About Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO uses augmented reality to place Pokemon in the real world for you to discover and catch. Walk around your neighborhood, parks, and landmarks to find Pokemon, battle at Gyms, participate in Raids with other players, and spin PokeStops for items.
Community Days bring players together monthly for special Pokemon appearances and bonuses. Mega Evolutions, Raid Battles with legendary Pokemon, and Team GO Rocket encounters add depth to the collection gameplay. The Friend system lets you trade Pokemon, send gifts, and earn bonuses together.
With over 800 Pokemon available, seasonal events, and regular content updates tied to the main Pokemon franchise, the game continues to evolve years after its record-breaking launch. GO Battle League provides competitive PvP battling against players worldwide.

User Reviews
Pokemon GO got me walking 5 miles daily. The Community Days in my local park bring out hundreds of players and the energy is amazing. Trading Pokemon with friends adds a collecting dimension beyond just catching. Still playing since 2016.
Best family activity app. Weekend walks are now Pokemon hunts and my kids beg to go outside. Raid Battles at local landmarks teach teamwork and we have discovered so many cool spots in our city we never knew about. Healthy screen time.
