A Pokemon Go League is coming to Pokemon Go.

Niantic has announced that a Pokémon Go League will be coming to the game in 2020.

At this moment, Pokémon Go players can battle their friends in Pokémon battles to see who is the very best there is. Niantic is going to include a new feature called the GO Battle League, which allows players to challenge other trainers from around the world.

This new feature encourages trainers to walk around and explore their surroundings. It’s similar to how the main gameplay mechanic of Pokémon Go works; the chief mechanic in Go is about walking around and capturing Pokémon on your phone. To gain entry to the GO Battle League, you need to walk around with your phone physically.

In this Battle League, players can compete in online matches against gamers from other parts of the world. The official statement on the Pokémon Go website states that players can “rise in the ranks of the league.” The wording makes it seem as if there will be a ranking system for this Battle League. It possibly suggests there will be scores for players to keep track of when they play. It could also be a figure of speech, and the Battle League will be more a tournament-like feature in the game. Players will get the chance to compete with opposing trainers in a series of matches to determine who the best of the best are. It is also possible that only trainers with a specific ranking can officially compete in the Battle League.

The GO Battle League is expected to come to Pokémon Go in early 2020.
