# Preparation Phase

### Preparation <a href="#preparation" id="preparation"></a>

Before joining a raid, you must ensure you come prepared because no healing machines are nearby. Additionally, if you have a rank that gives you access to /pokeheal, this command will be disabled.

You should bring as many potions, elixirs, and revives as possible, or else you might fail the raid.
