Trainers, pay attention! 19 new Pokémon are waiting to be collected by you. We will tell you which new monsters are in Pokémon GO.
As of today, February 9, 2018, there will be significant incentives for all trainers in Pokémon GO to go out and hunt. Niantic has issued a new call for collection and has implemented new Pokémon in Pokémon GO that can be found in the wild starting today.
It is expected that these changes will be activated around 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM as usual, and the monsters will then appear. Since 10:00 PM, the new monsters have been in the game. These Pokémon originate from the 3rd generation (Hoenn region).
In total, you can find 19 new Pokémon from the 3rd generation in your area. Here is the list of all new Pokémon:
- Castform (weather-dependent)
- Swablu (Flying)
- Altaria (Flying)
- Wingull (Water/Flying)

- Along with these 19 monsters, the new raid boss Rayquaza is also added.
Until February 13, a special event is active. Until then, you can only encounter the Pokémon from the 3rd generation in the wild, making this weekend the perfect time for a long walk. This change also affects the eggs. The chance of containing a Pokémon from the 3rd generation has also been drastically increased. Starting from February 14, all Pokémon will reappear with their normal spawn rate.
