To battle the other trainers around you in Pokemon Go, you first need to challenge the trainer which you can do by scanning the battle code of that trainer. 

If you have any Ultra Friends or Best Friends in Pokemon Go that reside near you, you can challenge them remotely. 

And if you also want to battle with the other trainers who are not even on your friend list in Pokemon go, you can challenge them through the GO Battle League in the game. 

Now, if you are planning to battle with an opponent who is not your Ultra or Best Friend, you need to be physically close to each other because both the players will require a special QR code, called the Battle Code to make the fight happen. 

You just have to meet the other trainer and scan their Battle Code to start the battle with them, or you can alternatively share your Battle Code with them to scan and start the battle. 

Once you have reached the trainer level 10 in the game, you can just simply go to the Main Menu of the game and select the “Battle” option where you can choose Nearby Battle and take part in it. 

If you want to remotely battle with your Ultra Friends or Best Friends, you again have to be in close proximity to each other. Then, you have to go to the Map View of Pokemon Go where you need to head to your Trainer Profile. 

Now, tap on the Friends tab present at the top of your screen. This will open the list of your friends in the game where you can select the friend you want to challenge for a battle and then tap on the BATTLE icon. 

To finally send the challenge, tap on the “Let’s Battle” button and once they accept your challenge, the battle will begin right then.
