Pokemon Go is being updated by developer Niantic Labs and trainers will likely enjoy some of the new features.
Niantic, which developed and published the game for Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) (OTCMKTS:NTDOY), said that the new versions of the game are being rolled out for Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android. This will bring iOS players up to version “1.5.0” and Android players up to version “0.35.0.”
The new update for Pokemon Go includes the ability for trainers to see the detailed stats, such as Attack and Defense, of their Pokemon. This new stat appraisal feature can be accessed by talking Candela, Blanche or Spark. These are the leaders for Team Valor, Team Mystic and Team Instinct, respectively.
Pokemon Go has also been updated to include different spawning nests for players. This means that players will start seeing different Pokemon show up than before. This doesn’t affect common Pokemon, but instead switches around the rare ones.
This change has occurred before and it is designed to keep players interested in the game. It also helps them fill out their Pokedex with entries that might not have shown up in their areas before the update, reports Forbes.
The Silph Road, a Pokemon Go community on Reddit, has done a great job at tracking the changes in the game. You can check out their breakdown of the newest update and spawning nest changes here.
Another change that was made by Niantic Labs to Pokemon Go has to do with bots. The developer doesn’t give details about the change, but noted that it only includes “minor” fixes.
