Pokemon Go Receives Additional Gen 4 Pokemon And Adds Significant Battle Changes, Too

Niantic added a few new Pokemon monsters in Pokemon Go and made some significant battle changes, too. More specifically, the company released several Gen 4 Pokemon in Pokemon Go, such as Diamond and Pearl, as well as two new evolved forms and a baby Pokemon. Also, Niantic added some changes to the trainer and raid battle gameplay.

“In our previous Community Note, we outlined some changes that came to Pokemon GO that affect your Pokemon’s effectiveness in battle. We have similar news to share today, detailing Raid Battle and move balance changes, and move set additions to the game, which you may have seen referred to in our most recent Sinnoh region update,” Niantic said via the official release notes of the new Pokemon Go update.

“For the Raid Battle changes, the featured Pokemon will now have an HP increase to offset some of the damage increases made to the attacks of other Pokemon in the last year. We hope this will provide a greater overall challenge as well as encourage Trainers to group up to win,” the company added.

“When it comes to move balance changes and move set additions, we have been keeping an eye on how well some Pokemon are performing in battle compared to others. That means adjusting the power of some moves in Trainer Battles and giving Pokemon new moves that improve their success in matches,” Niantic added.

As for the trainer and raid battle changes that Niantic implemented recently in Pokemon Go, the company stated that the modifications in raid battle would “increase raid health for featured Pokemon in Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5 Raid Battles,” while the “trainers will receive increased Stardust for completing Raid Battles.”

Also, the trainer battle moves would have damage changes. For the full release notes regarding the addition of Gen 4 Pokemon monsters in Pokemon Go and the new significant battle changes, check out PokemonGo Live, Niantic’s official Pokemon Go news portal.

Pokemon Go Update Comes Out With New Pokemon From the Sinnoh Region

Recently, Pokemon Go received a new update. It seems that the new Pokemon Go update comes out also with new Pokemon from the Sinnoh region and their respective evolutions. The Pokemon monsters of the Sinnoh region, in the Pokemon universe, emerged in Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. They included their individual developments, but those would need unique items to happen.

“The Pokemon cited in the update included Lickilicky and Tangrowth, which evolve from Lickitung and Tangela respectively. Players must have Sinnoh Stones in order to evolve these Kanto-region Pokémon into their Sinnoh counterparts, and those aren’t easy to come by. Additional evolutions, as hinted at by attached art heralding the update are Ambipom, Gallade, and Yanmega – which come from Aipom, Kirlia, and Yanma,” Polygon reported.

Accordingly, thanks to the new Pokemon Go update, we’ll get the chance to catch Lickilicky and Tangrowth, which would develop into Lickitung and Tangela, as well as Ambipom, Gallade, and Yanmega evolutions which would come from Aipom, Kirlia, and Yanma.

“Trainers, did you know that some Pokemon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region evolve from Pokemon previously discovered in other regions? Starting today, you’ll be able to use a Sinnoh Stone to evolve Lickitung into Lickilicky, Tangela into Tangrowth, and more,” the official Pokemon Go update release noted said.

“There are also some big changes coming! You may notice that Pokemon that appear in Raid Battles are more powerful and sturdy when you challenge them. Plus, some moves that certain Pokemon know may be stronger or weaker when used in battle. Finally, certain Pokemon may be able to learn new moves via TM that will help them perform in battle, such as Machamp now being able to know the Rock-type move Rock Slide,” the release notes added.

In short, the recent Pokemon Go update comes with new Pokemon monsters from the Sinnoh region and their respective evolutions.

Pokemon Go Community Day of February 2019 Already Announced by Niantic

As February is about one week away, it’s the ideal time for Niantic to tease us with details about the Pokemon Go Community Day of February 2019. And indeed, Niantic announced new information on the next event in Pokemon Go which would take place Saturday, February 16th.

“Get out and play together in your local community parks on Pokemon Go Community Day. For just a few hours each month, you can encounter a special Pokemon in the wild. During these hours, there’s a chance to learn a previously unavailable move for that Pokemon or its Evolution, as well as earn some Community Day bonuses. Celebrate what it means to be a part of the Pokemon GO community and make new friends along the way,” explained Niantic the concept of Pokemon Go Community Day.

The Pokemon Go Community Day of February 2019 would feature Swinub Pokemon. It would appear more frequently in the wild, and players can grab a Shiny Swinub during the event, too.

Any Swinub will evolve Mamoswine, its final form, within hours after the event ends. It would also learn a special move, but Niantic did not mention which one would that be. Mamoswine was one of the evolved forms released in Pokemon Go along with the fourth-generation titles. To develop a Swinub into Mamoswine you’d need the Sinnoh Stone, a newly introduced evolutionary item in Pokemon Go.

You can gain a Sinnoh Stone via Trainer Battles, during Pokemon Go Community Day events when coaches have the chance to get up to five Sinnoh Stones by fighting other players.

Pokemon Go Community Day of February 2019 would take place on February 16th between 2 PM and 5 PM ET (10 AM – 1 PM UTC for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). It would feature Swinub and its Shiny version, as well.

Pokemon Go Feebas-Themed Event To Take Place On January 19th, Niantic Announced

According to a recent Niantic announcement, Pokemon Go Feebas-themed event would take place on January 19th. The event would focus on the Water-type Pokémon Feebas and Field Research tasks. The Pokemon Go Feebas-themed event begins on January 19th at 2 PM EST (11 AM PST) and would last until 5 PM EST (2 PM PST).

“Spin the PhotoDisc at nearby PokeStops to obtain Field Research tasks that lead to encounters with Feebas. And, if you’re lucky, you just might find a Shiny Feebas,” hinted Niantic in their recent announcement, published yesterday on the official Pokemon Go site.

Even though it’s only a very short-lasting event, the gamers would have the unique opportunity to grab Feebas which is a very rare monster in Pokemon Go. Also, catching the Shiny Feebas is even much rarer so you should take advantage of the Feebas-themed Pokemon Go even of January 19th.

Even more, Feebas is a unique monster in Pokemon Go as it requires an additional step to evolve. In order to develop it, coaches have to collect 100 Feebas Candies, but also to make 20 kilometers with Feebas as their buddy.

As Niantic announced, the Pokemon Go Feebas-themed event would come with “Limited Research tasks which will be available when you spin Photo Discs at PokeStops.” Also, by completing the Limited Research missions, you will get rewards, and you’ll have the chance to meet Feebas. “You may also encounter a Shiny Feebas,” Niantic said.

“Feebas migrate quickly during Limited Research, so exploring is key! As long as you’ve collected the Limited Research during the event window, you can complete it at any time. Don’t forget: you’ll need to venture onward to many PokéStops in order to get new Field Research tasks and encounter as many Feebas as possible,” Niantic explained.
