Last week, Niantic started to tease long-awaited PvP functionality in Pokemon GO. The company has followed up with official details, and has also announced that the feature launches this month.

Here’s the full breakdown:

Earlier today, Niantic gave a first tease of PvP in Pokemon GO. We now have first details on what the company is calling “Trainer Battles”.

Trainer Battles will introduce three Pokemon GO Trainer Battle Leagues: Great, Ultra, and Master. Trainers will have to choose a league before participating in these battles, with each league having different maximum Pokemon CP limits.

Player versus player battles has been one of Pokemon GO’s most-requested features since launch. Very soon, Niantic may finally be delivering on fans’ wishes.

Niantic has been posting a few different teases on the Pokemon GO Twitter account today, culminating with the image above. It gives us what appears to be our first look at PvP. While we don’t really have much in the way of details yet, hopefully we’ll be learning more soon.
