This characteristic is believed to permit as much as 4 gamers to see one another whereas enjoying and even work together in raids, routes, and challenges, which is one thing gamers have dreamed of for a very long time.

The dataminers shared a video of the alleged characteristic at work, exhibiting two trainers walking side by side on a map. In addition they shared screenshots of assets showing the feature, together with an choice for gamers to create and be a part of events.

None of this has been confirmed, however gamers have found what seems to be a symbol referring to the feature.
