This feature will let the users know more about their friends’ buddy Pokemon, their trainer level and also other activities. These activities could include the total number of Pokemons they have caught, battles they won and even the total distance they have travelled while playing this game. This can also allow the users to start gifting, trading and track their friendship levels. Apart from this, there are also some steps that can be followed to make a new friend in Pokemon Go.

  • The try to spot the Friends menu 
  • Then they need to click on the “add a friend” option 
  • All the players need to do is take their friends’ Trainer Code and paste them into the box

This new Trainer Code might just be inspired by Nintendo’s Friend Code concept. These are unique ids of each player that can be used to interact with others in the game. Doing this is certainly beneficial for the players as well as their friends. This is mostly because of the extra experience points, Pokeballs and stardust that can be received easily while participating in events and raids in the game. All of this depends on the friendship level amongst the players. As the friendship level increases, the players will start getting more rewards and experience points in the game. Apart from this, the Pokemon Go players are currently enjoying the new Pokemon Fifth Anniversary collection that has been launched. Nothing new about Pokemon Go has been announced by the makers yet.
