80+ new 2nd generation Pokemon are now available in Pokemon GO

Just over 80 new 2nd generation Pokemon, along with some other goodies, were datamined out of the game files once again and previewed to the public yesterday. However, just after news of that broke out, Niantic Labs pushed out an update making those 80 new Pokemon (from the Johto region) available for players.

However, the new Pokemon are not the only things showing up with the new update. Pokemon now have gender specific variations available, meaning you can catch both a male and female version of some of the Pokemon. Encounters with Pokemon, where you try to catch them, will be getting a bit easier thanks to the addition of two new types of berries to use on them to improve you capture chances.

  • Over 80 additional Pokemon originally discovered in the Johto region can be caught.
