Pokémon GO Team Leaders Revealed

Pokémon GO Team Leaders Revealed

John Hanke, CEO of Pokémon Go developer Niantic, revealed the answer to a huge mystery at today’s Pokémon Go panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The reveal of the three team leaders players can choose to join in the game.

When a player reaches level five, they can choose a team to join. The options are Team Instinct, Valor, and Mystic led by Spark, Candela, and Blanche respectively. Each team corresponds with a legendary bird Pokémon and play-style. Zapdos for Instinct, Moltress for Valor, and Articuno for Mystic.

Niantic’s John Hanke said during today’s Comic-Con panel that the team leaders’ final art wasn’t finalized before the mobile game’s launch, hence the silhouettes.

Candela is in charge of Team Valor (red), Blanche is captain of Team Mystic (blue) and Spark is the leader of Team Instinct (yellow).

Check out the Screenshots:

“During the panel, Hanke also discussed some of the other features Niantic is thinking about bringing to Pokemon Go. He stressed that he was not confirming these, only that they were under consideration. Among them is Pokemon Centers, which are used to heal and store monsters in the core games. It is unclear what function they’ll serve in Pokemon Go, however.

On the subject of trading, Hanke said Niantic needs for the Pokemon Go servers to stabilise before they can introduce the ability to swap monsters with other players.”
