Challenge another Trainer using a Battle Code, assemble a team of three Pok\u00e9mon, and see who comes out on top. When Trainer Battles are completed, both participants will receive rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items.<\/p>\n<p>In order to ensure an even playing field, Trainers must compete in the same Trainer Battle League, which determines the CP limit for the participating Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<p>Battles are said to be fast-paced and in real-time instead of turn-based! Your selected team of Pok\u00e9mon will be able to execute both their Fast Attack and Charged Attack moves. In preparation for battle, you\u2019ll even be able to use Stardust and Candy to unlock a bonus Charged Attack for your Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<p>Timing will be important. If you use your head and keep an eye on your opponent\u2019s moves, you may be able to deploy a Protect Shield to save your Pok\u00e9mon from critical damage. But you only have a limited number of these shields before your Pok\u00e9mon will be left defenseless.<\/p>\n<p>While Trainers will usually have to be nearby in order to initiate a Trainer Battle, Ultra Friends and Best Friends can challenge each other from any distance.<\/p>\n<p>Team leaders Spark, Candela, and Blanche are available to test your skills and train you too. You can earn rewards once per day when training with a team leader, including Stardust to help power up your Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/t:pvFO1R7NnMrn5OODJjJYjQ\/180796321805\/v2\" data-did=\"a46232de807337165dd1c18116d36dba84845bf2\"  ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/darkainartsgamers\/180796321805\">https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/darkainartsgamers\/180796321805<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js?_v=38df9a6ca7436e6ca1b851b0543b9f51\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Niantic today lifted the veil on upcoming trainer battles in Pok\u00e9mon GO.
