Niantic introduces a desired function that will reduce the cost of Candies by opting for an alternative method. We know how it will work.
Niantic does not want to stop introducing new features and improvements to the Pokémon GO gaming experience in 2020. After closing 2019 with its best historical data on revenue, the title opens the new calendar with the expected evolution by exchange, an element present in the Main saga from its origins.
How evolution works by exchange
This new mechanic has a very simple operation: we can evolve a Pokémon by carrying out an exchange, if it is suitable, thus reducing the cost of Candies necessary for its evolution.
Of the more than nine hundred species in the Pokémon universe (in Pokémon GO the first five generations, as of today), only a few evolve by exchange. Now that way of evolving comes to the title of Niantic with the following confirmed names, although there will be more: Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter.
The exchange is retroactively; that is, if we have received one of those Pokémon in an exchange in the past, that Pokémon will not require Candy to be evolved. Other Pokemon from the region of Teselia (Generation V) will benefit from the evolution by exchange, which are the following: Boldore, Gurdurr, Karrablast and Shelmet.
New Teselia Pokémon on the way to Pokémon GO
The regional Pokédex of Teselia, which consists of more than 150 Pokémon, is not yet complete in the iOS and Android title. Soon – without specifying a date – we can find the following families wildly: Roggenrola, Tympole, Dwebble, Trubbish, Karrablast, Joltik, Shelmet …
In addition, through the hatching of Eggs we will comment to be able to find the following Pokémon:
- 2 km eggs: Venipede and Dwebble.
- 5 km eggs: Roggenrola, Tympole, Trubbish, Karrablast, Joltik and Shelmet.
- 10 km eggs: Timburr, Tirtouga, Archen and Axew.
Finally, Timburr will begin to be available in the incursions of a star. You can check the full list of Pokémon that hatch in Eggs 2, 5, 7 and 10 km from this January here. We do not leave without remembering that this January 19, Sunday, is the Community Day of January 2020, which will have Piplup as the main protagonist.
