Pokemon Go NEWS: Next BIG Niantic event update will SURPRISE you

POKEMON Go fans are waiting for Gen 2 release date, but latest news reports suggest that Niantic wants to put a new event on the map first.

Pokemon Go fans will be surprised by the next event update

Pokemon Go fans will be shocked to hear about the next big Pokemon Go update.

As fans wait for the release of Gen 2 Pokemon and Legendaries, new reports have suggested that Niantic is planning a special event for April Fools' Day.

According to Slashgear, the new event would see a ton of Magikarp added to the wild.

"The reasons for release on each of the events for Pokemon GO add up to some interesting conclusions. For April Fools' Day, one should look to Pokemon Medals to see what Niantic has up its sleeve," the post reads.

"The Pikachu medal became a LOT easier to attain over the past several weeks of December 2016 when Santa Hat Pikachu was made fairly common."

The Fisherman medal, on the other hand, is extremely difficult to obtain, and would take some players years to get.

It makes sense, therefore, that Niantic would give players a helping hand by making Magikarp more plentiful.

Magikarp are considered fairly useless in the world of Pokemon and are often used as a figure of fun. An abundance of Magikarp would also fit the April Fools' Day theme.

Pokemon Go: Top 10 Gen 2 Pokemon

Pokemon Go's latest update also makes changes to how the GPS tracker works, which means Eggs potentially take longer to hatch.

Pokemon Go currently tracks distance travelled through GPS. This means that players sometimes rack up a few additional steps, even when they're standing still.

The new update changes all that, which means you won't rack up as many bonus steps.

And with the current crop of Gen 2 baby Pokemon only available by hatching eggs, players need all the bonus steps they can get.

Fortunately, this might not be an issue for long, because new moves discovered by data mining the Pokemon Go update may be a sign that new Pokemon are inbound.

The last time Niantic introduced new moves, Pokemon Go fans were treated to the release of Ditto, which was quickly followed by the first Gen 2 Pokemon.

The secrets were uncovered alongside potential new features like Evolution items and shiny Pokemon.

That's on top of a new Pokemon Go newsfeed, as well as more extensive customisation options and new Pokemon Forms.

You can check out the secrets that were data mined by fans by looking through the gallery below:
