Pokemon Go has discounted Remote Raid passes for the first time since the price increase in April 2023 with the introduction of the Remote Raid box, which includes three Premium Raid passes, three Remote Raid passes, and one Poffin for 650 coins. This brings the price of Remote Raid passes down from 195 coins to just 100.
