Niantic Games announced that 80 brand new Pokemon will be available later this week in Pokemon GO. While the Pokemon craze has certainly died down in the past 6 months, there are still a ton of people that play the game. The latest Pokemon are from the okémon Gold and Pokémon Silver .
That isn't the only thing that is being added to the game. There will be new gameplay mechanics for trainers, including new encounter gameplay, new evolution items, two new Berries, and expanded outfit and accessory options for their Trainer avatars.
About the Pokemon Go Expansion:
With the latest Pokémon GO game update, new Pokémon evolution options will give players the ability to use new Evolution items to evolve their Pokémon into ones that were originally discovered in the Johto region. While catching Pokémon, Trainers can use two new Berries—the Nanab Berry, which slows a Pokémon’s movements, and the Pinap Berry, which doubles the amount of Candy received if the next catch attempt succeeds. Trainers will also be able to customize their avatar’s appearance with a new selection of hats, shirts, pants, and other items. Additional items will be available for purchase from the in-game Pokémon GO shop.
