The 16th season of PvP is coming to Pokémon GO and its schedule is quite busy. Events, cups and leagues await you with their lots of rewards. Let’s find out what’s in store for us until December.
How Pokémon GO Season 16 Leagues and Cups Work
If you’re not too familiar with PvP in Pokémon GO, here’s what you need to know. First off, battles take place in three against three. Each player can perform only one change manually during the fight. Each of you also has two shields used to block a charged attack.
As for how it works, you have to use a pass to participate in five fights. Once the five fights are done, you get rewards based on the number of victories you have had. The classic pass gives you rather common rewards while the premium one allows you to have better gifts. Also note that each league and each cup has its own rules in addition to the basic rules. If you want to know more, this is what we discuss in the rest of this article.
