A new update was released last night, bringing some major news to the imminent release of Generation 3. A dataminer also found an update to the servers that indicate Ho-Oh and Celebi will be released soon!
UPDATE RELEASE NOTES:
- Resolved a bug that wouldn't allow Pokémon to be powered up to their maximum CP
- Resolved a bug that made contribution reset when rejoining a Raid
- Various other improvements
SEVEN NEW MOVES: There are three new Fast Attacks (Take Down, Yawn, and Waterfall) and four new Charged Attacks (Surf, Psycho Boost, Doom Desire, and Draco Meteor). Doom Desire in Jirachi's signature move, Psycho Boost is Deoxys' signature move, and Draco Meteor is only usable by Rayquaza, Salamence, and Flygon. These moves are only preliminary, and are not yet ready to be used by any Pokémon.
BUDDY DISTANCE AND EVOLUTION: The recently-discovered downloaded text assets that suggested that some Pokémon may need to be walked to evolve now has some in-game code to back it up. It seems Niantic may be trying to implement friendship from the main-series.
HO-OH AND CELEBI: The 3D Models for Ho-Oh (Shiny variant included) and Celebi have been discovered on the servers. Although we are still missing their 2D sprites, This would suggest that we could see them this month, possibly even in the EX Raids on Friday.
It looks like we could be seeing that major update and new Legendaries very soon! Also, if you're interested in the newest main-series games, make sure to check the Official Pokémon YouTube Channel for a major trailer dropping at 9:00 A.M. Good luck getting your new Legendary Beast, Trainers!
