In the new loading screen in March 2021 for Pokémon GO, monsters from the 6th generation are shown. This includes a new evolution of Eevee. We show you the findings.
What’s new? Pokémon GO regularly changes its loading screen. This is the graphic that you see while Pokémon GO is starting. Often, you can already recognize monsters and content that will be released in the near future.
For this reason, the new loading screen is already being hotly discussed among trainers. At least 4 new Pokémon can be found there. We show you which ones they are.
Loading screen with Xerneas and Feelinara
What can be seen: On reddit, user martychochrane shares the graphic. He is part of the PokéMiners team. These are dataminers who regularly check the code of Pokémon GO for news and then provide their findings to the community. Martycochrane writes that the new loading screen is supposed to be activated around midnight on March 16th.
We embed the found graphic from reddit here in the article. This way, you can take a look at it before it is activated in the game.
Which Pokémon can be seen? Some of the Pokémon can be seen right away, while others require closer inspection.
- In the foreground, a Pam-Pam climbs on a tree trunk, resembling a panda.
- On the right side of the tree trunk that Pam-Pam is climbing, you can find a Parfinesse in purple.
- Above, to the left of the beginning of the waterfall, you can find a Xerneas. A legendary Pokémon from the 6th generation.
- At the bottom of the waterfall, on a trunk, you can see the outlines of a Pokémon. Players suspect that this is Feelinara. An evolution of Eevee.
That is still completely unclear. It is quite possible that Niantic only wants to provide a preview of what will happen “someday” with the new loading screen. It is also possible that some Pokémon will already be released in the coming weeks. However, a new loading screen is no guarantee that a change will be implemented immediately in the game.
You need to know about the Pokémon
We briefly present the found Pokémon here and explain what makes them special.
Pam-Pam: The Pokémon Pam-Pam is of the Fighting type and has an evolution stage: Pandagro. So far, nothing is known about its moves or stats, making it difficult to assess how important Pam-Pam and Pandagro will be for you.
Parfinesse: This Fairy-type Pokémon is the final evolution of Parfi. As a Fairy attacker, it could play an important role in Pokémon GO and broaden the lineup of strong Fairy attackers.
Xerneas: The most important Pokémon that can be recognized on the loading screen. It belongs to the Fairy type and is legendary. This actually suggests that it could be one of the best Fairy attackers. However, the moveset is still unclear. If it has strong attacks, it could replace current Fairy attackers like Togekiss or Gardevoir.
Feelinara: As the name suggests, Feelinara is also a Fairy-type Pokémon. The special thing is that it is an evolution of Eevee. Here you can see how to evolve Eevee in Pokémon GO into its 7 possible forms. How to evolve Eevee into Feelinara is still unclear. There may be a special evolution item, or it might work like with Espeon and Umbreon, where you first have to walk 10 kilometers and then fulfill another requirement.
