Elite Raid Battle

An **Elite Raid Battle** is a special Raid Battle, featuring a red Raid Egg that appears with a 24 hours hatch timer and 30 minutes raid time.

## Details

Elite Raid Eggs spawn and hatch at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time. Elite Raids feature rare Pokémon. Elite Raids cannot be entered with a Remote Raid Pass. These raid battles only occur at EX Raid Gyms.

There was formerly a special 15-minute bonus that was activated around the Gym that hosted the Elite Raid upon clearing a Elite Raid Battle. This bonus caused rare Pokémon to start spawning around the Gym such as Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Dragonite and Mienfoo. This bonus has been disabled since the first Regidrago Elite Raid Day.

An Elite Raid Timed Research was available during both Regidrago Elite Raid Days for Trainers who completed an Elite Raid Battle.

## Trivia

* Elite Raid Bosses have 20,000 HP, which is more than a standard Tier 5 Raid Boss.
* It is theorized that Elite Raid Bosses have an increased Attack and Defense multiplier, making them more challenging than standard Raid Bosses.
* The Elite Raid Timed Research was not distributed during Regieleki Elite Raid Day.
* On Regieleki Elite Raid Day, the Raid Eggs appeared on 6 p.m. the previous day instead of the normal 24 hours before the raid.
