With less than two days to go we are seeing big movement in the world of pokemon go. This comes as an unexpected update for Android and apple users version 0.69.0 for Android and 1.39.0 for iOS.
Some of the guys at Silph Road as well as Pokemon Go Hub have already complete data-mining the new update and boy is there alot instore for trainers!
Bug Fixes
Remote berry feeding
Some much needed fixes have been introduced like the ability to feed your pokemon berry's remotely! That's right you don't have to be at the gym where you're pokemon is to feed it.
Berry spamming
Also you can feed an allied pokemon beyond its limit. A new way to level up a gym you frequent, stardust and maybe a chance to get Candy's from feeding said pokemon. Never happened for me yet. Nanab berrys away!
Health bar fixes
Health bar fixes. Remember that raid boss who's health kept bouncing back while you were attacking relentlessly! Well hopefully with this update it's a thing of the past.
Pokemon Go plus
There is hints from the code there may be fixes to the way the pogo plus connects and reconnects after dissconecting, and maybe even new functionalitys.
Heal animation fixes
I really wanted this for a while and I feel its important for healing pokemon to be smooth especially after an intense raid battle.
Badges galore
New badges on the way? The code suggests it will be easier for new badges to be added, queue legendary raids defeated badge! There is already code for number of legendary raids won, bronze, silver and gold.
Pokemon Go Festivities
Event check in
A new check in mechanism has been found, this could be a way to curb spoofers. Its a qr code scanner!
Even specific stops and raids
There may be a special pokestop to check in to events, special pokestops which are exclusive (maybe in item giving) as well as exclusive raids maybe specifically for attendees or broader spectrum (cough global event cough).

Ultimate gym stage
There's going to be a huge screen that will be erected. We may be seeing immense gym battles take place on that screen as well as maybe the first legendary raid to ever take place! (remember the pokemon go promo video).
This just in the event will be covered on twitch!
Legendary Raids
Here's what the legendary raid pass looks like:
