Pokémon Go updates: What’s new and what’s next for March 2018

Pokémon Go launched in the summer of 2016 and has been updated regularly ever since. In 2017, we have gotten Gen 2, Raid battles, the new gyms, the first 2 generation of legendary Pokémon and the beginning of Gen 3.

Updates:

A whole new species has been discovered in the APK this round: Spinda..

An exciting clue has appeared in the Metadata that points to a special handling of the panda-mon. 8 variants have been added to the species dictionary.

In addition to the improvement to sky Attack, they also found another new and interesting move:

But in a surprise addition, another move has also appeared: Weather Ball

This is a signature move of Castform- and its a bit of a special case as well. Weather ball is a normal type move, but will Change its type depending on the weather.

Looks like there will be Fire, ice, rock and water typing like tying into clear snow and Rainy weather Patterns.

There will also be a tool to submit the points of interest that powers POKESTOPS in Pokémon Go and portals In ingress.

There’s no indication yet whether this feature will ever be enabled in Pokémon Go, or if this is simply a new niantic platform tool.

Pokémon Go pulls from niantic other location based game, ingress. Having submission directly in Pokémon go  though would really  help fill out the dead zones that many suburban and rural players have to contend with.
