Niantic is also launching a new feature to help trainers tackle Raid Battles with other players in their area, similar to other existing third-party apps.

Users can join existing raid groups through the app, or decide to host their own for others to find and take part of. It even has an option for text communication, something that many have been asking for since its launch.
