Pokemon Go Might Bring Massive Upgrades, Says Dataminer

Pokemon Go players might soon get some new amazing features, according to the famous Pokemon Go dataminer Chrales. The next two features could mean a massive upgrade to the game.

Adventure Sync ‘Awareness’ & Lucky Friends

On his Twitter account, Chrales shared the following information with the public:

New feature of Adventure Sync : “awareness”

“Now Adventure Sync can notify you about nearby new Pokémon!”

“Adventure Sync can find nearby new Pokémon even while Pokémon GO is closed!”

As you can see above, “Awareness” will tell players when a Pokemon is close. Adventure Sync will be able to use the feature to find nearby Pokemon even when the app is closed. The current Adventure Sync only tracks how much you walk when the app is closed, so you can hatch eggs and collect Buddy Candy while not in the game. Adding the “awareness” to Adventure Sync is a huge improvement, and it’s far easier than having to check your phone constantly to see if a Pokemon is near!

The second feature is called Lucky Friends, and it will let you become… lucky friends with a person and your trades will become Lucky, meaning that you can trade Lucky Pokemon:

“{0} and you became Lucky Friends!”

“Your next trade with this friend will be Lucky!”

“Your next trade together will be Lucky! This means both Pokémon traded will become Lucky Pokémon.”

He also added a last post about the Leaf Tornado we mentioned in our previous article about the Equinox Event:

As for when we will see these two new features added to Pokemon Go, we have no clue yet. Will we be able to have more than one Lucky friend or trade more than one lucky Pokemon? We will soon see it if Niantic goes public with the update. At the moment, Pokemon Go has reached v. 0.137.2 – the update was released last week, no changes added, and only came with bug fixes.

Pokemon Go Equinox Event Live: Full Schedule, Shiny Oddish Reveal?

With spring finally making an appearance and everything turning green, Niantic Labs wasn’t going to miss on the occasion! They’re celebrating the rebirth of nature with a new event that will focus on Oddish, a Grass-type Pokémon.

Pokemon Go Equinox Event: Schedule, Rewards, Shinies!

No matter what you like to do in Pokemon Go, there are different things out there. Let’s see what you should expect during the Pokemon Go Equinox Event.

The Equinox event will have Grass-type Pokemon spawn a lot more often than before, so expect to see Oddish, Exeggcute, Shroomish, and Sunkern in the world. We will also see some shinies, changes to the raids and trainer battles, research tasks and more.

Schedule

The Equinox Event starts Tuesday, March 19 at 4 p.m. EST, and will end on March 26 at 4 p.m. EST.

We mentioned that Oddish will appear in the game and that we will see some shinies. Niantic didn’t confirm whether Shiny Oddish will make an appearance during the event, and the photo of the Pokemon only reveals the regular Gen 1 Grass and Poison-type Pokémon.

Oddish and its evolutions didn’t come in Shiny versions in Pokémon Go, but maybe the rare version will come during this event. The Shiny Oddish has a Green color instead of the blue one.

Research Tasks and Rewards

The event’s research tasks can be obtained from PokeStops, and the rewards should be the Grass-type Pokémon.

Switching Pokemon

Solrock and Lunatone from the Hoenn region will shift their spawning habitat during this event: Lunatone is now in West, and Solrock in East, but when the event will begin, they will swap places so that trainers can catch them both. After the event finishes, the two will remain in the new habitats.

Raids and Bosses

Expect to see Bosses in raids be replaced with Grass-type Pokémon.

New Moves For Your Pokemon

We will also see new moves: Acid Spray (Poison-type) and Leaf Tornado (Grass-type), both moves that can be learned by Poison-type and Grass-type Pokemon:

Acid Spray move: Arbok, Victreebel, Tentacruel, Muk, Alolan Muk, Quagsire, Qwilfish, Octillery, Swalot.

Leaf Tornado move: Shiftry, Victreebel.

Stay close for more updates about the event!

Pokemon Go can be found in Google Play Store or the App Store. Alteratively, you can get the current version of the Pokemon Go APK file – 0.137.2 (updated on 14 March), which can be safely sideloaded on your handheld device. You may download it from APKMirror.

Catch Smeargle In Pokemon GO in Four Easy Steps

We’ve said about the Generation 2 Pokemon that we didn’t see at all in the game a few days ago. It’s Smeargle, the ‘Mon with the most exciting moves in the game. Niantic has finally added it in Pokemon Go v.0.135.1, with the GO Snapshot that will let you take photos of the Pokemon you have in your collection.

But did you pay attention at the game hints in the loading screen? Somebody who was lucky enough did it and posted it on the Pokemon Go Twitter post which announced the following:

Trainers, #GOsnapshot is now live for Trainers level 5 and up! ? For Trainers level 5 and below, we encourage you to keep catching Pokémon and exploring the world of Pokémon GO, as level 5 will be the minimum level for Trainers to access this feature.

During the GO Snapshot sessions, you might encounter Smeargle that will photobomb your photo. You know that this Pokemon will copy the move of another Pokemon, so choose one that has a favorite move. Here is how to catch this elusive Pokemon.

Find and Catch Smeargle in Pokemon Go

  1. Choose a Pokemon with the move you want to copy and head to the Snapshot mode.
  2. Take photos of the Pokemon.
  3. Check if the snaps were photobombed by Smeargle.
  4. If Smeargle photobombed your shot, go to the map and catch Smeargle!

After you capture Smeargle, it will have the same move which it copied from the Pokemon you kept photographing. Smeargle will only show up once a day, so if you didn’t catch it or want to catch more, you can only get one per day. Also, some players took a long time before being photobombed by Smeargle – some waited for it for 200 shots, and others caught it in just 45 snaps!

Good luck!

Pokemon Go Update Download Available with Friends Feature and Trading Pokemons

It’s a component that players distressfully missed from the primary Pokémon series, which has customarily given two players a chance to trade Pokémon. Back in the July of 2016, Niantic’s CEO John Hanke revealed to Business Insider that it’s sort of a central component. Yet it wasn’t until the point when, a week ago, at E3, a Pokémon Go designer depicted the game’s up and coming trading feature.

The thing with the trading in Pokémon Go is that it will just work locally, in about 100 meters of another player. They expected to consider how to bring trading into this game where investigation and investigating new places is central to the game adjust. They would not like to ruin this thing, as said by Pokémon Go’s engineer Kristen Koa at a Niantic lunch. Here are the means by which Niantic depicts trading in their public statement:

About trading

Mentors will gain the Candy of the Pokémon received from trading, and that reward can increment if the Pokémon traded was gotten in areas far separated from each other. The Friendship level between players trading Pokémon will give different rewards including Stardust rebates. Higher Friendship levels between Trainers will open the Special Trades choice, which incorporates the capacity to trade some certain Pokémon, for example, provincial Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon and Shiny Pokémon, and adds new Pokémon to their Pokédexes. However, coaches who require the approval of their parent and registration through the Pokémon Trainer Club to play Pokemon GO will be not able to trade with different Trainers in the game.

About the “friends” feature

Niantic additionally reported that Pokémon Go would welcome the “friends” feature, which will concede players rewards the more they play together. Players can just include companions by utilizing each other’s “trainer codes,” something that may sound commonplace to Nintendo Switch proprietors.
