Pokemon Go developer Niantic has revealed changes toMega Lucario Raid Dayafter a previous announcement for the event confused some fans.
Whenrevealing the event, which sees the debut of Lucario’s powerful Mega Evolved form, Niantic originally announced that anyone who buys theMega Lucario Raid Day ticketwill be able to earn “13 additionalRaid Passesfrom spinning Photo Discs at Gyms.”
However, there was some uncertainty over this, as it was originally intended that the ticket would reward eight additional Raid Passes, with the remaining five being free to everyone who took part in the event.
But, upon seeing that fans were now expecting 13 Raid Passes if they bought the ticket, Niantic made changes.

This means, alongside the 5 Raid Passes available to all players, ticket holders will now in fact be able to earn up to 18 Raid Passes by spinning Photo Disc Gyms – which is a hefty amount and certain to help anyone on the hunt for a Shiny Lucario.
Players were widely positive in the comments, praising Niantic for both the clarity of information and the update to reflect their previous ambiguity. One comment from content creatorPoke Daxisaid, “Thank you!! Hope we see this in the future more instead of just taking stuff away based on your mistakes.”
Another positive comment added, “It’s little things like this that we appreciate. Thank you” before another said, “Thanks for acknowledging you made an error and correcting in a way that we benefit! Continue this way looking forward please!”
