Niantic released some fun news today on their Twitter feed as we found out that Pokémon GO will finally be getting… Trainer Battles. Yeah, we know, it's not head-to-head, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Aside from your faction, you'll have three Battle League to choose from: Great, Ultra, and Master. Each League allows for a certain amount of maximum CP, with Great at 1,500, Ultra at 2,500, and Master with absolutely no limits. Basically, you're choosing your difficulty level.

While Pokémon with high CP might be a big advantage in Master League battles, Trainers will have to think more strategically when battling in the Great and Ultra Leagues, where there are specific CP limitations. pic.twitter.com/lRKc11Acbf

Developer note: When designing Trainer Battles, we wanted to create an experience that everyone can enjoy and ensure that different kinds of Pokémon can show their strengths! With Leagues in Trainer Battles, we hope to create a system that's accessible to many Trainers. 🙂

No official date was given as to when the League would become active, but it's already caused a stir of interest online as players are already planning what route to go and how they'll become one of the best in their League.
