Pokemon GO: Raid button
Pokemon GO developers have released a new feature called the Ready button. This button enables trainers to initiate raid battles more efficiently. By tapping the Ready button in the raid lobby, players can indicate their readiness. Once all trainers have done so, a 10-second countdown will commence. The Ready button will only appear when there are at least two trainers in the lobby; if the lobby is full with 20 trainers, the timer will be shortened, ensuring faster access to the Raid Boss.Pokemon GO is available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
