5 More Pokemon Have Been Discovered in Pokemon Go

Yesterday, Niantic revealed that Pichu and Togepi are coming to Pokemon Go along with "several other Pokemon" which they haven't specified. Since Pichu and Togepi can only be acquired through hatching, we expected that other "baby Pokemon" will also appear in the game. It turns out that was Niantic's plan. According to reports via Reddit, users have discovered other "baby Pokemon", including leffa, Igglybuff, Smoochum, Elekid, and Magby.

Regarding the recent update, here are the full details from Niantic:

Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can't wait to see what Pokémon you've hatched!

We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you'll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu.

Niantic says that more Pokemon will be added in the coming months.
