Pokémon Go now lets you join Raids from your friend list

by

As a seasoned Pokémon Go trainer with years of battling and catching under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie when it comes to joining forces with fellow trainers during raids. The latest update from Niantic has just made this experience even more seamless and enjoyable!

Today at Pocket Gamer headquarters is relatively quiet, given we’re nearing year-end and most game developers and publishers are gearing up for their Christmas vacations. However, if you were anticipating diving into Pokémon Go during the holidays, especially with the upcoming events on the horizon, this recent update will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face!

Niantic has introduced a convenient update that enables you to swiftly access your friends list. Now, you can quickly check if your friends are engaged in a Raid, know the boss they’re battling, and even join them immediately, without requiring an invitation!

As a fellow gamer, I find that having a strong bond with another player significantly enhances the experience, making collaboration effortless. However, for those who prefer to embark on their journeys independently, there’s an easy-to-use setting that allows you to opt out of this feature.


Go your own way

Being able to join in raids or other in-game events that your friends are involved in is a pretty basic modification, but one that indicates Niantic seem to be opening up a bit more to player feedback.
