Something Extraordinary Pokémon Go battle team leader

In the 2nd step, you must battle a team leader 3 times. The team leaders that are referenced by this task are Blanche, Candela, and Spark. With that in mind, here's how to battle a team leader 3 times.

• Click on the Pokeball at the bottom of the screen and select Battle.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the Battle menu to find the Training section.
• Select any of the three leaders and choose a team to initiate the battle.

It is worth noting that you don't need to defeat the team leaders in order to complete the task from Something Extraordinary Pokémon Go. In fact, you don't even need to complete the battles. You can exit the training immediately upon initiating it and still obtain the rewards for battling a team leader.
