Pokémon GO Update Allows Players To View The Number Of People Entering A Raid And More
Pokémon GO has updated to Version 0.73.1 for Android and 1.43.1 for iOS.
This new update adds some much needed features like letting players see the number of trainers who have entered or are preparing for a Raid battle. Here's a full list of the changes for the latest update:
- Added the ability for Trainers to spin the Photo Disc at a Gym using the Pokémon GO Plus accessory.
- Added the ability to view the number of Trainers entered, and preparing, for a Raid Battle before using a Raid Pass.
- Improved Pokémon Collection screen search functionality by allowing Trainers to search through their Pokémon’s moves using the @ character.
- Resolved a bug which caused the Raid Boss to always break free from the last Premier Ball.
- Resolved a bug that prevented Trainers from seeing they’d received double XP from Raid Battles when using a Lucky Egg.
The change log also mentions various bug fixes that went unnamed.
After the Pokémon GO fan festival in July, Niantic has been trying to earn fans back with multiple fixes to the game. The raid issue is a big one for players and many are grateful that it is finally getting fixed.
