What is a scheduled mini-game?

A scheduled mini-game allows you to schedule a particular in-game activity to happen at a certain time at your location.  For Pokémon GO, this is a scheduled Raid Battle. During a Raid Battle, players work together to challenge a powerful Pokémon who has taken over the Gym. Watch a short video about Raid Battles here

When should I use one?

You should use this when you would like to drive more players to your location.  

 

If I have a premium location, will I be eligible for regular raids battles, as well as scheduled raids?

Don’t worry, you will still have regular Raid Battles at a Gym location. The Scheduled Raid Battle is in addition to regular raids that happen at a Gym location, unless they overlap.
