Ever wondered how to pick a team in Pokemon GO? Well, you’re in the right place to find out! Choosing a team is a big part of the game and adds to the fun.

So, how does someone choose a team in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into this exciting world and discover the answer together.

The Short and Sweet Answer

In Pokemon GO, you get to choose a team after you reach level 5. At this point, you’re invited to join one of three teams: Team Mystic (Blue), Team Valor (Red), or Team Instinct (Yellow). Your choice can influence your gameplay, as each team has its own philosophy and style.

Choosing a team becomes available after you visit a Gym for the first time. Professor Willow will introduce you to the leaders of each team, and you’ll pick your team based on their values or simply your favorite color! Remember, once you choose a team, you cannot change it, so pick wisely.

Why Choosing a Team Matters

Joining a team in Pokemon GO is not just about picking a color. Each team competes for control over Gyms, collaborates in Raid Battles, and can influence your experience with the game. Your team can also help foster a sense of community, as you’ll likely team up with fellow members for events and battles.

Though your choice of team does not affect the type or frequency of Pokemon you encounter, it can add to the camaraderie and competitive spirit of the game. Plus, battling at Gyms and participating in Raids with your team can earn you rewards, including the in-game currency, PokeCoins.
