Pokemon GOTrainer Battles seem to be right around the corner and the community of players is very eager to dive in and start mastering the PvP features. Although the launch hasn't started yet, it seems like Niantic has learned from its past mistakes and is offering some rollout information early.

Whenever Pokemon GO launches a major feature (like Battle Raids or Friends), sometimes they start by only offering level 40 players access and then gradually expanding to lower levels as they ensure that the new build is stable. This is a smart strategy, but a lack of communication about these plans has caused drama in the past. This time around, Pokemon GO is making it very clear that Trainer Battles will have a similar slow rollout for those same reasons.

Here's a look at the confirmation tweet from Pokemon GO regarding the rollout of Trainer Battles...

In the past, it has only taken between a few hours and a few days for new features to reach everyone down to level 10. Hopefully players can expect a similar rollout this time around, assuming no major issues are discovered. There isn't an official start time for the rollout, but a lot of hints indicate the feature is coming later this week.

Be sure to check back in the next few days as we draw closer to the release of Trainer Battles. We'll be sure to post more news, updates, and guides once the feature is live. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
