Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Sewaddle to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles. Sewaddle that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during October Community Day's three-hour event period."
