Pokémon GO 2nd Generation Release this Week
This week, the changes in Pokémon GO will be unlocked. Look forward to the following changes:
- More Pokémon: Over 80 new Pokémon from the 2nd Generation can be discovered in the game. Additionally, there will be Pokémon with different genders available in the game.
- New Evolutions: With the update, you can expect more opportunities to evolve your monsters in Pokémon GO. Some Pokémon from the Kanto region can now evolve into Pokémon from the Johto region. At the different PokéStops, you will find special evolution items that are needed for the evolutions of the Pokémon. You should save these candies for 2nd Generation evolutions.
- Encounter Gameplay: The encounters with Pokémon in the wild have been revamped. The gameplay now visually looks different and offers you an item carousel from which you can directly select items such as berries and Poké Balls.
- New Berry Types: There are now two new types of berries available at PokéStops: The Nanab Berry and the Sanan Berry. A Pokémon that receives a Nanab Berry will move more slowly. The Sanan Berry doubles the amount of candies you receive when your next capture attempt is successful.
- New Avatars and Customizations: You can now change your avatar visually in more detail. Hats, shirts, pants, and other items can be customized.
As soon as there are news about the release of the update, we will inform you.
