‘Pokémon Go’ attack welcomes will let companions join your fight remotely

Pokémon Go makers as of late reported that two of the game’s many arranged updates will be accessible this mid-year: the ability to welcome companions to raid fights and stickers include for gifts. The raid fights feature is set to be released at some point this month, as indicated by an announcement on the Pokémon Go website. Niantic gave a less explicit period for the stickers, essentially saying players can expect it “soon.”

Pokémon Go has traditionally expected players to venture outside and investigate their communities to play the game. Lately, developer Niantic has instituted a few changes to make the game more playable in the age of COVID-19-spurred lockdowns. The new fight attacks feature is by all accounts a continuation of those changes. Beforehand, you could go into a fight strike on the off chance that you were physically close by. The new change permits you to remotely welcome companions into a strike you’ve entered previously, physical proximity not required.

At the point when this feature goes live, a “+” button will show up in private strike lobbies that you’ve participated face to face. You can tap the + button to welcome up to five companions to go along with you. Your companions will be informed of attack invitations on their Nearby screen or in message pop-ups. These invitations will permit your companions to enter the raid lobby, and they will have the option to use a pass just when the fight begins.

Next, Pokémon Go will permit you to personalize in-game gifts you send to companions with stickers. At the point when the feature is first presented players will get a move of stickers for free and will have the option of adding a sticker to a gift before sending it to a companion. The website notes, “You can use a sticker only once, so be sure to stock up on more by opening Gifts.” Eventually, the stickers will be accessible to purchase, as you’d anticipate from a free-to-play game.
