Pokemon Go new Trainer Battle Minigames are live & has 18 different patterns for Charge move

Niantic rolled out a new update for Pokemon Go this week, and it has brought many novelty features to the game. Pokemon Go update 0.149.0 has brought a new appraisal system to the game. The latest update has also brought Shadow and Purified Pokemon to the game.

Shadow and Purified Pokemon has been added in the wake of the upcoming Team Go rocket event. Along with this, a new charge move mechanics have been added to the trainer battle. The update also added mini-games for trainer battle, and now they are live in the game.

Speaking of Charge Move mini-games for trainer battle, it works with a swiping technique that requires little skill. It requires players to follow a pattern on the screen to perform a Charge move. As there are 18 types of Pokemon, hence we have 18 different patterns.

The charge move will be Nice, Great, or Excellent, depending on how well you have traced the pattern. Niantic has also given a new Pokemon team to Team Leaders – Blanche, Candela, and Spark.

Have a look at the new charged swipe patterns in the video below.

Team Leaders can also use Protect Shields now. Have a look at the video below. Also, in trainer battle now players will get 5 seconds to decide whether to shield or not
