Niantic announces the launch of a new feature in Pokémon GO. The Pokémon GO League meets coaches from all over the world in three leagues.
Pokémon GO was launched in summer 2016 and was a huge success. The mark of 500 million downloads was exceeded in just two months. Growth has slowed since then, but success continues. Niantic's title exceeded a billion downloads last summer . It must be said that despite the development of Harry Potter: Wizards Unity, which started in June 2019, the studio has spared no effort to retain players and attract new ones by regularly expanding the content of its flagship title. And it still does so today by announcing the arrival of the Combat League GO on the official Pokémon GO blog .

An international competition
Already announced and partially presented, the Combat League GO is a new competition that should enable coaches from all over the world to compete in three leagues per season with a classification by key and of course more or less awards: Star Dust, Super Candy, CT, meeting certain Pokémon ... The leagues are connected one after the other, starting with the Super League. Follow the Hyper League, then the Master League.
At the moment everyone will be spread over two weeks, but Niantic states that it wants to do a pre-season to adjust the parameters of the Combat League GO and in particular the length of the seasons. They could therefore be reduced in the course of the expansion, and possible changes are also mentioned for the classification system. It is now based on 10 lines, where line 1 is the lowest and therefore line 10 is the highest line. Note that the highest rank achieved is maintained for the duration of the season.
5 km on foot for 5 fights
A note on completing the modalities participating in the Combat League GO is deserved, as it will be necessary to run 5 km before a fight can be started. Four other players will be unlocked over the same distance to fight a total of five fights on five kilometers of markets, a maximum of three times a day. However, Niantic points out that it is possible to save the walk against PokéPièces with a feature called "Fight now" for most in a hurry - or lazy.
Another novelty: The Premium Raid Passes become Premium Combat Passes and provide access to a "Premium Circuit" of the Combat League GO.
The pre-season has already started!
If tempted by this new feature from Pokémon GO , you should know that it is rolling out gradually this week and that the pre-season started on January 28th with the Super League and the appearance of a Pikachu wrestler as a bonus. The move to the Hyper League is scheduled for February 10th. This is followed by the Master League on February 24th and then the return of the Super League on March 9th. The first five games are free.
