Play with Friends Using Pokémon GO’s Party Play Feature

Everything’s more fun with friends, including adventures in Pokémon GO. If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to swagger over to a Pokémon GO Gym with your besties at your side, then Pokémon GO’s Party Play is the adventure you’ve been waiting for. Launching October 17, 2023, Party Play lets you form or join a party with up to three of your friends to take on challenges and raids as a group. While part of a party, Trainers can see their friends’ avatars on their in-game map. And when battling in a raid together, Trainers can use Party Power to double the damage of their Charged Attacks. Party Challenges offer the group the chance to take on tasks—which can be focused on activities such as spinning PokéStops, battling in raids, and catching Pokémon—to earn awesome rewards. And when the fun is over, the party will receive a personalized visual recap of their accomplishments to share with the world.
