There hasn’t been an update to the Pokémon Go app since the new year, we were beginning to get worried. Today Niantic have announced they’ve push a new update and it should be available to download from the App Store and Google Play Store pretty soon.

Officially here’s what the update has;

  • Updated Apple Watch to display Eggs obtained from PokéStops
  • Changed distance tracking to better account for GPS drift
  • Minor text fixes

Unofficially and thanks to the people at /r/TheSilphRoad we know a little more about some changes behind the scenes that may or not be coming soon.

Some of the hidden things include;

  • New Moves from the Johto Region, 38 in total
  • Evolution items such as the Sun Stone, Kings Rock and Upgrade for certain Generation 2 evolutions
  • Pokémon ‘Forms’ found, like for the Unown
  • News ‘Digest’ added for in-game news updates
  • More avatar customisation like belts and glasses
  • Shiny Pokemon and and Pokemon Gender
  • Debugging tools, sponsor types and more

It might be cool for a while if Niantic just added more Pokemon, but adding more things from the meta-game would be more interesting we think. Looks like it’s on the way.
