Raids Unleashed: Now Join from Your Friend List via Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go streamlines Raid joining via friends list! This minor but welcome update allows players to easily see if friends (Great Friends or higher) are in a Raid, view the boss Pokémon, and join without needing an invitation.

For those preferring solo play, an opt-out option is available in the settings. This enhancement simplifies cooperative gameplay and demonstrates Niantic's responsiveness to player feedback.

Solo Play Option Remains

Full details are available on the official Pokémon Go blog. While seemingly small, this update addresses a long-standing player request, making it easier to participate in Raids with friends.
