Party Play in 'Pokemon Go' allows players to join a squad of four players to catch Pokemon and challenge raid bosses. — Niantic/TNS
Niantic has always been big on bringing players together when it comes to their games. It's a key pillar in the design of "Pokemon Go" and "Monster Hunter Now." Players gather around events such as Raid Hour or hunt boosted spawns of a rare pink Rathian. They make friends face to face while accomplishing the goal of defeating a legendary Pokemon or carving parts from a rare creature.
Now, the developer hopes to amplify that feeling togetherness through Party Play in "Pokemon Go." The new feature, which comes out soon, lets players team up in groups of up to four and challenge each other to catch Pokemon, spin stops or do activities such as defeating raids. The new feature is available in the Trainer Profile under a new Party Tab. Once you create a party, it creates a numerical code or QR code so that nearby friends can scan or enter the numbers.
