Pokémon GO
Niantic have pushed live the new style of Trainer Battle Charge moves. Now, rather than tap, you now have to do a minigame based on the type of move and move itself to complete. With this, you have to touch various icons matching the type on the touch screen of the mobile phone. The more of the icons you hit, the more power the Charge Move
Edit @ 19:14: We have also updated our Trainer Battles section with a list of all the teams owned by the various Team Leaders in the game
