Player Reputation

In order to counter Spoofers and bot, Niantic has introduced a new client-side tool: Player reputation

According to the APK each player can be marked as

• Bot
• Spoofer

And there are a few lines of code that deals with a concept called “repeated reputation”.

New Move: Hydro Cannon

Hydro Cannon, or in other words, move with ID 0299, is now available in the game. Imagine a WATER starter exclusive move? We have little doubts on which Pokemon will be the next Community Day feature

.V0299_MOVE_HYDRO_CANNON

And yes the new move matches with our theory!
