A new update for Pokemon GO is “rolling out right now” according to the Pokemon GO site.
The update will add the daily bonus system to Pokemon GO, which will reward players for catching a Pokemon and visiting a PokeStop each day. Repeating this each day will net you further rewards. Additionally, Niantic has said that Pokemon spawn rates will be higher until November 11, alongside extra items being given out at PokeStop. The Pokemon GO Twitter released this helpful picture in a tweet to explain the daily bonus system.
How about a bonus on your bonus? From Nov 7 – Nov 11, you can find more Pokémon & get more items from PokéStops! https://t.co/l13dRCPveW pic.twitter.com/4BvetrzmFK

Generation 2 Pokemon data found in latest Pokemon GO update
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 15 Comments
Pokemon GO’s latest update has begun rolling out, and it seems like there’s more than just the officially documented changes in it. Data miners at The Silph Road discovered data for 100 new Pokemon in the update – everything from Chikorita to Celebi, i.e. the whole of generation 2. Moveset data for these Pokemon seems to not have been added yet.
That’s not all, though – data for Ditto and its signature move, Transform, has also been found in the update.
Of course, keep in mind that this is all just datamined info at this point – these new Pokemon are not available in the actual game yet, and all of this info is subject to change.

Eevee now hatches out of a five-kilometer egg in Pokemon GO, no Rattata/Pidgey in eggs
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 7 Comments
Update: Niantic has further clarified the situation with a tweet, stating that in addition to Eevee being limited to five-kilometer eggs, players will no longer recieve Rattata or Pidgey from their hatched eggs. Furthermore, players will find different Pokemon where Zubat, Rattata and Pidgey were commonly found prior to this update.
Professor Willow has discovered that Pidgey & Rattata no longer hatch from Eggs. He also found that Eevee now hatches from 5 km Eggs only.

Professor Willow has discovered that you may encounter other Pokémon where Pidgey, Rattata, and Zubat were previously more commonly found.

Original: Niantic recently made a change to Pokemon GO which is going over very well within the community. In the past, Eevee was a part of the random rotation of Pokemon that could be inside the 10-kilometer egg. Now, however, the Pokemon hatches out of a five-kilometer egg.
It takes quite a bit of work to earn a 10-kilometer egg. After hatching it and learning that Eevee was inside, some players ended up being disappointed as it’s a fairly common creature. With the update, it takes half as many steps to possibly hatch an Eevee or another less rare Pokemon on the same egg tier.
