"Gen 2 release - centralized facts"


#PokemonGO: There's a lot of threads about every single change brought by the gen 2 update, so to keep things clear I'll try to centralize the informations here and will edit the post as new information comes along.StatsMovesetsGen 1 movesets have been rebalanced. Some moves like Hyper Beam got their damage upped from 120 to 150. Dragon Claw became a 3-bar move. Some quick moves like Dragon Breath or Water Gun are much slower than before. Dragon Breath is only a little bit faster then Steel Wing now (retroactive change). Also, all moves are 1,2 or 3 bar now, there isn't 4 or 5 bar moves anymore. the dreaded Twister is now a 3-bar move (retroactive change).  More details will be revealed by the game master analysis :http://ift.tt/2lZwdXE the analysis is complete, this thread reports what has been noticed by users :http://ift.tt/2lRiWo1 caught gen 1 pokemon can have new moves too, like Iron Tail on Dratini. Evolving an already owned gen 1 pokemon can also result in a new moveset, like getting a Dragon Rage/Outrage Gyarados from your old Magikarp.Note: don't transfer any gen 1 pokemon until we know for sure whether they can still get all the former movesets or if some movesets have become legacy movesets.edit: a movelist has been postedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/5ujflu/readable_move_info_from_new_game_master/Alakazam can't get Psychic anymore, it's now a legacy move.Dragonite can't get Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw/Dragon Pulse anymore.PokemonLegacy Quick moveLegacy Charge moveParasectBug BiteArcanineBiteBulldoze, FlamethrowerAlakazamPsychicExeggutorZen Headbutt, ConfusionTangelaPower WhipStarmieTackleGyaradosTwister, Dragon PulseLaprasIce ShardDragon PulseFlareonHeat waveSnorlaxBody SlamDragoniteDragon BreathDragon Pulse , Dragon Claw(ongoign, checking the meta ones first)   CPLapras as been nerfed. Mine went from 2834CP to 2470CP. We knew that Lapras had been left untouched by the end of november stat rebalance and that the new conversion formula was supposed to nerf him. He unfortunately got this overdue change.Other pokemon CP seem untouched.  SpawnsNestsGen 1 nests are currently disabled. They have been replaced by a variety of gen 1-2 pokemon.It rather seem that some nests were disabled, some other became gen 2 pokemon nests, other turned into gen 1 pokemon nests, so it's more a standard nest migration.There was also a spawn point reshuffle (location/time), as it usually happens when Niantic touches nests.  DittoDitto has been reported to come out of some gen 2 pokemon. Hoothoot and Sentret seem confirmed so far.http://ift.tt/2lRnOcX, Togepi, babiesTogetic confirmed to spawn in the wild. Babies are also out there.http://ift.tt/2lZwt8W catch bonusYou get a 50XP bonus if you catch a pokemon in only one throw. Completely missing the pokemon with your first ball still counts as a throw, so no bonus in that case.  Critical catchCritical catches have been implemented.  New pokemon movement on catch screenPokemon move in new ways during the catch sequence. Ledyba will move in a "V" motion, while Qwilfish will move sideways form left to right, with their catch circles following them. Other users in this same thread also report new movements for gen 1 pokemon like Venonat or Abra.  BerriesYou can only use 1 berry at a time on a pokemon. So no, you can't use a razz + a nanab on a pokemon.  Candies/EvolutionsCandiesYou can now get 5 candies when catching a stage 1 evolution. 10 candies for a stage 2 evolution.Hitmon candies have been unified into Tyorgue candies.  Buddy candiesBuddy candies distances have been updated. Gloom reported as 1 (a bug apparently, Gloom got reverted to 3). Togepi distance still changed from 5km to 3km.http://ift.tt/2lRpTpa itemsEvolution items are required for some evolutions such as Scyther->Scyzor (Metal coat). Evolution items come out of pokestops and are consumed once used. For pokemon with branched evolutions such as Slowpoke or Gloom, you get 2 evolution buttons, allowing you to choose with one you want. Eevees only have one button.Candies costs and items required :http://ift.tt/2lZydiv / EspeonNaming a Eevee Sakura will give an Espeon on evolution. Tamao will give Umbreon. This time we know better than at the Rainer/Sparky/Pyro time, so use your 1-use name wisely on a high IV pokemon.Nobody has managed to get an Umbreon/Espeon through the normal evolution process yet (no nickname). Might have some hidden condition (or a bug).  Other changesMedalsThe Johto medal and Delinquent medal (Dark type) have been added.  RegionalsNo exclusive regional confirmed yet.  EggsGen 2 pokemon have been added to the egg pool.  Level up bonusesX15 Nanab berries at level 31, X20 Nanab Berry at level 35. Probably changed for all levels.  Fainted pokemonFainted pokemon have all been revived.  Buyable itemsAs expected with the new avatar customization options implemented, you can now buy additional clothes in the shop. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2kE5j6o
