All Pok\u00e9mon from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn &#8211; the first three generations &#8211; have been affected by the change, with almost all characters&#8217; HP and defence stats seeing a decent boost. If you load up your app, you&#8217;ll likely notice that this has had a significant effect on the overall CP of your strongest &#8216;mon, with numbers shooting up in the hundreds.<\/p>\n<p>New Pok\u00e9mon have also arrived in the app, with a new &#8216;Hatchathon&#8217; egg event running alongside it to help players in their quest to snag them. From now until 27th November, some Pok\u00e9mon with evolved forms originally discovered in the Sinnoh region &#8211; such as Rhyhorn, Porygon, and Magby &#8211; will be present in 2 km eggs and, if you&#8217;re lucky, you might even hatch a shiny Elekid.<\/p>\n<p>This is to support the inclusion of Rhyperior, Electivire, Magmortar, Togekiss, Mismagius, Honckrow, Weavile, Dusknoir, Roserade, Gliscor, and Porygon-Z, all of which are now live and require both 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone to evolve.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Hatch\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c24498b610295\/hatch.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c24498b610295\/hatch.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Hatch\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Elsewhere, fans eagerly anticipating tomorrow&#8217;s release of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_lets_go_pikachu_and_lets_go_eevee\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go, Pikachu! and Let&#8217;s Go, Eevee!<\/strong><\/a> might be interested to know that the update has brought with it a new setting to connect your Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus controller to the app. We knew this would be coming, of course, but if you&#8217;re struggling to contain your excitement, you can now gaze at that menu setting and dream about transferring your critters over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><em>Will you be working towards getting these new Pok\u00e9mon in your game?
