In a find related to Pokémon GO, there are hints of a significant improvement in team play. We will explain what this improvement is.
What is team play? Team play is a feature in Pokémon GO that allows you to go on adventures together with your friends. This feature provides you with benefits, such as stronger charge attacks in raids and shared challenges that you can tackle together.
The benefits of team play definitely have their justification, so you should use team play more often if you have the opportunity. A find related to Pokémon GO now suggests that there could be another improvement to this feature. And it’s a significant one.
Entire group benefits from items
What is the find about? The find, discovered by the PokéMiners and shared on Reddit, is about the sharing of items in the team play feature. The PokéMiners are a group that regularly searches the code of Pokémon GO for new content.
The find is not about sending and trading items, but about benefiting from items that have been activated by one trainer in the group. For example, if one trainer activates a Star Piece, the rest of the team play group could also benefit and receive part of the effect.
As stated in a text discovered in the find: Share items with your group. Each group member receives a part of the item’s effects
.
When does this improvement start? Since this is merely a find in the data of Pokémon GO and not an official statement from Niantic, one cannot say for certain when this feature will make its way into the game, or whether it will at all.
In the past, finds from the PokéMiners have often resulted in updates that eventually made their way into the game. For instance, they reported on the Master Ball, which they found in the code early last year.
What does the community say about it? Various comments can be found on Reddit regarding the find. While some are excited about it, there are also critical voices.
Holy smokes! Sharing premium items
, writes one trainer on RedditThis mainly benefits cheaters with multiple accounts
, says another trainer on RedditThe likelihood of being allowed to share premium items is 0%. That would cost Niantic a fortune and multi-accounts would soar

It remains to be seen whether and in what form this feature will be implemented in Pokémon GO. If there is official information about this, we will report it to you.
