Some difficulties may arise if a player wants to change a party. It's not immediately clear how to do this, which is why we wrote this article to make it easier for readers to change teams in Pokémon GO and continue enjoying the gameplay.

How to make your choice

So, we'll repeat that as soon as a user reaches level five, they will have three teams to choose from:

Admittedly, there are only a few options, but it’s still worth considering which one to choose. For this, players need to consider some factors. Perhaps the most important of these is the team's significance. In reality, none of the teams listed above have any unique or legendary Pokémon. If the choice is between the first team or the second, there will not be any significant difference.

However, it is worth noting that the third team is currently the most hyped. Does this affect anything? Yes. Users entering the game will notice that this squad controls the most gyms.

Also, it will be much easier for you to fend off warriors from other parties and earn special in-game currency — PokeCoins — at the same time.

There is another significant bonus to being in a popular group. You will receive more rewards from the gyms under your control. As we mentioned earlier, Team Mystic controls the most buildings.

By the way, for your interest, you might want to read another one of our articles, which is dedicated to the mystical Pokémon Mewtwo.

We are not insisting that you join the magic clan, we are just explaining why it is beneficial to be in a popular party. However, players are likely curious to know what makes Team Mystic unique, as well as the other two groups.

Below is a table. Users should familiarize themselves with this before making a choice.

Name	Leaders	Description	Mascot
Mystic	Blanche	The leader is deeply interested in how and why the evolution of game animals occurs. They're convinced that Pokémon are highly intelligent beings.	Articuno
Valor	Candela	From the name alone, it's clear that strength is key here. The leader aims to be the best of the best. This means they are constantly searching for what can make them even more powerful.	Moltres
Instinct	Spark	Here, the intuition of trainers is prioritized, which can help win battles. After all, strength isn't always what counts: sometimes, it's more important to anticipate actions and orient correctly. They are also concerned with eggs and the entire hatching process.	Zapdos

Pay attention to the dialogues. Yes, they will have similarities, but they will also reflect certain moments that characterize each team.

If you feel that you made a mistake in choice, don’t turn off the game. Give the title another chance, as there are no hopeless situations. While you can’t turn back time, you can purchase a Team Medallion to solve the problem. This can be done in the in-game store. 

However, there are a few nuances. Firstly, this action can be performed only once a year. Secondly, it will cost the player a total of 1000 PokeCoins: either donate $10 or earn it in-game.

As for the first payment method, it’s simple, but a few words on the second one are in order. You need to leave a Pokémon as a defender in a gym, so that every ten minutes, you earn one coin. It would be a mistake to think this is an easy path to wealth, as the limit is 50 PokeCoins per day. Therefore, we advise readers to carefully consider which team to join from the start.

We have covered how to join a team in Pokémon GO and how to change a group if a player finds it necessary. It's simple, but costly, so set your priorities correctly!
