In Pokémon GO there are many trainers who hardly use the team play feature. However, there are good reasons to do so.
What is Team Play? With the Team Play feature, you can explore the world in Pokémon GO together with your friends. Although this feature has been available in Pokémon GO for several months, there are still trainers who do not take advantage of it.
If you are one of them, we have some reasons for you here why you should do it. Because it can really pay off.
1. Stronger Charge Attacks in Raids
Do you often go on raids with your friends? Then you should definitely join a Team Play group for this purpose. When you challenge a raid boss together with your friends in Team Play, you receive what’s called Party Power
.
This is a bar that you fill by attacking the raid boss. Once the Party Power is charged, you can activate it and deal double damage with your next charge attack.
So with Party Power
, you can get a huge damage bonus. This means you can not only defeat raid bosses faster but even complete a raid with fewer members than you would need without the feature.
2. Obtaining Pokémon and Mega Energy
When you are out in Team Play with your group, you can also complete challenges together. These challenges may involve catching a certain number of Pokémon or walking a specific distance.
Recently, new rewards from Team Play challenges have been introduced, some of which are pretty good.
If you walk 2 km in Team Play, you can look forward to an encounter with Eevee or even Drifloon. The Pokémon can also appear as Shinies. For the challenges Catch 25 Pokémon with Ultra Balls
and Defeat 4 Team GO Rocket Grunts
you can even earn 10 Mega Energy for Gengar or Gyarados.
So it can definitely be worth completing the challenges together and collecting some good Pokémon and Mega Energy.
3. Competition and Fun
Within Team Play, you can use the team tab to see who among you has caught the most Pokémon or covered the most kilometers. You can directly see who the better Pokémon trainer in your team is.
The competition among friends can be quite motivating and above all, fun. And just that last point should never be overlooked. After all, the main reason for playing a game should be to have fun!
What about you? Do you regularly use the Team Play feature or do you plan to try it out? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Recently, the maximum duration of the Team Play feature was increased.
