Pokemon Go UPDATE makes SECRET change that transforms game

POKEMON Go developer Niantic appears to have made a big change to the way eggs are hatched as part of the Valentine's event update.

Pokemon Go egg hatching has been revamped as part of the new update

Pokemon Go fans have discovered a secret new feature as part of the new Valentine's event update.

As part of the latest event, Pokemon Go players will receive double the amount of Candy every time players hatch, catch and transfer Pokemon; Lure modules will also last a whopping 6 hours and Pink Pokemon will appear in the wild more often.

But that's not all…

According to Forbes, the new Pokemon Go update also changes the whole egg hatching dynamic, which makes it easier to catch certain 5km and 10km Pokemon.

Pokemon such as Abra, Bellsprout, Cubone, Diglett, Ekans, Exeggecute, Ghastly, Goldeen, Krabby, Machop, Nidoran (both), Oddish, Seel, Slowpoke, Venonat and Voltorb are now in the 2km category, while Pinsir and Scyther have moved from 10km to 5km.

Reducing the Pokemon found in the 5km and 10km tiers makes it more likely that you'll spawn a rarity, although the extra 2km Pokemon make it even more of a lottery at the lower levels.

Pokemon Go Valentine's event

According to an official Niantic statement, Pokemon like Chansey, Clefable, Porygon will be more plentiful, while Pokemon like Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will have a higher chance of hatching from Eggs.

"With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we couldn’t think of a sweeter time to double the amount of Candy you’ll earn every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokémon," reads a Niantic blog post.

"Your Buddy Pokémon is also getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit and will find Candy twice as fast!

"Throughout the celebration, you’ll notice that Chansey, Clefable, and many other adorable pink Pokémon will be encountered more frequently in the wild. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will also be more likely to hatch from Eggs.

"And to help you paint your town pink this Valentine’s Day, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire duration of the event."

The Valentine's event hasn't gone down well with all fans, many of whom were hoping for the release of Gen 2 Pokemon.

However, Pokemon Go dataminers have discovered evidence of big new features to come, including new moves, Pokemon, Evolution stones and customisation items. The full list can be found below…

This is the list of features the Pokemon Go Hub have found:

  • 100 new Pokemon, 38 new moves
  • Evolution Stones and Split Evolution support
  • New avatar customisation options
  • New ways to unlock avatar swag
  • support for Shiny Pokémon
  • support for Pokémon genders
  • support for various Bluetooth devices
  • new Badges and new catch mechanics (Critical Catch)
  • 7 new sponsors
  • support for In App Avatar purchases
