Trainers,

Pokémon GO’s raid and Gym battle experiences are being improved globally! These updates are intended to improve stability, reduce latency, and make it easier to add new features in the future. Updates include changes to the damage outputs, energy generation, and durations of certain Pokémon attacks for raids and Gym battles only.

Thank you for continuing to play Pokémon GO, and as always, let’s GO!
