Pokémon GO: 17 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

1. Battle Your Friend's Pokémon

Until Niantic patch in real-time trading and battling between friends, we'll just have to make do with the weird gym setup as it is.

As such, battling your friends' Pokémon can only be done if they first station them at a gym, as approaching it to claim or train there will trigger the fight. If your friend is nearby, they can revive and heal to come back for another go after being defeated (as can you), and there is some fun in watching how the A.I. takes your fighter of choice and pits them against a pal.

It's not exactly what we wanted, but considering the HUGE server drain real-time battles would've required, is most definitely a fun alternative.
