Pokémon Go Fans Excited by Addition of Innovative Battle Feature

Niantic has rolled out a new battle feature in Pokémon Go that shares useful information about type effectiveness, and players are already praising its implementation.

Some Pokémon Go users have noticed a new question mark icon next to the research tab in the game. According to those who have become familiar with the icon, tapping it when choosing teams for Raids and battles reveal details about the effectiveness of the Pokémon’s types in the upcoming battle.

Such an addition means that players can assemble the most effective team before entering a combat scenario.

Needless to say, this should be a boon to those who are uninformed about the effectiveness of the types. This should also help players wanting to save time before the match.

Pokémon Go players applaud brand new battle feature

Confused about the feature’s arrival, Reddit user Anna1342 asked other Pokémon Go players: “Is this new or am I just stupid?”»

The Redditor shared screenshots of the icon and its link to a “Type Effectiveness” page. Users were quick to note that the feature is rolling out on a staggered schedule, meaning it’s not yet generally available.

Discussing the issue further in the replies, the original poster said: “…this saves so much time.»

Several people were also quick to note the usefulness of the new addition. “It’s new and it’s great!” I don’t think it’s global yet so enjoy it,” one person remarked in the thread.

Other Pokémon Go fans didn’t waste any time applauding the new feature, either. Another person in the comments said: “I’ve had it for at least a week, maybe a little more. A superb addition. Many of my teams are specialized for the fastest knockout now.»

It is currently unclear when all Pokémon Go users will have access to the latest time-saving addition. One thing seems certain, though, it will likely become a fan-favorite feature.
