Trainers,

Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can’t wait to see what Pokémon you’ve hatched!

We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you’ll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu.

—The Pokémon GO team

If it's, say, a 95% IV santa pickachu, I will evolve into santa raichu and use all me stardust to feed till full! ...Cos it'll be the only santa pikachu fighting full strength in the gyms! 

[Coolbriz]

Aiya, I only got a 91% IV santa-Chu. if not can proudly flaunt ifo of @Cube3  

anyway, caught 2 perfect dratini at the same area near Bedok res pk 2 days ago. Need more candies to evolve them to Dragonite though. Hope I can get good moveset for gym def/attk! 

[MeowPrince]

@Coolbriz  so good.  Every perfect dratini I ever caught gave me twister, its almost like a curse.  My good dragonites are all from 90ish% Dragonairs/Dratinis.

 

@Cube3 heheh, my 1st evolve was derided as fake/impossible on PoGoSg FB, just because I happened to have a stock of pika candies.  My 2nd festive-raichu was last night, after catching 10 more pikas (and walking buddy) was 97%!  Contented.  No going to power them up.

 

Now, am just waiting my new eggs to hatch, all freshly acquired yesterday afternoon.

Hmmm... think is only ~91%, am deliberating whether to evolve or not cos its prolly as rare as a 100% lol... like my 42cp Snorlax...  and my ~200cp Dragonair. Niantic likes to troll me.

[Guest Santachu]

 

[Coolbriz]

Yup, so sad.  I have not caught enough seel yet.. now it's full of Fire!

Oooh, thank you! Interesting....

[Cube3]

I've hatched 8 eggs since Pokemon II started...and not a single new poke! That's 8 X 5km!

[AlVinyl]

Same, I've hatched like 5 5km and 6 2km eggs, none of the new ones T.T

I hope trading comes on soon, got alot of chanseys ready to trade away

[MeowPrince]

I only got Pichu, unexpectedly from a 5km egg, on Wed.  After that, my 10km gave me Lapras, Chansey, Hitmonlee and Pinsir.
I know this auntie, with a single incubator, already hatched togepi, magby and igglybuff.

Doesn't happen to me though, they are still hidden for me on sgpokemap O.o

[SwimSwim]

No festive pikachu near central  only tons of random spawns of slowpokes and eevees ~

Damn super irritating, standing right at the bottom of the gym, fight until last defender and the damn avatar keeps wandering away out of range, made me lose the spot.

Yes it does happen, yes it's annoying. I gave up once when I wasted resources to secure a gym and I kept encountering error thereafter. What to do, it's just not my day lol. Anyway, how many eggs did you guys hatch into gen2 babies? I only got 1 Igglybuff out of 2km egg. The rest of the 5km eggs are just ordinary pokemons. What I love to do is to put the baby in gym so that any player clicking into the gym will expand their pokedex slots. Yay!

Yep, some gyms more prone to GPS drift than others, it seems e.g. Telok Ayer MRT gym, Tong Ji Hospital gym...and some days worse than others. I wonder if there's some tech cheat that makes it tougher to attack gym using some kinda hack, say, when their own poke is defending. Gives them more time to grab other gyms and claim more coins...?

 

Is there...such an app?

haha i still got no new ones ... hence making me all the more not interested in the game, been playing less and less, only clocking daily bonus and sometimes chalking miles for egg. Batt drain is enormous plus too much grind for too little, really putting me off the game.

Me too! I've hatched like ten 5km eggs and nothing...Really exasperating!

[Coolbriz]

Some stats given online:

10km eggs: average 12 (Magby); 13 (Elekid); 19 (Smoochum)

5km eggs:   Average 40 (Pichu); 125 (Togepi)

2km eggs:   average 21 (Cleffa); 13 (Igglybuff)

 

so @Cube3, you still need to hatch 30 more to get something  

[MeowPrince]

Waah.  Then the elderly auntie across the street from me must be darned lucky.  She hatched 9 assorted eggs so far and got 6 of the new babies.

To date I've only got Pichu, BF only had Magby and Cleffa.   :'(

Serious?!!! What's the use of all these babies (admittedly they are cute, but soooo much work!) Are they useful in the gym, or can evolve into pokes with special powers...? * Sniff *

No idea man. But like you said, they are just too adorable to resist. Anyway, latest update fixed the excessive vibration.

