How many times can you capture Infernape?
In this event, Infernape can only be captured once per save file. Even so, defeating the raids still grants rewards, so it may be worth participating even if you don’t need to capture it again.
Rewards and why it makes sense to repeat raids
Even though the capture limit is per save, the event isn’t only about getting the Pokémon. The news says that participants receive rewards for completing the raids, so having multiple chances to win can be helpful for making the most of the event before it ends.
Practical tips for taking on the battle
If you need guidance to complete the raid, the announcement mentions that a video-format guide is included in the original post. Also, a good approach for this kind of challenge is to prepare for long 7★ battles: coordinate your team well and play with clear objectives throughout the fight.
How to prepare before the event ends
Because the event window is short, make sure you organize ahead of time before March 26, 2026 at 6:59 p.m. (CDT).
Prioritize completing a capture if it’s your first time, and then decide whether repeating raids is worth it to take advantage of the rewards you get for defeating them.
