Trainer Battles Arrive in Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go players have been catching and training Pokémon to take control of Gyms and challenge powerful Raid Bosses, but now they can put their skills to the ultimate test with Pokémon Go Trainer Battles. Now, players can face off against other Trainers in head-to-head matches using teams of three Pokémon. When the match is over, both participants will receive great rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items like the Sinnoh Stone!

Trainer Battles have been designed to emphasize strategy, and their rapid pace allows Trainers to squeeze in more battles in a limited time. This will come in especially handy during Pokémon Go‘s Community Days, when you’re bound to meet the gaze of multiple potential rivals with whom you’ll feel compelled to battle. Although you’ll normally take on opponents that are nearby, you can also initiate Trainer Battles with Trainers who you’re Ultra Friends or Best Friends with from any distance.
