After much teasing, the trainer battles are officially at work for the “Pokemon Go” game. To mark the new addition to the game, details, and images have been released.
In the new feature, there will be Pokémon Go Trainer Battle Leagues known as Great, Ultra, and Master. For each league, there will be different maximum Pokémon CP limits and because of this, strategic planning will be needed rather than reliance on Pokemon with high CP. While preparations are on the go, Community Day is running and players will have a chance at bonuses like double Catch XP, double Catch Stardust, and double Incubator speed for three hours today.
Prior to the announcement of the trainer battles, there was an announcement of a legendary Pokemon appearance for the Raid battles. This Pokemon was Psychic-type Legendary Cresselia and their event began on November 20.
“Pokemon Go” was first released in July 2016 and is known as an augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. The game is a collaboration between Niantic and Nintendo by way of The Pokémon Company and uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player’s real-world location.
