Elite Raids will have you and other Trainers battling an extremely powerful Raid Pokemon, surpassing the difficulty of all other Raid levels in the game.

Furthermore, these Raids differ from other Raids due to the need for in-person presence, limit the use of remote raid passes when you take part in this new PvE feature.

This means that you will have to team up with other Trainers locally to successfully eliminate Pokemon in elite raids, as it will be impossible to complete them alone.

For November 2024, no elite raid days have been announced yet. That said, there's always an Elite Raid Day you can add to your calendar, so be sure to keep an eye out for Pokemon Go news and announcements throughout the month.

If there is an Elite Raid Day announced for November, you can expect to find featured Pokemon in Elite Raids throughout the day, appearing at specific times on the day of the event.
