Players don’t have to set out with a group of Friends to participate in Friends Fest, but a few of the bonuses do really want trainers to be working with their friends. The increased raid attack damage and the bonus Lucky Trade both are great motivation to team up with a buddy, take a break from catchingthe best Unova region Pokemon in the game, and take part in the event.
