POKEMON GO: Niantic Details New Update Which Includes New Pokemon, Evolutions, & Balance Changes
The most recent update to Pokemon Go sees the introduction of a bunch of new Pokemon and evolutions - as well as a couple of balance changes to Raid Battles.
A bunch of new Pokemon and "Evolutions" have been added to, Niantic's mobile masterpiece, Pokemon Go by a brand new update.
The "Gen 4" evolutions in particular regard some Pokemon which have been present within the game for a while now - like the iconic Lickitung and Tangela. To evolve these Pokemon, you'll first need to uncover a Sinnoh Stone. These stones can be unlocked via "Field Research" and by participating in PvP battles against other trainers.
As for what Pokemon are entirely new to the game; the dinosaur-looking Cranidos and Shieldon will now begin to spawn in the wild. The Combee and Glameow have also been added as well as, the latter's evolution, the Purugly.
Niantic have stated that they've attempted to make Raid Battles "more powerful and sturdy." They mentioned that a couple of moves have been nerfed and or buffed and that some Pokemon will be able to acquire brand new moves - which will help during said battles - Niantic provided an example of this: "Machamp now being able to know the Rock-type move Rock Slide!"
