New Hoenn Pokémon Arrive In Pokémon GO
A number of rock and ground-type Pokémon headline the latest Pokémon GO update, which brings in more Pokémon from the Hoenn region to the augmented reality game.
The new Pokemon include the sun-themed and moon-themed Solrock and Lunatone, which confusingly have nothing to do with Pokémon Sun and Moon. Other new Pokémon include Aggron, Trapinch, Nosepass, and Camerupt, it's basically a Team Magma dream come true.
All-in-all, Niantic says 23 new Pokémon were added in today's update, but they have kept mum as to exactly which ones. Put on your best Gary Oak outfit and go out there and discover the list.
Our Take
I have a particular fondness for Hoenn because generation 3 hit the nexus between having money to buy games while also having ample free time to play my GBA. Aggron was a key part of my team, so I kind of want to head out there and find one.
