Pokemon Go is forcing an update to its player base and is intended to bring some amazing cool feature.Pokemon Go forced update are seen to bring major changes in the game.Recently Pokemon GO iOS players were forced to update PokemonGO to keep playing the game. As the history of Pokemon GO suggests force update always brings big events and new things. Whenever players are forced to update PokemonGO it’s usually a big change coming.
Pokemon GO has received a few updates to the game this week, prompting some fans to believe some rather significant changes are on the way.Firstly, in-game maps appear to have changed in some regions. Previously, Niantic had relied on Google Map data to build its in-game world.
That appears to be shifting, however, as more and more users report the game now using OpenStreetMap data instead.The Pokemon GO Reddit page over at r/TheSilphRoad has noted that more and more regions are using OpenStreetMap data instead of Google Maps.
The reason behind this change is unclear, but it seems the OSM data is easier for Niantic to extrapolate data.The good news for players is that OSM data is also pretty open, meaning tools for locating nests and finding rare Pokemon will be more widely available if the company does fully migrate to the service over Google Maps.
However, with it now being December and the Travel Event over, fans are rightfully wondering when (and not if) Niantic will drop their next big winter event.Earlier this year Niantic brought back their Halloween event for a second year but with the addition of some new Hoenn region Gen 3 Ghost Pokemon.
During that event, Niantic confirmed that the rest of the Pokémon first seen in the Pokemon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire games would start arriving in December.So understandably, Trainers are now preparing for the launch of new Gen 3 Pokemon along with the next event.
For those who don’t recall, last December, Niantic had TWO special events and updates. The first consisted of new baby Pokemon who could be hatched alongside a new Santa Hat Pikachu. This was then followed by a more standard 2x XP/Stardust bonus towards the back end of December.Realistically what can players expect from Niantic in December?
Well, if they only added baby Pokemon, there’s only two from Gen 3, that’s Azurill (Marill > Azumarill) and Wynaut who evolves into Wobbuffet. Which as additions go, is pretty paltry.So could we get more? If anything you’d have to bet on Ice Pokemon. We doubt Water types will be involved, as there’s simply too many. But Ice, well that’s a smaller number, befitting the slow rollout Niantic seem to be going for.
In addition, they could (and this is wild speculation) add a new Gen 3 Legendary, in the form of Regice, one of the Hoenn region’s three Legendary Golems.With the games Gen 2 Legendary Beasts having left the game and new Legendary addition Ho-Oh only available until December 12, it could be the perfect time to introduce the start of some new Legendary Raid Pokemon.
For those interested, the two further Legendary Gen 3 Golems from the game were Registeel and Regirock.As previously mentioned, these possible Gen 3 additions could arrive on the back of Niantic’s surprise Ho-Oh reveal earlier this week.As an extra reward for the players who caught over 3 billion Pokemon during the Global Catch Challenge, Ho-Oh is now appearing in Raid Battles at Gyms.
The CP for the Ho-Oh raid boss is 48276 and as you might expect it’s not possible to solo the Legendary bird and we’d advise you take it on with at least 6-7 fellow trainers in order to take it down.Once captured it can have a maximum capture CP of 2222, at Level 20, with a perfect IV score.To make your newest raid challenge that little bit easier we’ve put together a guide to battling Ho-Oh, with details about his respective weaknesses and the best counters to use in battle.
In addition, we’ve run through Ho-Oh’s best movesets and some additional counters if you don’t have one of the recommended six.Ho-Oh Raid CountersRaikou is a Fire and Flying-type Pokemon and as such it’s best countered with a number of Ground, Water and Electric Pokmon.As trainers might well know from the above weaknesses listed, Rock types are your best bet against Ho-Oh as they are twice as effective.
Omastar and Golem stand out as the two best Pokemon, but short of using those two, its also worth considering Tyranitar with Stone Edge, Raikou, Zapdos, and Vaporeon. Obviously always opting for those with ground moves first.As mentioned, Ho-Oh is a pure Fire and Flying-type Pokemon and this is also reflected in the move sets, the best of which are marked in bold and italicised below:
• Steel Wing (Quick Attack) – STEEL
• Extrasensory (Quick Attack) – PSYCHIC
• Brave Bird (Charge Attack) – FLYING
• Fire Blast (Charge Attack) – FIRE
• Solar Beam (Charge Attack) – GRASS
As we can clearly see Niantic is actively expanding the Pokemon GO development team to build many more amazing updates in 2018.“Stay tuned for news next week about upcoming improvements to certain features.” and as a trainer, I hope we get something much better than a global event.What are your thoughts?Lemme hear you guys out in the comments or you can get connected with me on Snapchat-Vibsz16 and Instagram. Stay tuned.
Here is the list of Top 10 Gen 3 Pokemon That Are As Strong As Legendary Pokemon, and can help any player to capture and attack gyms.
Number 10 – Milotic
MAX CP- 2542
ATTACK – 60
DEFENSE – 79
STAMINA – 190
Milotic is an aquatic, serpentine Pokémon with a primarily cream-colored body. It has red eyes with long, pinkish antennae above them. Additionally, there are long, hair-like fins above its eyes, which begin thin and thicken towards the tips. These eyebrows extend to almost half of Milotic’s body length and will be longer on the female than the male. On top of its relatively small head is a straight spike. The tail consists of four large, blue fins with pink ovals in their centers. Each of the tail fins overlaps the next slightly, causing it to resemble a fan. While it has not been depicted, Milotic’s scales are said to change color depending on the viewing angle.
Number 9 – Flygon
MAX CP- 2458
ATTACK – 100
DEFENSE – 80
STAMINA – 160
Flygon resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedal dragon. It is primarily light green and has a pair of large rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs, and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Its tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. It has large eyes and a pair of green antennae that point back. The eyes have red covers that prevent sand from getting into its eyes. With its wings, it kicks up sandstorms to hide. Its wings make a “singing” sound when they are flapped, earning Flygon the name “The Desert Spirit”. It lives in the desert.
Number 8 – Gardevoir
MAX CP- 2341
ATTACK – 65
DEFENSE – 65
STAMINA – 136
Beginning its life as Ralts (the Pokemon that kinda looks like male genitalia), it’s a little surprising it turns into Gardevoir – who looks a lot like some kind of elegant dancer (and a lot of other things, if you dare to venture into Google Image Search – which reminds us: NEVER GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH ANY POKEMON EVER BUT ESPECIALLY NOT GARDEVOIR). Apart from its traumatic internet legacy, it’s a pretty solid Pokemon (now one of the added Fairy-types), and its Pokedex entries indicate that it would do anything to protect its trainer. Always nice to know your Pokemon has Stockholm’s Syndrome.
Number 7 –….
