Pokemon Go: How to Change Teams

Once you reach Level 5 in Pokemon Go, you can choose a team: Instinct, Mystic, or Valor. Only recently was an item introduced, called the Team Medallion, that lets you change teams after this moment. Here’s how to get a Team Medallion, how to use it, and things to keep in mind.

How to Get a Team Medallion
[edit]

Getting a Team Medallion is, all things considered, quite simple. 

1. Open up the shop.

2. Scroll down to the “Team Change” section

3. Purchase the Team Medallion. This will cost 1000 Pokecoins – about $10 USD.

How to Change Your Team
[edit]

Once you’ve purchased a Team Medallion, you won’t be prompted to immediately change your team. Instead, you can hold onto it as long as you’d like to. 

Go to your Items pouch and scroll down to the Team Medallion. You will be prompted to choose a team.

Don’t worry, you can look at this screen and tap on the different team leaders without being locked into a choice. A notification will pop up ensuring you want to stick with your new decision. 

If you back out of this screen without making a choice, you will still keep your Team Medallion.
