Data from industry-tracking intelligence firm Sensor Tower sent to GamesBeat indicates that Pokemon GO is currently the top-downloaded app on iPhone in the United States. It managed to reach that spot in less than five hours. Interestingly, that’s one-third of the time it took for the mobile hit Clash Royale to reach the same spot earlier this year.
Sensor Tower also says that Pokemon GO is already the fifth top-grossing iPhone app while outgrossing the Clash Royale and Clash of Clans games. Also, to compare, Miitomo’s highest position was 73 on iPhone’s top-grossing chart.
Pokemon GO is also available in Australia and New Zealand. The app is sitting at the top spot for both downloads and revenue in both countries, for those wondering.

Junichi Masuda is currently holding his “Master Class” panel at Japan Expo in Paris. Other than some minor behind-the-scenes info and development tidbits and some talk about Pokemon Go, Masuda also revealed a brand new Pokemon which can be found in Pokemon Sun & Moon. Check out the trailer for Salandit below:
Salandit is the first ever Poison / Fire type. Its Corrosion ability lets it poison even Steel and Poison types, which are normally immune to that status.
