"Join Raids Easily with Friends in Pokémon Go"

Author : Lillian May 04,2025

In the latest update to Pokémon Go, players can now join Raids directly from their friends list, streamlining the way you connect and play with others. If you share a Great Friends status or higher with someone, you can easily see if they're in a Raid, who they're battling, and jump right in to assist without waiting for an invitation. This feature is perfect for those looking to team up during the holiday season, especially with the upcoming events in Pokémon Go.

While this change from Niantic might seem minor, it's a significant improvement for social gameplay. It allows for a smoother, more integrated experience when participating in Raids with friends. However, if you prefer to tackle Raids solo, you can easily opt out of this feature through a simple setting adjustment.

As we approach the end of the year, with many in the gaming industry slowing down for the holidays, this update is a welcome addition for Pokémon Go enthusiasts. For more detailed information on this update, you can visit the official Pokémon Go blog. This change reflects Niantic's responsiveness to player feedback, suggesting a move towards more community-driven features.

If you're planning to dive into Raids this December 2024, make sure to check our comprehensive list of upcoming Pokémon Go Raids by date. And don't forget to boost your gameplay with our latest Pokémon Go promo codes, ensuring you're well-equipped for your adventures.
