More than 80 new Pokemon are arriving in the world of Pokemon Go this week, Niantic and The Pokemon Company announced. The new creatures come from the Johto region, which were introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver. Players will be able to encounter these new Pokemon in the wild this week.
In addition to the new Pokemon, Niantic is also including new Evolution items for evolving Pokemon, and a new purchasable accessory and outfit options for customizing your trainer.
New berries will also be added to help trainers catch Pokemon. The Pinap Berry can double the amount of candy earned from catching a Pokemon if the next ball thrown brings a successful catch; the Nanab Berry can slow the wild Pokemon's movement.
While a full list of generation 2 Pokemon hasn't been released, Niantic specifically revealed that Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile will be among the new Pokemon coming to the game this week. The new additions will join the initial set of Pokemon from generation 2 that were introduced in Pokemon Go in December, which included Pichu, Elekid, Togepic, Togetic, Magby, Smoochum, Clefa, and Igglybluff.
The latest announcement was made as Pokemon Go'sValentine's Event comes to an end.
