[Pokemon GO] Gen3 update! All you need to know

in #gaming7 years ago

Generation is finally here!

It has been a looong time since last generation update and with current pool of things to do tightening we are glad to announce the big news.
Of course there were legendary raids which is awesome, but lets face it.. running around hoping you will have enough numbers to take one down in cold weather gets old real fast.

What will we be talking about in this article

Obviously i cant (or wont?) cover every single thing in the update such as new baby pokemon because it would take too long (also i find them to be insignificant pokedex fillers). Wouldnt want to bore you to death now would I ?

  1. Weather update
  2. New pokemon groups
  3. Top 3 from Gen 3

Weather update - What to expect?

Amazing new feature in pokemon go - weather. One migt wonder what is so special about having weather in game right? but its not as simple is it looks.
Change of weather will have different boosts and buffs incorporated for different pokemon types. Here they are:

  • Increased spawn rate
  • Higher IV/CP Values
  • Bonus 25% Stardust
  • Bonus 20% Damage for moves base on current weather
  • Pokemon spawns affected by the weather can exceed the level 30 cap!! (up to 35lvl)

Isnt this just amazing? yeasterday i caught abra 35lvl and for just 125 candy i have a beastly machamp killer..

Here you can read about different weathers and pokemon types:
 Clear:     GRASS – GROUND – FIRE
 Rain:      WATER – ELECTRIC – BUG
 Windy:     DRAGON – FLYING – PSYCHIC
 Snow:      ICE – STEEL
 Fog:       DARK – GHOST

#New Pokemon groups
I find it important to cover this topic as people started using these new words and some migt still wonder what they are. With generation 3 new pokemon groups started emerging and here is what pokemon fit there:

  1. Legendary pokemon
    Just like every other generation, this one has them too..
  • Rayquaza
  • Groudon
  • Kyogre
  • Latios
  • Latias
  1. Legendary titans of Hoenn
    Legendary titans introduced in generation 3 (ICE - STEEL - ROCK atributes)
  • Regice
  • Registeel
  • Regirock
  1. Mythical
    New group that is even rarer then legendary pokemon.
  • Jirachi
  • Deoxys

Top 3 from gen 3

No comment needed, those 3 are best non-legendary pokemon from generation 3. Keep in mind that this opinion is mine only and is based on ingame stats. If your opinion differs, feel free to leave a comment :-)

  1. Metagross
    Finnaly a good steel type pokemon. Cant wait to evolve this beast with whopping 3637 CP

  2. Slaking
    This could arguably be on the first place due to its crazy stats, but its fast attack is just too useless

  3. Salamence
    Another dragon beast that will be seen everywhere. Dragons rule

Hope you enjoyed this sumup of last update
Thanks for reading
