Pokémon GO is out. One of the most anticipated features comes to the Niantic game, presenting the battles between trainers from all over the world and, in addition, rewarding you for it. The GO Fighting League has arrived, although the most interesting thing is that you can already get started in this preseason to test what the real battles will be like later on. A good way to start warming up for what is coming to Pokémon GO. Get your Pokémon ready, the ultimate battle is coming.
Why can't I play the preseason
As usual in Pokémon GO news, everything comes slowly. Niantic is working on adapting this new feature so that all players enjoy the best experience. Something that implies that there are constant tests, tweaks and readjustments. That is why, for now, Niantic is gradually opening the season, starting first with those Pokémon trainers with the highest level In this way, if there is an error to correct, it will affect a minimum number of users, having plenty of room to correct and put everything in its place.
Niantic's caution is such that they are not only preparing the combat mechanics before the GO Battle League, but they have limited the preseason to a few players at the beginning.They have started by opening the doors to this modality to those who have reached trainer level 40. But as the hours go by, the game reduces this requirement to welcome more users to this preseason. For this reason, and at the time of publication of this article, players with level 35 or more can already start fighting
The system is lowering the levels little by little each day, with breaks between days. So don't despair, soon you too will be able to join this function. And remember, you don't need to walk a minimum of kilometers or take any kind of special action. Only when Niantic drops the Trainer level enough will this option become available to you.
How to participate in the preseason
Once your Trainer level has reached the minimum required by Niantic, you will have the fighting feature unlocked in Pokémon GOYou just have to click on the pokéball icon on the main screen and see the new icon in full color. The one on the top right. It will be time to start fighting.
Once you click on the Fighting icon, in the shape of a paper airplane, you will see a new screen similar to what will officially be the GO Fighting League. But yes, remember that for the moment it is about the preseason, and that the prizes and other elements of the League will be given in the league, not during the time that this pre-season lasts as a test.
On this screen you will see your avatar and the statistics of the matches that you have carried out to date. That is, the number of fights, victories and defeats and even the amount of stardust obtained. Also, further down, you can start fighting, looking for a partner for such a feat. Of course, first take a good look at the basic rewards that are at stake and that you can get if you win a certain number of fights.
You should know that, during this preseason, there will be a rotation of leagues, thus opening opportunities to the full potential of your Pokémon team. At first, you will begin to play with the rules of the Super Ball League, but later, on February 10, the CP limit of your Pokémon will be extended as it happens in the Ultra Ball League, and finally on February 24 The Master Ball League will open. But don't worry, on March 9th you will be able to play again in a limited way with the features of the Super Ball League.
Knowing this, before going into battle, you can choose a team of 3 Pokémon to fight. Once this is done, a player who is willing to fight will be sought. In a few seconds, as happens in Clash Royale, an adversary is found and the fight is planned.And now it's time to hit the screen to hit. Remember that in this type of combat you will have two movements available when fighting, being able to choose any of the two when they are loaded. There will also be two shields, which will be key to the strategy of the fight. From here on, your skill with the types of Pokémon will determine the course of the fight.
When you win battles you can collect the rewards that you have been unlocking. Some of them will appear after you have fought and won a certain number of times. Something that will invite you to keep fighting constantly.
