Pokémon GO
When the first Pokémon from the Hoenn region were added to Pokémon GO, a few weeks ago, Niantic specified that they would not all be added at the same time. Instead, they would start appearing in waves, and the latest one went live yesterday.
There’s now 23 more Pokémon from the Hoenn region to catch in Pokémon GO: Anorith, Armaldo, Lileep, Cradily, Baltoy, Claydol, Cacnea, Cacturne, Aron, Lairon, Aggron (as a Raid Boss), Trapinch, Vibrava, Flygon, Whismur, Loudred, Exploud, Numel, Camerupt, Nosepass, Solrock, and Lunatone.
Speaking of Pokémon from the Hoenn region, a special event is currently running: for a limited time, every egg you hatch will contain one!
