Party Play is designed to let four players join up in a single instance, letting your friends show up in your game via their avatars in the overworld.

When using the feature, you will be able to complete Party Challenges together by battling in raids, spinning PokéStops, catching Pokémon, and more to collect rewards. There is even a bonus called Party Power that doubles the damage of your next Charged Attack when used in raids, giving you a real reason to join up and work together using this new feature.

If you plan on getting out and trying out Party Play as it rolls out, there is a set of Welcome Party Special Research for you to complete for some bonuses while you explore the feature with your friends.
