What is a party in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO is now venturing itself into a new era of on-the-go Pokemon catching. Finally, we will get to join our friends in wonderful and fun adventures across our very world and streets. Party Play comes out today, and with it, new challenges that will require us to bring other Pokemon trainers with us. Here is what a party is in Pokemon GO.

What is a party in Pokémon GO

A party in Pokemon GO, just like its normal definition for gaming in general, is a group of people playing Pokemon GO together. Roll credits. Just kidding. Whether we caught the Pokemon GO fever during its early days or you are just creating your account, most of us have gone Pokemon hunting with friends. That made us a party, but there was no in-game mechanic that could link us all together to play. That all changes now with Party Play, which allows up to four Pokemon GO trainers to join an in-game party, complete Party Challenges, and even see your friends’ avatars on your map.

How to create and join a party in Pokémon GO

As with many other games, you will be able to both host and join a party. It is really easy in the case of Pokemon GO, so take notes:

• Access the new Party tab in your Trainer profile.

And that’s how Party Play works in Pokemon GO! While challenging raids with your friends, you will also receive the Party Power bonus. This will double the damage of your Charged Attacks and will charge every time you perform a Fast Attack. The more people you have in your party, the faster the Power bonus will charge. Go ahead and complete your Party Challenges and become the best Pokemon party ever!
