Pokemon Go is one of the most popular mobile games, and it is still running strong after three years. The credit for the success goes to Niantic for introducing interesting in-game events for players from time to time.
Pokemon in Pokemon Go requires a significant amount of Stardust and candies for evolving. There are many different ways to obtain Candy in Pokemon Go – By transferring Pokémon to Professor Willow, by catching more Pokemon, by hatching eggs, trading, walking with your Buddy Pokemon and use of Pinap and Silver Berry.
Some Pokemon like Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey requires 12 Candy for evolving whereas Dragonair, Wartortle, Haunter require 100 candies. However, Magikarp requires 400 Candy to evolve into Gyarados. Well, Pokemon Go data miner has leaked a new way for evolving Pokemon.
According to the leaked data mined files, Pokemon will also evolve by trading. This leaked data has been dubbed as Trade Evolution Options. The new method evolution description has been described in the following manner.
“If this Pokemon is received through a trade, it can be evolved without using candy.”
“(X) received through trades does not require any Candy to evolve.”
It is not yet clear how many Pokemon will become a part of this new evolution system. It could also be possible that this new trading evolution system may only be applicable to the upcoming Generation 5 (Unova region Pokemon).
Starting on September 16, Generation 5 Pokemon will mark their entry into the game for the first time. Chrales has also leaked the details of the upcoming 63 Unova region Pokemon, along with their shiny forms. He has also leaked details about the forthcoming ‘Sinnoh stone’ which will help to evolve some Gen 5 Pokemon.
The description of the Sinnoh Stone reads the following: “A rare stone that originates from Unova region that can make certain species of Pokemon evolve. It is known for its intertwined black and white appearance.”
Along with the new trading evolutions feature, Chrales has also leaked details regarding World Tourism Day. According to the leaked data, new quests will be added to the game on account of World Tourism Day, which is coming on Friday, September 27.
It is not clear whether these quests will be a part of special research or not. The list of quests for the upcoming Pokemon Go World Tourism Day has been mentioned below.
- Make a new friend
- Send [x] Gifts to friends
- Trade Pokemon caught [x] km apart
However, all these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt; it has not been confirmed by Niantic yet. Pokemon Go Ultra Bonus event Week 1 is live in the game. You can find more details regarding the event by heading here.
