Co-op battles and horde encounters are now live in PBO

Team up with a friend in shared battles and take on wild Pokémon hordes in the latest PBO update.

Co-op and horde encounters are available now in the downloadable game. Browser alpha testing begins 4 September 2026.

Your adventure, together.

Create a Co-op Duo, invite a friend and meet on the same map. Two trainers can share wild encounters and co-op-enabled NPC battles, with each trainer able to catch their assigned wild Pokémon.

More wild Pokémon. One battle.

Natural hordes bring two or three wild Pokémon into a single encounter. Pure Nectar increases land-encounter hordes to four or five Pokémon. Choose your targets carefully and plan your moves.
