Update: Added in the full announcement below.

Original: Niantic announced today that Pokemon GO will be adding 80 new Pokemon from the second generation of Pokemon games this week. Additionally, new features are on the way.

Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile are just some of the new Pokemon that can be encountered. New evolutionary items and berries are coming to the game as well. The former will help players complete their Johto collections, while the latter will make battles feel a little more challenging.

Pokemon GO will now have the Nanab Berry and Pinap Berry. With the Nanab Berry, Pokemon will be slowed down so it’s less likely for them to run off. Pinap Berries give players twice as much candy upon a successful catch.

New customization options can be purchased as well. This will allow users to further customize their looks.

It was recently announced that missing Mega Stones for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon would be distributed as part of online competitions. Now we have some clarity as to how this is being done.

Mega Stones will be handed out through two means:

– Given as a present to players of Online Competitions, such as with the Mawilite and Beedrillite in the upcoming 2017 International Challenge February competition; a limited amount of players will get the code ahead of a wait period of 1 to 2 months before all players get the code
– Through a code that will be given to all players through various events/online postings with no wait period

As Serebii points out, the method will vary depending on the Mega Stone and they intend to go through these methods until summer.

Aside from the Pokemon Sun/Moon news, Pokemon Duel should also be receiving an update tomorrow. The game will be updated to 3.0.2 and implements some balance changes.

Here’s the rundown from Serebii:

At the start of July, Pokemon GO will be celebrating its first anniversary. The game has no doubt been an incredible success so far over the past several months, but players have been waiting on new features, including the ability to trade Pokemon.

Speaking with Waypoint, Niantic CEO John Hanke did say that new features are due out soon in “an abbreviated form”, with more complete versions to follow later.

Hanke told the site:

“It has far surpassed our expectations in just turning everybody onto the potential for games that break out of the screen. But the priority for Pokémon Go now is to build in those things that reward co-operative gameplay, and make experiences available that offer more depth than just the capturing mechanic.”