Yah, I just want my Pokédex entry that's all but not my luck. I'll just wait until they are available in a manner that I can possibly attain instead of relying on luck on the eggs.

Haha lucky I find them cute and thus there are still play values and motivation to keep up with the game.

Pokémon Go arrives on the Apple Watch

Next Story

Following an erroneous report claiming that Niantic’s plans to bring Pokémon Go to the Apple Watch were canceled, the company today put those rumors to rest with more than a mere statement: it has now launched the Apple Watch version of its popular game. The new smartwatch app lets you more easily play Pokémon without having to always pull out your phone. Instead, you can tap to find nearby Pokémon, collect items from PokéStops, and even log your gameplay as a “workout.”

The AR and GPS-powered game, which has been downloaded 600 million times as of November, offers a unique combination of gameplay and physical activity that makes sense for a platform like the Apple Watch.

The new app will take advantage of the watch’s fitness-tracking capabilities, as gameplay counts toward your personal Activity rings. In addition, your Apple Watch sessions will count toward hatching your Pokémon Eggs, too, as well as receiving Candy with your Buddy Pokémon.

Regular Pokémon Go players get a lot of exercise, of course. The company recently announced that trainers have walked more than 8.7 billion kilometers in their quest to capture 88 billion Pokémon to date. That’s the equivalent of 200,000 trips around the world, Niantic said.

The new game could encourage people to get out and walk even more.

In addition to fitness tracking, Pokémon Go will also tie into the Apple Watch’s ability to push notifications to your wrist. The app will send alerts about a variety of important events, including when there are nearby Pokémon to catch, when you’re near a PokéStop, when your Eggs hatch, and when medals are awarded, says Niantic.

However, when it comes time to actually catch the Pokémon, you’ll still need to break out your iPhone.

 

The launch of the Apple Watch app comes shortly after the smartphone app was updated with a number of new features, including the ability to hatch new Pokémon characters originally from the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games, the addition of Ditto, as well as the ability to catch the special edition Pikachu that’s wearing a festive holiday hat.

The company has also been steadily upgrading standard features like the tracker, while collaborating with big brands like Starbucks to serve as destinations for Gyms and PokéStops.

However, many of Pokémon Go’s moves as of late have focused on re-engaging lapsed users, too – like the in-game event over Halloween, for example, or the daily bonuses.

Launching on the Apple Watch may give these more casual players a reason to return, as the initial hype around the record-breaking game begins to wear off.

Niantic had first announced there would be an Apple Watch app at Apple’s September event, and just this week, its code was found to have references to Apple Watch features. However, some have been concerned whether the company would meet its earlier stated deadline of reaching the Apple Watch before year-end.

The app is rolling out now in all markets where Pokémon Go is available.

[Coolbriz]

Pretty cool to pogo on Apple Watch. Unfortunately, Apple Watch 2 is some how out of stock for the model I wanted.. 

[AlVinyl]

Ooo that looks cool, much better than the pokemon go plus anyway. Unfortunately I'm using android

Trainers,

As the year draws to a close, we want to give you a great way to celebrate the end of the year with Pokémon GO. For the next couple of weeks, you’ll have even more reason to explore the world with your friends and family while you enjoy our year-end event.

Don’t miss out on an increased chance to hatch a Togepi (and other Pokémon)! Starting the morning of December 25, 2016, and through the afternoon of January 3, 2017 (PST), PokéStops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin. As you visit PokéStops during this time period, there will be a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and several other recently found Pokémon, originally discovered in the Johto region. Special Pikachu wearing festive hats will also be staying around a bit longer! You are more likely to find these limited-edition Pikachu during the time period of this celebration.

In addition, from the afternoon of December 30, 2016, through the afternoon of January 8, 2017 (PST), the first partner Pokémon and their Evolutions, originally discovered in the Kanto region, are more likely to be encountered. This means a greater chance to catch Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, as well as Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, plus Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise! As a way to increase your chance to encounter one of these Pokémon, Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.

Get up and go!

—The Pokémon GO team
