• Pokémon Go: how to access the Go Battle League?

At the end of 2019, Niantic announced a long-awaited novelty for Pokémon Go. The new PvP mode ”Go Battle League“ will finally allow players around the world to engage in Pokémon battles via the internet. Until now, players had to meet in the real world to compete against each other.

The deployment of this new functionality has finally started. A first “pre-season” will allow trainers to compete through three leagues: Super, Ultra and Master each offering different rules and constraints.

This preseason will allow Niantic to observe the way players behave in this new mode and make adjustments for the upcoming first season. In particular, the firm wishes to determine the ideal duration for a season and the best thresholds for the ranks.
