Together with the new Field Research in November in Pokémon GO, players get the chance to catch the new Pokémon Ninjatom and a new Shiny.
The new Field Research concerning Ninjatom will be available starting November 1 at 9 PM.
Bug Pokémon: The new Field Research revolves around the “Bug” type. In addition to the Bug Pokémon Ninjatom, players will have the opportunity to obtain other Bug Pokémon from Field Research.
Shiny Raupy: Another highlight will be a new Shiny family. For the first time, Raupy and its evolutions will be available in their shiny form.
Ninjatom in November – And Nincada?
Ninjatom is a Pokémon from Generation 3. It is one of the few Pokémon from this generation that has not yet been released.
Available in Research Breakthrough: Ninjatom will be the Field Research breakthrough for the month of November. Players can obtain the Pokémon by completing Field Research on seven days. In October, the Research Breakthrough is the legendary Pokémon Suicune.
Two Evolutions: Ninjatom evolves from the Pokémon Nincada. Nincada can evolve into Ninjatom and into Ninjask.
In the console games, Nincada could only evolve into Ninjatom if the player had a maximum of five Pokémon in the party and carried a Poké Ball. Nincada didn’t actually evolve; instead, Ninjatom came from the shell of Ninjask. How the evolution works in Pokémon GO is not yet known.
Pre-evolution from Field Research? There is speculation in the community that Ninjatom will not be the only new Pokémon in November. It’s possible that players can obtain its pre-evolution Nincada from regular Field Research. This could then evolve into Ninjask. However, this is not confirmed.
Further Field Research concerning Bugs: Along with the research about Ninjatom, surely more Bug Pokémon will be available through quests.
Also Shiny Pinsir? Raupy might not be the only new Shiny in November. Niantic announced a Safari Zone in Taiwan some time ago, where the Bug Pokémon Pinsir is supposed to play a major role. It would make sense for trainers around the world to have the opportunity for a shiny Pinsir. Field Research could make this easier.
What do you think about the new Research Breakthrough? Are you excited for Ninjatom?
Currently, the Halloween event is running in Pokémon GO – These are the bonuses.
