Niantic Ready to Unleash Trainer Battles in Pokemon Go

The Pokemon Go blog has been updated with the big news that Trainer Battles are finally coming to the game. Later in December, players will be able to challenge friends or any other Trainer in the area. Each player will sport a team of three Pokemon that will duke it out to see which one survives the encounter. Win or lose, “both participants will receive great rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items”.
