Trainers around the world can now join raids from their Friends List!

Trainers can check their Friends List to see if any friends with a Friendship Level of Great Friends or higher are in a raid lobby and which Raid Boss they’re challenging—and then join the raid without an invitation!

Open your Friends List, then sort by “At a Raid” to see which friends are currently waiting to join a raid.
