Nieuwe Pokémon op weg naar Pokémon GO

Niantic laat weten dat binnenkort weer heel wat nieuwe Pokémon zullen opduiken in Pokémon GO. Het gaat om Pokémon die oorspronkelijk in de Sinnoh regio zijn verschenen. Ter voorbereiding van hun komst wordt in de komende weken wel eerst nog wat gesleuteld aan de balans van de game.

Changes to Pokémon Migration and Behavior 
As you explore the world of Pokémon GO, the following changes will affect the Pokémon that appear around you:

• We are making adjustments to weather and, moving forward, it will have a reduced effect on the rate at which Pokémon appear.
• As you explore a given area, you will notice that a greater variety of Pokémon species will appear over time and at different rates.
• Certain areas, such as parks and nature reserves, will now contain more varied Pokémon species.

Changes to Pokémon Effectiveness in Battle 
We also wanted to use this opportunity to rebalance in-game battle mechanics. You may notice some of the following changes in the coming weeks:

• CP values will be adjusted going forward to improve game balance.
• HP values will be adjusted to close the gap between high HP Pokémon and low HP Pokémon.
• Pokémon Defense and Stamina values will be retroactively rebalanced, allowing highly defensive Pokémon to be valuable in battle by outlasting opponents rather than simply running out the clock.
• Defense values have also been slightly retroactively reduced for most Pokémon. Changes like these will help narrow the gap between Pokémon with the highest defensive stats and other Pokémon.
