If you havent had much luck with Pokemon Gos Trainer Battles, a local PvP mode, youll be glad to hear theres a new mode in the works. Niantic just announced the GO Battle League, which will launch in early 2020.
GO Battle League will allow you to fight trainers from around the world. The company didnt give much details about how the online matchmaking will work or how players will be ranked in the global leaderboard.
Still, Trainer Battles mostly limited you to battling trainers in your local area while the GO Battle League will help you find more trainers on your level.
