GN Version 5.0

Pokémon GO is evolving with Trainer Battles, letting players go head-to-head with teams they've assembled. Check out some tips on which Pokémon should learn a new Charged Attack, which Pokémon to power up for Trainer Battles, and how to put together a winning team for matches against other players. You can battle against any Trainers who are nearby, or your Ultra and Best Friends anywhere, at any time. Get ready to prove you're the very best!

The spoils definitely make Trainer Battles worth trying, even if you're not that confident in your Pokémon team. You can get rewards from battling other Trainers three times each day and once daily from taking on an AI-controlled team leader. You'll get the same loot whether you win or lose, which can include rare items like a Sinnoh Stone, the item needed to evolve many Pokémon with Evolutions first discovered in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl. Battles aren't just a lot of fun—they're also great if you're looking to collect the most-powerful Pokémon and complete your Pokédex!
