How to get it
- Spin a Gym Photo Disc when eligible and when you are not already holding a free Raid Pass.
- Check the active season or event for any extra daily allocation.
How to use it
- Visit a Gym raid in person. The free pass is used before a Premium Battle Pass when you have one.
- A pass is committed when the battle starts; leaving the lobby before that point preserves it.
Worth knowing
You can carry an unused free pass into a later day, use it, and then collect that day’s allocation. This does not let you stockpile multiple free passes.
It cannot replace a Remote Raid Pass.
