Quick Guide to Battling Friends
To start a battle with a friend in Pokemon GO, you both need to reach Trainer Level 10 first. Once you’re there, open the Friends tab, select the friend you want to battle, and tap the ‘Battle’ button. You can also scan your friend’s Battle QR Code if you’re hanging out in person!
Choose the league for your battle – Great, Ultra, or Master League – based on the maximum CP of Pokemon allowed. Then, select your team of three Pokemon. After both trainers are ready, the battle begins! Use your Pokemon’s Fast and Charged Attacks to win. Remember, you can also use Protect Shields to defend against Charged Attacks twice per battle.
