Niantic has begun rolling out a new update for Pokemon Go. This one makes a number of quality-of-life improvements to the game, such as giving players the ability to select multiple pokemon while getting ready for a gym or in a raid, but the most exciting addition is the patch notes tease is the arrival of Gen 4 Pokemon.
Pokemon Go, but the latest patch notes suggest they'll start appearing in the wild soon. While none is available, just the Pokemon Go The Substituted Silph Road found that all 107 Gen 4 Pokemon is already in Go's code.
Of course, if you have not been able to play the game, it will be seen that most of them will start appearing at once, or if the developer will gradually stagger their release. Such was the case with Gen 3 Pokemon, which was given several months of the course.
This presumably also means that many more raid battles are on the way, as Gen 4 introduced a large number of legendary Pokemon to the series. We got a brief glimpse at one of these - Giratina - in the announcement trailer above, which also featured the Sinnoh Starter Pokemon Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup in their natural habitat.
Niantic has yet to announce when the new Pokemon will start appearing in the game or when the first Gen 4 Raid will take place, but we'll undoubtedly hear more soon. Those are the only new Pokemon players will be able to get, either. The Pokemon Company recently revealed more details about Meltan, the strange new Mythical Pokemon that (kind of) debuted after September's Community Day event. Among the other things, we learned how to get to catch Meltan, which involves connecting Pokemon Go with either Let's Go, Pikachu or Let's Go, Eevee for Nintendo Switch.
