Where has Giovanni gone? We hope he’s not planning something in the shadows! Be sure to keep an eye out for updates throughout the season. Super Rocket Radars won’t be able to track down Giovanni during this time, so no need to keep them equipped.
Evolution Preview Feature Incoming
- In a huge move for Pokemon GO players who love to battle, Niantic will soon be implementing a system that allows them to see what their Pokemon's CP will be after evolution. In addition, the feature will present trainers with what PvP battle leagues the Pokemon can qualify for. For players hoping to keep certain Pokemon in contention for lower CP leagues such as Great League, this feature should provide incredibly helpful insight into Pokemon evolution.
