A new 'Re-Unite' feature is going to debut in the game following the update. This feature will let you team up with the random teammates you had just competed with in a casual or ranked match. Ever wondered if you could have played with that one pro-random teammate again to rank up quickly? This feature will allow you to form a team with the same set of randoms you just played with. This feature will help you make new in-game friends more easily.

The quick chat feature will also see new phrases, and it will also be available on the lobby screen. You will also be able to invite your teammates and strategise the selection of Pokémon before the battle on the selection screen by using the microphone button. However, this feature will only be available for Master rank players.

New Events: This update will introduce the 'Super Magikarp Splash event' that will be available between January 15 and January 28, 2026.
