Well, the wait is over because Pokémon Go Party Play is here to revolutionize the Pokémon Go experience. 

This is a completely new way to enjoy the game and explore new and exciting ways to connect with the community. The feature is now live for the players, but navigating through the game will not help you understand the feature. This is where we step in to guide you and steer you in the right direction. In this article, we’ll explain the Pokémon Go Party Play, how to host it, and how you can extract the maximum rewards from it. 


What is the Pokémon Go Party Play Feature?

This is the latest addition to the long list of Pokémon Go features that make it an interesting and exciting game to play. Players up to level 15 and beyond can create groups of four and explore the Pokéverse. They can also unpack a variety of party rewards by playing and completing challenges together. 

How to Host Party Play in Pokémon Go?

Hosting a party in Pokémon Go means creating a virtual room that your friends can join in order to play the game with you. In order to create such a lobby, follow the given steps:

  1. Launch Pokémon Go.

  2. Go to your profile and tap on the new party tab. 

  3. Tap on ‘Create’ and then on ‘Join Party’. 

  4. If you are joining a party, then manually enter the numeric code or scan the host’s QR code. 

  5. Once the room is full, the host will begin the game, and the map will appear. 

Host a Party

Party Challenges and Party Power

Party Challenges

Once you are in a party, there will be a series of challenges thrown your way. But you’re not alone. Your party members are here to accompany you on this adventure in the Pokéverse.

Party Challenges are tasks that players can complete together while playing in Party Play in Pokémon Go. Notably, every challenge is predetermined with its own set of rewards. The ones you will face are selected by the party host after everyone has joined Party Play. Once a Party Challenge has been completed, the host will have the option to choose another one.

These challenges usually include catching Pokémon together, participating in raids, or spinning PokéStops. 

Being in a party also brings another added advantage - Party Power. This is a special bonus that you and your friends in the party can enjoy collectively. Not only this, but it also doubles the impact that your defenses will have on your enemies. This will also help you tackle difficult challenges as a team and unlock a variety of rewards for yourself and your friends. 

Party Power

Party Power is basically a raid bonus that builds up as you and your team members attack the raid boss. Once the Party Power metre is filled, the next Charge Attack you use will receive a special boost. The more party members battling in the raid, the quicker Party Power will charge. 


So, are you ready to host a Pokémon Go Party Play and invite your friends to join you in this excitement?
