In Pokémon GO there is the new update 0.151.0. Especially 3 innovations should please many fans. We show you what it has to offer.
What kind of update is this? The update 0.151.0 is currently being rolled out. This means that not all players can download it yet. In the coming days, you can certainly expect all the innovations.
There are no huge features, but data miners have found new Crypto Pokémon and some visual adjustments.
The most important innovations in update 0.151.0
These Crypto Pokémon have been found: The update has included 20 new Crypto Pokémon. These include:
- Diglett, Dugtrio
- Krabby, Kingler
- Shellder, Cloyster
- Geodude, Graveler, Golem
- Kangaskhan
- Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Rhyperior
- Murcrow, Honchkrow
- Hippopotas, Hippowdon
- Hawlucha, Gible, Gabite
Although all Pokémon were found in the update, they are not yet in the game. When Niantic will release these monsters in their Crypto version remains to be seen.
Many of the new Crypto Pokémon include monsters that were also used by Giovanni in the console games. So it is quite possible that they are related to the release of the Team Rocket boss. After all, he was also spotted at the GO Fest in Yokohama.
Are new hats coming for Pokémon? A discovery in the game files surprises the data miners. Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu were found with the suffix “Fall”, meaning “Autumn”.
It is now suspected that these Pokémon might wear a hat at an event in autumn. Something will definitely happen with these Pokémon, as otherwise they wouldn’t have been found with this suffix in the code.
Fights in PvP mode are now clearer: This small change delights thousands of players, as it was really annoying, especially in battles against Team Rocket: You can now see the HP display during team selection in the PvP mode.
This was not possible before, which is why you didn’t know whether your team was healed or not. Now it can be seen at a glance.
What else is new? Otherwise, there have mainly been visual adjustments. Hatching eggs now has a new animation that somewhat resembles the animation when releasing Pokémon.
Additionally, the ball size has been readjusted again after it was changed with the last update. Accordingly, the Pokéball is also back in front of the circle when thrown and not behind the circle. This was also introduced with the last update.
The Safari Zone in Canada starts in September. Even we German players have something to gain from it:
