Beginning this month, Trainer Battles will allow you to challenge a friend or another Trainer at any time using a Battle Code. You can use a team of 3 Pokémon and both participants will receivesome rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items.

Trainers must compete in the same Trainer Battle League which determines the CP limit for the participating Pokémon. There are 3 Leagues:
  • Great League: Max CP per Pokémon: 1500
  • Ultra League: Max CP per Pokémon: 2500
  • Master League: No Limit

As with other battles in the game, this is a tap focused battle. Your selected team of Pokémon will be able to execute both their Fast Attack, Charged Attack moves, a bonus Charged Attack (using Stardust and Candy to unlock this second Charged Attack) and a Protect Shield to save your Pokémon from critical damage (they are limited).

While Trainers will usually have to be nearby in order to initiate a Trainer Battle, Ultra Friends and Best Friends can challenge each other from any distance.

Once a day you will be able to battle the Team leaders Spark, Candela and Blanche.
You can earn rewards once per day when training with a team leader, including Stardust to help power up your Pokémon.

Trainers,
From encountering and catching your first Pokémon to assembling a powerful team to take on a Legendary Pokémon in Raid Battles, you have certainly built incredible skills as a Trainer over the last two years. Are you ready for the next big challenge? Show off your skills against others with Trainer Battles, coming soon to Pokémon GO!
Beginning this month, Trainer Battles will allow you to challenge a friend or another Trainer at any time! Challenge another Trainer using a Battle Code, assemble a team of three Pokémon, and see who comes out on top! When Trainer Battles are completed, both participants will receive great rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items.
In order to ensure an even playing field, Trainers must compete in the same Trainer Battle League, which determines the CP limit for the participating Pokémon. Strength alone will not ensure victory! Whether you’re battling with a Caterpie or a Mewtwo, the cleverer and more strategic Trainer will have an advantage.
Battles are fast-paced and real-time, so don’t expect to wait your turn! Your selected team of Pokémon will be able to execute both their Fast Attack and Charged Attack moves. In preparation for battle, you’ll even be able to use Stardust and Candy to unlock a bonus Charged Attack for your Pokémon. Timing is important! If you use your head and keep an eye on your opponent’s moves, you may be able to deploy a Protect Shield to save your Pokémon from critical damage. But you only have a limited number of these shields before your Pokémon will be left defenseless.
While Trainers will usually have to be nearby in order to initiate a Trainer Battle, Ultra Friends and Best Friends can challenge each other from any distance. So, near or far, you can battle with your closest friends!
Looking to learn the ropes or sharpen your budding battle skills? Team leaders Spark, Candela, and Blanche are eager to test your bravery! You can earn rewards once per day when training with a team leader, including Stardust to help power up your Pokémon. Work toward earning an Ace Trainer medal!

It’s up to you to get your Pokémon into shape! The only way you’ll become a Trainer Battle master is to get out there and GO!

Sounds fun! They finally put in the PVP battles haha
It would have been much better if they were there from the start, like a lot of other features in Pokemon GO that came in late.
Do you think that would have made more people play longer?

I was never a fan of the tap based battles but I love that PVP is here now.

I agree! It would have been great if this feature were there from the start (or 1-2 months after the release)

Well... that depend on the player :yesyes: I stopped playing for a while because I was a little tired (and didn't have balls to catch Pokémon)
But for sure if I was Niantic I'll do the same... release something little by little so people will always have to do (well... smarthphone games are like that... they continue to do small updates so people will always have something to do)
