Pokemon GO's new Trainer Battles feature is now live, which means players level 10+ can start throwing down in epic battles. In addition to the PvP battle offerings, players also have the chance to do some practice fights by challenging each of the team leaders.

The main focus of Pokemon GO Trainer Battles is fighting against other trainers in person or your Ultra and Best friends remotely. That said, there is currently the chance to do some PvE battles against three NPCs. Team leaders Blanche, Candela and Spark are all ready for battle if trainers know where to look.

Here's how to start a battle against the three team leaders:

1.) Open the 'Nearby' menu from the bottom right of the main UI.

2.) Tap on the Battle tab on the far left.

3.) Tap on the image of the Team Leader who you would like to challenge.

As far as starting the battle, that's all there is to it! Players who are level 30+ likely have plenty of good options for these fights and will find that the team leaders actually don't put up much a fight. The hardest battles are much more likely to come from other serious players.

Be sure to check back for more guides, updates, and strategies as we continue exploring and studying the new Trainer Battles metagame. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
