Pokemon GO: Ready button

Pokemon GO developers have introduced the new Ready button feature. The Ready button allows every trainer to initiate raid battles faster. Players can tap the Ready button in the raid lobby to signal they’re ready. Once all trainers are set, a 10-second countdown begins. The Ready button only shows with at least two trainers in the lobby; a full 20-trainer lobby shortens the timer and ensures quicker access to the Raid Boss.
