Pokémon GO Party Play is a gameplay within Pokémon GO that allows Trainers to team up with other Trainers to accomplish various challenges. Accomplishing the challenges grants the team of Trainers special bonuses and rewards. A Party is composed of at least two Trainers and a maximum of four Trainers, including you.
To participate in Party Play, you and the other members of your Party must be physically near one another both to join or host a party and to be a part of a Party. If you or one of the members of your Party is too far away, they will be removed from the Party or be unable to join. However, Party Play in Pokémon GO is available for Trainers Level 15 or higher.
Pokémon GO Party Play Challenges
When you first begin your Party Play session, you have the opportunity to select from predetermined Party Challenges. The Party Challenges are different and yield a different set of rewards. Some of these challenges may include spinning PokéStops or Gyms, or catching a certain number of Pokémon.
The Party Challenges and Rewards are as follows. However, please note that what you will see below are the minimum challenge requirements and rewards. By minimum, I mean a Party Play with just two Trainers. Challenges scale up their completion requirements depending on the number of Trainers in the Party Play.
