Niantic has announced that they are doing temporary changes to Pokémon GO as people around the world won't be traveling as much due to the COVID-19 virus spreading around the world. Below are a list of changes that will be in effect for the next 30 days. These changes may continue beyond the 30 days, depending on global circumstances.


Trainers, for the next 30 days, we will be making the following changes for GO Battle League and Trainer Battles with friends:

• We are removing the walking requirement in GO Battle League to unlock sets. If you're currently in the middle of walking to earn a set, it will take effect from your next set.
• For Trainer Battles with friends, we've lowered the requirement so you can send challenge invites to Trainers who are your Good Friends.
