5. A new feature, Unite squads, will be added! Enjoy chatting with your squadmates!

A new feature, Unite squads, will be added to the game tomorrow, Wednesday, September 22. Players can create their own squads or search for already-existing squads to join and connect with other players.
Let’s take a look at Unite squad creation! You can decide what kind of squad you want—a squad in which Trainers aim to be the very best by pushing each other to succeed, or a squad in which Trainers relax and have fun together. By choosing squad tags that others can search for, like-minded Trainers can find each other easily.
You can also search for squads that other Trainers have made to find and make some Pokémon UNITE friends! Squadmates can use squad chat to talk to each other and have a good time!
Note: Some communication tools may not be available to users depending on their age or progress in the game.
