How To Crossplay Pokemon Unite With Friends

Once you have logged in to the game and are at the main menu, tap on the top-right of the screen to access your player details.
You will see your player name and above it, a string of letters and numbers, this is your Trainer ID, and this is how you will make friends in Pokemon Unite. Share that with your friend, or ask them for theirs. In the same menu, scroll down to Friends and choose Friend Search.
Enter the Trainer ID of the player you wish to add, and wait for them to accept your request. Once they have accepted it, you can now go into a Unite Battle.
Once you’re in the lobby, tap the + sign on the spaces in the lobby, this will automatically bring up your friends list and allow you to invite friends in your friends list.
Once they are in the group, you can queue up for your games and enjoy!
Alternatively, if you just wish to play with people for a limited time, and don’t want them in your friend list you can also choose to invite them to your lobby. When you’re in the lobby, look at the top left for the Lobby ID.
You can share the lobby ID with them and they will be able to join your lobby as long as that session lasts.
