Pokémon Go now lets you join Raids from your friend list

Pokémon Go simplifies Raid joining via friends list! This update allows players to easily join raids with friends who are Great Friends or higher. No more invites needed!

It's been a quiet period for gaming news, but Pokémon Go players have a welcome surprise. Niantic has implemented a small but significant change, letting you see your friends' active raids directly from your friends list, including the raid boss. Simply join in to assist!

This minor tweak significantly improves the cooperative aspect for players with a high friendship level. However, solo players can easily disable this feature in the settings.

Solo Play Option Available

The official Pokémon Go blog provides detailed information on this update. While seemingly simple, this change addresses a long-standing player request, demonstrating Niantic's increased responsiveness to feedback.
