Pokémon GO gets over 80 new Pokémon

At long last, Niantic has finally announced that it will be going through with a huge update for Pokémon GO. Within the week, players will be able to add creatures from the Johto compendium to their collection.

Once the update goes through, the new monsters can be found the usual way out in the real world. Along with new faces, the developers have also added some new features:

While catching Pokémon, Trainers can use two new Berries—the Nanab Berry, which slows a Pokémon’s movements, and the Pinap Berry, which doubles the amount of Candy received if the next catch attempt succeeds. Trainers will also be able to customize their avatar’s appearance with a new selection of hats, shirts, pants, and other items. Additional items will be available for purchase from the in-game Pokémon GO shop.
