The news will be a welcome sign for all trainers who had pleaded with Niantic when it owned the game to increase the amount of remote raiding options and also stop having some features be local only.

Destructoid has reached out to thePokémon Goteam for further information about the changes and what went into changing the approach to local raids after all this time. We will update this article if we hear more information.
