Pokemon GOhas improved greatly for the players who stuck with it, and this is a very good month to be aPokemon GOplayer. Not onlyis March filled with Legendary Raids, butPokemon GOis also about to introduce something that players have wanted since the game began.
PVP made its debut inPokemon GOsome time ago, and Trainer battles have been a regular part of the game since, despite their absence from the game’s early life. Now, the ways players can face off against each other is set to evolve with thePokemon GOBattle League, which brings a host of changes that will alter the way players compete and what they get from doing so.

ThePokemon GOBattle League will allow players to compete against each other on a global scale in a series of rotating Leagues, with players paired up against each other based on their relative power level. Each league has a higher CP limit than the last one, with the first starting on March 13. Each league lasts for about 14 days, so players should be sure to check where they fit in the power structure amid the Great (lowest), Ultra (middle) and Master (highest) leagues.
There are also a pair of events coinciding with the beginning of the first League, each with its own components and rewards. In the three days leading up to the League, players will see Registeel and Cresselia in Five-Star Raids, as well as 2x the normal Stardust rewards for Raid and Trainer battles. During the first three days of the actual League competition, more fighting-type Pokemon will roam the wild, the number of League battles a player can engage in will be 7 instead of the normal 5, and there will be a Stardust bonus for matches in thePokemon GOleague.
Whether players will measure up tothe toughest Raid bosses inPokemon GOis unclear, but the League will no doubt bring to light what the absolute strongest strategies are on a global scale faster than gathering data any other way.
There are, of course, other reasons to be excited about thisMarch forPokemon GOplayers, including this month’s Research Tasks. On top of that, the aforementioned Legendary Weekend Raids will be in full swing, even as the League comes into effect, so there is still much PVE action to be had.
