==Battle Challenge==
Players can challenge any player in close proximity by scanning another player's Battle Code which can be accessed from the Nearby screen. These Battle Codes are different to the QR codes used to add [[Friends (GO)|Friends]], with a new one being generated every time the player signs into the game. Players can also challenge Ultra Friends and Best Friends without having to be in close proximity. These Trainer Battles can be initiated by sending a Battle Challenge through the Friend List. The Battle Challenge feature can be disabled via the settings page.

Similar to battling a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, the player can command a Fast Attack by simply tapping the screen. Fast Attacks charge up the Charged Attack meter.

Once the Charged Attack meter is full, the player is able to activate the Charged Attack. Once initiated, the player can tap the screen repeatedly for three seconds to amplify the power of the Charged Attack. Whenever a player activates a Charged Attack, the opponent also has the option to use a Protect Shield to protect the Pokémon from any damage. Each player can use up to two Protect Shields per battle.  
Once the Charged Attack meter is full, the player is able to activate the Charged Attack. Once initiated, the player can tap the screen repeatedly for three seconds to amplify the power of the Charged Attack. Whenever a player activates a Charged Attack, the opponent also has the option to build a Protect Shield and protect the Pokémon from any damage. Each player can use up to two Protect Shields per battle.  


When a Pokémon faints, the player has 12 seconds to decide their next Pokémon to send out. If the player has not already selected a Pokémon after this time, the second Pokémon in the party will automatically be sent out to battle. Players are also able to [[Recall|switch]] Pokémon mid-battle. Afterwards, the player cannot switch out for the next minute.

Players are also able to [[Recall|switch]] Pokémon mid-battle. Afterwards, the player cannot switch out again for 60 seconds.  


The battle has a four-minute timer and the last 20 second countdown is displayed. If the time runs out, the player who has the most Pokémon remaining is declared the winner. If both players have the same number of Pokémon remaining, the player who has less damage to their remaining Pokémon wins the battle.

===Rewards===
Damage calculations in Trainer Battles are slightly different than that in Gym and [[Raid Battle]]s. Not only do moves have separate power values and energy costs, but all moves have a 30% damage boost in this mode, and [[weather]] bonuses are ignored. Since February 15, 2019, some Charged Attacks have a small chance of increasing the user's [[statistic|stat]]s after use.  
After the battle, both players will receive a randomly-selected reward, regardless of whether they won or lost. Players can only receive rewards from up to three Trainer Battles each day. Occasionally, a player may receive two rewards from one battle (possibly of the same items). These include:
: See more: ''[[Damage#Pokémon GO|Damage→Pokémon  GO]]
* {{Stardust}}500
 
* 1 [[Sinnoh Stone]]
==Battle Training==
* 1 [[Rare Candy]]
Using the same mechanics as Trainer Battles, players can also challenge {{OBP|Blanche|GO}}, {{OBP|Spark|GO}}, or [[Candela]] in '''Battle Training''' from the Nearby screen. Each of their Pokémon will have moves randomly selected from the possible move pool.
 
Team leaders will never use their Protect Shields or switch out their Pokémon in battle.


Battling also counts as a daily activity that increases [[Friends (GO)|Friendship level]].

==Battle Training==
==Rewards==
Using the same mechanics as Trainer Battles, players can also challenge [[Spark (GO)|Spark]], [[Candela]] and [[Blanche (GO)|Blanche]] in '''Battle Training'''. This can be accessed from the Nearby screen.  
After the battle, both players will receive a randomly-selected reward, regardless of whether they won or lost. Players can only receive rewards from up to three Trainer Battles each day. Occasionally, a player may receive two rewards from one battle (possibly of the same items).
 
A reward can also be earned from training with a team leader once a day. The potential rewards are basically the same as for Trainer Battles, except Stardust amounts vary between leagues. Like with Trainer Battles, there is a small chance of earning two rewards, but only if the player wins.  


The potential rewards differ from Trainer Battles and only one reward can be obtained each day. Each players can only receive one reward per day. Players can receive up to two rewards if they win a battle (possibly both the same item), but can only receive one item if they lose.
