In Pokémon GO, the update 0.177.0 is upcoming and could bring some exciting changes. This includes a raid feature that has been often requested.
Where does the information come from? It all comes from data miners. They have extracted the data from the new update and have come across interesting innovations.
However, keep in mind that these are leaks. The features may not even make it into the game or may come much later. Nevertheless, they sound promising.
New Raid Feature and Additional Medal
What could change in Raids: With the remote raids in Pokémon GO, you can now casually do a raid from home. The problem: You can’t see if another player wants to raid as well. So, you have to sacrifice a raid pass and enter the lobby to signal to other players that you are ready to go.
The data miners have now found indications that the raid pass must only be used when the raid actually starts. This way, you could enter the lobby as many times as you want and show your presence to other players. This way, you do not lose the expensive raid pass.
This would implement a widely desired feature. It would help bridge the lack of chat functionality in Pokémon GO and better coordinate your raids.
This new medal has been found: Data miner Chrales shows on Twitter a brand new medal for Pokémon GO. It is the Wayfarer medal. Wayfarer is the system with which you can edit PokéStop proposals.
It seems that you will soon be rewarded in some way for working with Wayfarer. So, it could be that you gain progress on the medal for rated PokéStops.
What else is new? There are a few smaller finds that we don’t want to withhold from you:
- In PvP mode, you will be shown when you already have a charged attack and then charge another attack on top – This feature has already been confirmed by Niantic
- Stickers were found in the update – In the Pokémon games, these were always used to beautify items like Poké Balls
- Initial details about a possible shop subscription were discovered, but there is still too little information to be more specific
It remains to be seen which of the discovered features will be implemented and how long that will take. Until then, you can already diligently catch the new Galar Pokémon. We will show you how strong the monsters are.
