    Pokemon Go Argentina:

    Trainers,

    The new legendary Pokémon are almost here! From July 22, at 1 PM PDT, you will be able to find new strong Pokémon like Mewtwo and other legendaries of the regions of Kanto and Johto. This new Pokémon will be released for the first time on Pokémon GO Fest, and will be released to the public once the GO Fest Pokémon finishes.

    We have also added new features to enhance your experience.

    Legendary Pokémon: These extremely rare Pokémon will first reach Pokémon GO Fest, in the form of level 5 raids. In order to successfully defeat the legendary Pokémon, you and your friends will have to unite to gain the opportunity to capture the legendary Pokémon Extremely rare. But keep in mind that these Pokémon will be extremely difficult to catch, so be sure to save some extra berries for it!

    Additional Items: There will be additional items added to the game including but not limited to: Master Balls and Golden Pineapple Berries. Most of these items will come as drops and will be extremely rare to defeat the powerful Raid Boss! The new Master Ball will be extremely rare after defeating an Incursion Boss. Using the Master Ball, you will have a guaranteed catch! Use it wisely, since you can not get another one for a long time after!

    Certain drinks can be found by turning the photodisc in Poképaradas. These berries allow you to double the amount of Dust generated by catching a Pokémon. By using Golden Pineapple Berry, you can increase the amount of candy by catching a Pokémon. These berries can be found very little by defeating an Incursion Boss.

    Limited time Pokemon: For a limited time, with sunny days coming, we thought there would be no better time for the party with Squirtle Squad! Squirtles around the world will catch your eye with some new sunglasses! Pokémon will keep their sunglasses on forever, so stay tuned for limited-time Pokémon.

    New Clothes: With the next release of Legendaries just around the corner, there will be some new clothes to choose from! Customize your look with a whole new selection of legendary-themed apparel!

    Pokémon IVs: Once you have evaluated your Pokémon once, you will soon be able to keep track of the rating of your Pokémon! Depending on the evaluation of your Pokémon, your Pokémon will have a red scheme with a not so good evaluation, or green with an incredible evaluation! This environment will remain in your Pokémon forever, so you will not have to evaluate more than once.

    We are sure to bring you more information in the coming weeks.

    We can not wait to see the legendary Pokémon you catch!

    I'm calling B.S. on this one. Hope I'm wrong but that was written pretty poorly and seems like a fake. Plus it's a lot of random announcements in one release which is fairly unlike Niantic.

    it's also not on TheSilphRoad subreddit. if that was real it'd be at the top of that sub in a heartbeat. it's not even at the top of the normal pokemongo subreddit, where the normies post.

    double Rock Golems are easily the best for the birds. moves are either SE or double SE against all, it resists fire+flying, immune to electric. only con is a weakness to Ice. you'll definitely want a couple Rock Throw/Stone Edge Golems.

    Ttar for psychics for sure, though.

    Get 50 coins per day max. You get 50 coins in about 8 hours, after that your guy isn't doing anything but sitting there, if your guy holds multiple days he still only max can give you 50.

    Pokémon GO events around the world!


    [​IMG]
    Trainers,

    Over the next few months, we'll be hosting a number of events taking place around the world in celebration of Pokémon GO's one year anniversary. No matter where you live, you're invited to join in the fun!

    Pokémon GO Fest Chicago

    Pokémon GO Fest (Saturday, July 22 taking place in Grant Park, Chicago, IL) is fast approaching, and we hope you’re all as excited as we are. We wanted to share some details about how Pokémon GO Trainers everywhere can participate in a global challenge with Trainers at the event to unlock special rewards worldwide.

    During the day, there will be three Challenge Windows in which Trainers everywhere will work alongside those in Chicago to unlock global rewards. During the Challenge Windows, Trainers in Grant Park will attempt to unlock perks for Pokémon GO players around the world by catching certain types of Pokémon. Each Pokémon- type will be tied to a different perk, so Trainers at the park will need to carefully choose which Pokémon they catch. Will those in attendance try to catch Electric-type Pokémon to reduce the distance required to hatch Eggs, or Grass-type Pokémon to increase Stardust bonuses, or other Pokémon- types to secure a variety of other bonuses? Join in the action and find out!

    Meanwhile, Trainers outside of Chicago will attempt to catch as many Pokémon as possible during the Challenge Windows to extend the duration of the bonuses unlocked by those attending the event. If Trainers around the world catch enough Pokémon, a mystery challenge will be unveiled in Grant Park that, once completed, will unlock an extra-special bonus across the globe. Trainers everywhere will want to grab their friends and family to help make this the biggest celebration in Pokémon GO’s history!

    UPDATES
    July 18, 2017
    Pokémon GO updated to version 0.69.0 for Android and 1.39.0 for iOS
    Trainers,

    Pokémon GO is in the process of being updated to version 0.69.0 for Android and 1.39.0 for iOS devices. Below are some release notes and comments from our development team.

    • Added icons to the Pokémon information screen to indicate how the Pokémon was caught.
    • Added the ability for Trainers to spin the Photo Disc at a Gym after completing a Raid Battle.
    • Added the ability for Trainers to send Berries to their Pokémon defending Gyms through the Pokémon info screen when they are not nearby. Motivation regained will be less effective through this method.
    • Added the ability for Trainers to give Berries to Pokémon defending Gyms if their motivation meter is full.
    • Improved Pokémon Collection screen search functionality.
    • Fixed an issue where Trainers were unable to complete Raid Battles started before time expired on the map view.
    • Fixed an issue where Pokémon are not properly returned to their Trainer after defending a Gym.
    • Various bug fixes.

    A Legendary first year of Pokémon GO!



    A Legendary first year of Pokémon GO!


    Trainers,

    As part of our ongoing celebration of Pokémon GO’s one-year anniversary, we’re excited to reveal that Legendary Pokémon are nearly here! Soon, millions of Trainers around the world will be able to discover, battle, and catch these extremely rare and very powerful Pokémon.

    As Trainers around the world go out and explore their neighborhoods in search of Pokémon and Raid Battles, they can keep an eye out for unique Legendary Eggs appearing at Gyms. If Trainers and their team are able to successfully defeat a Legendary Raid Boss, they’ll have the opportunity to catch a Legendary Pokémon of their own! While Legendary Pokémon will help them take on the toughest Raid Bosses and Gym Battles, they’re not willing to leave their Trainer’s side, so they can’t be left to defend Gyms.

    On July 22, thousands of Trainers in Grant Park for Pokémon GO Fest and the millions of others around the world will be working together to unlock in-game bonuses for the entire Pokémon GO community. If they manage to catch enough Pokémon during the Pokémon GO Fest Challenge Windows, the first Legendary Pokémon will be revealed in Grant Park. If the Trainers in Chicago succeed in defeating the Legendary Pokémon, that Pokémon will start appearing in Raid Battles around the world, after Pokémon GO Fest.

    Trainers everywhere can tune in to watch the action taking place in Grant Park live and join in the conversation using #PokemonGOFest on social media. Follow the official livestream on Twitch or YouTube for the latest news coming out of Pokémon GO Fest including Challenge Window updates, exclusive interviews, and the reveal of the first Legendary Pokémon!

    It’s time for Trainers everywhere to start powering up their Pokémon for battle because there are many legendary adventures to come!
