The new social features—some of which are based in a separate Niantic app—have been tested over time and will be available in Pokémon GO sometime in the next few months. Our hope is that these features will make it easier for Trainers to communicate with each other, discover new communities, and enjoy local raid battles.

Niantic announced,
“At Niantic we’re building a real-world metaverse that brings people together to explore the world through AR. Today, we’re introducing an evolution to the social experience within our games. We’ve been testing several community features with a group of Ingress Agents over the last few months, and are excited to now launch our social app experience in closed beta to more of the Ingress community. The standalone app is designed to make it much easier to communicate with other Agents, discover Agent communities, and coordinate real-world Missions – all in one place.”
As of this month, Mega Energy and Rare Candy XL are available as rewards for completing local raid battles, making it easier to evolve and strengthen your Pokémon. Also, starting on May 23, the shop’s 1 PokéCoin Event Box will no longer include Remote Raid Passes and will instead feature a rotating array of items.
Trainers all over the world have helped Pokémon GO continue to thrive and grow over the past two years. Now, we’re excited to get back to playing together in person. To support players who have difficulty reaching Gyms, we will continue to work on solutions such as tools for community leaders to organize local events and faster approval for new Gyms. Devs look forward to adventuring together in person!
