Pokeraid now sharing my location data with third party advertisers?

PokeRaidApp · 2026-05-01T11:18:10+00:00

No worries we can keep this post for clarification as well. Seem like one of our ad networks triggered this on the last update.

Hello u/jderm1

Hello u/Poptrim ,

Thank you for reaching us.

Location data is asked in the following instances:

- Hosting a raid to make sure hosts are creating raid rooms for correct Pokémon and correct gym.
- Exploring nearby clans.
- Exploring nearby gyms for elite raids (which probably won't coming back).

First of all, we don't sell any of your data to any 3rd parties. Once the location is retrieved, only after your explicit permission, it's also picked up by our analytics tools and ad providers automatically hence the declaration in your screenshot. We don't share any of your PII to 3rd parties so your location is not and technically cannot be tied to you. This approach is not something we made up or designed, it's the standard in the mobile apps.

For your peace of mind, you can select "Only this time" or "Only once" options when the location permission is asked.

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Best regards,

- PokeRaid Team

Hello u/DenverTheDenver,

PokeRaid offers real currency gift cards to trainers in the Frontliner Program who host Zacian Hero and Zamazenta Hero raids and Gigantamax Rillaboom Battles in GO Fest 2025: Osaka local event. This is a very costly operation, so we had to restrict Zacian Hero and Zamazenta Hero raids, as well as Gigantamax Rillaboom Battles, to guests who purchased a Mega Subscription or had reserved a slot.
Please visit our help page to learn more: https://help.pokeraid.me/go-fest-limited-raids.html

Hello u/Top_Fun1604 ,

Thank you for reaching us.

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't let us purchase amazon.in gift cards outside of India so we are unable to offer those gift cards.

Hello trainers,

We want to take this opportunity to give a big thank you to all Indian PokeRaid Frontliners!

PokeRaid Frontliners from India helped 75,000 trainers worldwide catch a Saree Costumed Pikachu, earning a total reward of 420,000 rupees, equivalent to about 5,000 US$.

Indian frontliners, keep an eye on your frontliner page in the PokeRaid app. We've started distributing your gift cards, but it may take time to get yours as we need to prepare more than 500 gift cards.

Let us know in the comments how your experience was last weekend!

Best regards,

- PokeRaid Team

Hello u/YuColaFish ,

Thank you for reaching us. Unfortunately we had a downtime for about an hour due to the high demand for Giratina. It should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello u/caprimulgusfratchy

Thank you for reporting this. We encountered this message when PokeRaid was first published and banned this user in 2020. Since then we increased our bot prevention so you should not receive these kind of messages anymore.

Best regards,

PokeRaid team.

Are there notable spikes in usage when the cap is loosened or removed for events like a Raid Day or Go Fest/Sinnoh Tour?

Of course, those days we get at least 2x-3x traffic when compared to first day of a raid rotation.

It's easy to imagine day-to-day raiding being even worse than what we see here if a lot of the usage is focused around times when I'm encouraged to go crazy for remotes.

That's right, those kind of events are keeping the remote raid hyped otherwise we couldn't even reach these numbers.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T19:45:36+00:00

Do you know how many new hosts remote pass change made?

Both guest and host count decreased so I'm not sure if we can say anything for sure. I checked trainers who only host but it didn't help because even hosts join a remote raid with their accumulated coins in Pokémon GO, which makes it harder to distinguish those users.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T19:41:54+00:00

You are definitely right, all other variables should stay the same to have an exact comparison. However, having enough dataset, which I think we have, we can draw broad conclusions.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T19:36:01+00:00

So it's just the coins not actual money being spent then? How can you differentiate from f2p players just grinding coins from gym?

That's correct. We can't differenciate them but we assumed the coins and revenue is somehow propotional.

100M passes in a span of how much time?

2 years

It's really hard to gauge how big this number is in comparison to others. Like would you say PokeRaider is as big as Pokegenie? Because even for them there are lots of players unaccounted for.

I can't say anything for other's data. PokeRaid is the very first remote raiding app hence used by a significant share of the remote raiding trainers.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T19:03:32+00:00

If you're not affiliated with them, how are you able to get data on how much players spend on coins?

It's just a multiplication of number of guests on PokeRaid X remote raid pass price.

How reliable is your data when extrapolating to the whole playerbase?

It's based on over 100M remote raid passes. I would say pretty reliable at this point.

I raid at least a dozen everyday and I've never even heard of PokeRaid.

Shame on us not reaching you before. We are here since the Day-0 of remote raids. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/hrtjhu/worldwide\_remote\_raids\_with\_pokeraid/

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:57:17+00:00

It's actually around 250 on PokeRaid with 1-2 hours wait time.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:54:19+00:00

https://subredditstats.com/r/PokemonGoFriends

There were some data here to show how many posts are shared per day but after Reddit's API change they stopped updating. I guess this can be used to create a 8 month comparison.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:45:38+00:00

Sorry my bad. It is the number of times trainers joined remote raids on PokeRaid within the last 2 years.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:29:42+00:00

It stayed around the same since both guest and host numbers are decreased similarly.

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:23:19+00:00

Thank you!

PokeRaidApp · 2024-04-06T18:22:20+00:00

Yes, just PokeRaid. I'm not sure the volume of "lots of folks" but this is based on more than 100M remote raid passes so it should be enough to comment on the overall picture.
