Have you ever wondered how to jump into battles in Pokemon GO? Well, you’re in the right place to find out! Battling is a crucial and exciting part of the game where you can test your Pokemon against others.

If you’re asking yourself how to start battling in Pokemon GO, keep reading. It’s easier than you might think, and super fun too!

Getting Started with Battles in Pokemon GO

To begin battling in Pokemon GO, you need to reach level 5. Once you’re there, you’ll choose a team: Team Instinct (Yellow), Team Mystic (Blue), or Team Valor (Red). Your team choice opens up gym battles and team raids for you.

In addition to gym battles, you can also engage in Trainer Battles with friends or nearby Pokemon GO players. And if that’s not enough, you can enter the Battle League, where you compete against trainers around the world to earn rewards.

Different Ways to Battle

In gym battles, you’ll fight to take control of gyms for your team. Just walk up to a gym in the real world, and if it’s controlled by an opposing team, you can battle the Pokemon there. Victory means you can place your Pokemon in the gym to defend it.

For Trainer Battles, scan a friend’s QR code or use a Battle Code to start. You can also battle against team leaders for practice. The GO Battle League, however, automatically matches you with opponents from around the globe.
