Game attracted Pokemon GO Mobile AR Users Since its release in 2016, the developers keep releasing new features and improvements to the game periodically.
The latest game update (v0.265.0) brings certain bug fixes and improvements to compatible mobile devices.
According to the patch notes from developer Niantic, it also brings new events like Carnival of Colors and Let’s GO among others.
Another new addition is the ability to invite more than five friends to a raid, making it more suitable for completing raids on a higher difficulty level.
There was a cap on the number of “Trainers” that could join a Raid Battle remotely, and this limitation also applied to invited friends, but the game only allowed Trainers to invite up to five friends to a raid lobby.
But sometimes players may need to invite more than five friends to quickly finish higher level raids like Mega and Elite Raids.
The latest update fulfills this need and brings the ability to invite more than five friends into a raid.
And while you can only invite up to 5 friends at a time, you can choose to add more friends to the same raid lobby after a short 30-second cooldown.
How to invite more than five friends to a raid in Pokemon GO
Launch Pokemon GO and join the raid lobby with a basic Raid Pass or Remote Raid Pass.
Click on the invite friends button available on the right side of the screen.
Send an invite to five of your friends and confirm it.
Watch the raid lobby timer and wait 30 seconds for it to pass.
Send more invitations by reopening the invitation list.
If there is still time in the lobby, this can be done as many times as necessary.
Once the invitations are accepted by your invited friends, they can join the raid lobby.
It is important to note that the raid battle will still be open to invited players even if you decide to leave the lobby.
However, if you are the only Trainer in the raid lobby and you leave before another joins, no invited user will be able to join the lobby using your invitation.
