス''' ''Raid Pass'') is an item in {{g|GO}} that is required to join a {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}. Once a {{player}} uses a Raid Pass, they will join a lobby with all of the other raid participants. Raid Passes cannot be refunded even if the player decides to quit before or during a raid. Using a single Raid Pass, a player may attempt a raid as many times as they like until they win the raid or the raid expires. 

There are four types of Raid Passes: free Raid Passes, Premium Battle Passes, Remote Raid Passes, and EX Raid Passes. 
* Regular (or free) Raid Passes can be used to join a Raid Battle if the player is within range of the Gym. A player can only hold one free Raid Pass at a time. If a player has both a free Raid Pass and a Premium Battle Pass, the game will prioritize using the free Raid Pass first.
* Premium Battle Passes (formerly Premium Raid Passes) can be used to join a Raid Battle if the player is within range of the Gym or to participate in the premium reward track in [[GO Battle League]]. 
* Remote Raid Passes can be used to join a Raid Battle at a Gym outside the player's range, but can still be seen from the Nearby screen or if the player's Pokémon is defending the Gym. These were introduced as a means for players to continue participating in raids amidst the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. A maximum of 10 players using Remote Raid Passes may join a Raid Battle. Players may only acquire more Remote Raid passes if they have less than three on hand.
** Eventually, at a time to be determined, the limit for Remote Raid Pass users will be reduced to 5 per raid, and Remote Raid Pass users will deal reduced damage.
* EX Raid Passes can only be used to join EX Raids, which have a set time and location in advance. They cannot be used for any other raids and disappear from the player's Bag if it expires.

==Acquisition==
A free Raid Pass may be obtained only once a day by spinning the Photo Disc of a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} if there is not one in their [[Bag]]. If the player already has a free Raid Pass from a previous day, they must use it first before obtaining another one.

Premium Raid Passes are awarded for completing certain [[Special Research]] tasks. They can also be purchased at the [[PokéCoin|Shop]] for {{PCoin}}100 each or by purchasing certain boxes that contain them.

Initially, Remote Raid Passes could be purchased at the Shop for {{PCoin}}100 each or {{PCoin}}250 for a bundle of three. Starting April 27, 2020, players also had an option for a one-time purchase of a box containing three Remote Raid Passes for {{PCoin}}1. Weekly boxes that cost {{PCoin}}1 that contained Remote Raid Passes used to be available when first introduced.

However, on May 19, 2022, in a controversial move, Niantic announced that these weekly boxes would no longer contain Remote Raid Passes and contain other items<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/changes-updates-in-person-raid-bonuses-remote-raid-passes?hl=en New social features, as well as updates for in-person raids]</ref>; these weekly boxes would eventually disappear without any announcement. On the same day, the bundle of three was raised from {{PCoin}}250 to {{PCoin}}300, which was not announced by Niantic, and effectively made the cost of the bundle of three the same as buying one at a time.

On March 30, 2023, in another controversial move, Niantic has announced that the prices of Remote Raid Passes will be increased ''again'': single Remote Raid Passes will have its price increased to from {{PCoin}}100 to {{PCoin}}195, while the bundle of three passes will increase from {{PCoin}}300 to {{PCoin}}525. In addition, there will be a limit of 5 remote raids per day, although it could temporarily increase with events. These changes are planned to go into effect on April 6, 2023.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/remote-raid-passes-update-2023/ Updates to Pokémon GO’s Remote Raids]</ref> This price increase makes these passes approximately twice as expensive as they were originally, generating significant backlash.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/126xlkf/remote_raid_update_discussion_and_feedback_post/ Remote Raid Update Discussion and Feedback Post]</ref>

EX Raid Passes are distributed on a semi-random basis to players who have recently completed a Raid at the same Gym the EX Raid is to take place. Each EX Raid Pass allows a player to invite one [[Friends (GO)|Ultra Friend]] to participate, but may not send another even if the invitation is declined.
