Features[]

Capturing Gyms[]

Teams can battle rival team's Pokémon in Gyms. When all rival Pokémon are defeated, players can place their own Pokémon to defend the gym.

Pokemon Appraisal[]

When a player joins a team, that team's leader will also provide a Pokémon Appraisal system. The information is the same between all three teams, but each team leader has different ways of communicating when appraising a Pokémon.

Changing Teams[]

Once every 365 days, a player is able to change their current team with the use of a Team Medallion. This item can be purchased through the Shop for 1,000 Pokécoins.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to version 0.135.0, Trainers were unable to change their team after choosing one.
  • Players can continue to play without selecting a team but will not be able to take part in gym battles.
