Last updated
Wondering how to engage in battles in Pokemon GO? You’re in the right spot! This quick guide will teach you the basics of battling in this augmented reality (AR) game that has taken the world by storm.
Battling in Pokemon GO isn’t just fun; it’s a core part of the game. Let’s dive into how you can start battling and becoming a Pokemon Master!
Jumping into Battle: What You Need to Know
To battle in Pokemon GO, you first need to reach Level 5. This unlocks the ability to join one of three teams: Team Mystic, Team Valor, or Team Instinct. Once you’re part of a team, you can battle at Gyms, participate in Raids, and even face off against other players in Trainer Battles.
Gym Battles require you to visit a local Gym (marked on your map) and challenge the Pokemon there. Raids involve battling powerful Boss Pokemon at a Gym with other players. Trainer Battles let you fight against friends or other trainers remotely or in-person.
Battling 101: How to Pokemon GO Battle
To start a battle in Pokemon GO, simply tap on the Gym or Trainer you want to battle against. For Gym and Raid Battles, you’ll battle using a team of six of your Pokemon. You can attack by tapping on the screen and use special attacks once your meter is full. Dodging enemy attacks is also key!
In Trainer Battles, you’ll choose three Pokemon. Like Gym Battles, you attack by tapping and unleash special attacks with charged energy. Winning battles earns you rewards, including in-game items and bragging rights!
