One of the many things that makes Pok\u00e9mon Go a treat to play is that it has both PvP action and PvE fun. However, there\u2019s been continual complaints by Pok\u00e9mon Go players that it\u2019s too difficult to assemble large groups of people together to fight during Max Battle Days – understandable, given that we Pok\u00e9mon fans are not always the most extraverted bunch.<\/p>\n
To help combat this, on October 12, Pok\u00e9mon Go is unveiling a new feature that aims to please the introverted masses: weekly challenges that can be completed in groups of any four trainers, no matter where they are in the world. Finally, you can game with your Discord homies.<\/p>\n
Under the new \u2018social\u2019 tab in the trainer profile page, you can easily manage your weekly party, plus add party members as friends if you don\u2019t already know them. Challenges will refresh on Sundays at 5pm PT, or 12am UTC, and consist of tasks relating to group progress on the usual Pok\u00e9mon Go activities – spinning Pok\u00e9stops, battling in gyms, hatching eggs, and more. The rewards that they\u2019ll provide include 20k experience and 6k stardust per week, as well as progress towards friendship levels. Pick wisely who you want to level up your friendship with, though, as you can only be part of one team a week.<\/p>\n
