All good issues should come to an finish. No, Pokemon Go isn’t going anyplace, however after scoring some wins with the group, Niantic has tripped up once more with communication issues referring to its newest patch.
In a current secret raid overhaul, gamers found that Niantic had modified some core elements of the raid expertise, with none warning. In brief, bosses generate power otherwise however predictably, and that may technically make raids simpler, which was why some sport researchers went about making an attempt to determine what modified. Nevertheless, participant transfer timing was rounded up or right down to the closest half-second, nerfing some long-time energy strikes like Counter and Lock-On. This has successfully nerfed many pokemon who have been on the prime of raid lists for years – all with no official warning or rationalization.

We’ll see what occurs at launch, however thus far, our season round-up noting this function was solely perhaps price hyping appears to be holding true.
To date, the system additionally appears walled off from the remainder of the sport and is supposedly start line to leap into the sport, whether or not it’s price recommending stays to be seen. Whereas gamers could also be beginning on the identical footing, there are simply too many unknown components and numerous dangerous indicators just like the Mega Evolution system previous to the primary of a number of overhauls that counsel we must always already anticipate a 2.0 of the brand new function within the close to future.
