More Sinnoh Pokemon added to Pokemon Go, Raid Battle changes coming

Niantic has announced a new batch of Pokemon from the Sinnoh region have been added to Pokemon Go (they should be live shortly). The image shows Ambipom, Tangrowth, Gallade, Lickilicky, Mamoswine and Yanmega which apart from Mamoswine are in the game right now. All of these Pokemon need a Sinnoh Stone to evolve. Mime Jr., Happiny and Bonsly also appear in the image, we’re not sure how you get them just yet.

It’s not just all babies and evolutions either, Cranidos, Shieldon, Glameow and Combee are all now appearing in the wild as well.

Some small changes to Raid Battles are coming as well, Pokemon will now be tougher to beat;

There are also some big changes coming! You may notice that Pokémon that appear in Raid Battles are more powerful and sturdy when you challenge them. Plus, some moves that certain Pokémon know may be stronger or weaker when used in battle. Finally, certain Pokémon may be able to learn new moves via TM that will help them perform in battle, such as Machamp now being able to know the Rock-type move Rock Slide!

All of these changes should be either live now, or shortly.
