Ever wondered if you can switch sides in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into whether you can change your team allegiance and how to do it.

Many trainers ask, “How can you switch teams in Pokemon GO?” Today, we’re here to give you the scoop on changing teams.

Yes, You Can Change Teams!

Good news, trainers! You can switch teams in Pokemon GO. But, there’s a catch. You need a special item called the “Team Medallion.”

The Team Medallion is a one-time use item that allows you to change your team. It’s available in the in-game shop. However, you can only purchase and use the Team Medallion once every 365 days. So, choose wisely because you’ll be with your new team for a whole year!

How to Make the Switch

To switch teams, first, you need to buy the Team Medallion from the shop. It costs 1,000 PokeCoins. Once you have the medallion, go to your inventory, tap on it, and select the team you want to join: Team Mystic, Team Valor, or Team Instinct.

Remember, switching teams doesn’t affect your game progress. You’ll keep all your Pokemons, items, and achievements. But, your previous team’s Gyms will now see you as an opponent. So, it’s an exciting new beginning!
