We’re not interrupting the Adventure and XP loot of Adventure Week, but as we had mentioned in our recent teardown about rainbow effect impacting the weather system in the new upcoming update and it seems few players have already have got hands on new update and have run into the new weather effect graphic.

Special Weather Rainbow Spotted In Game’s Skyline

Here’s the look of the New Rainbow Effect, it was shared by Trainer AshMaster1984

Rainbow Effect

He also mentioned that Weather went from rainy to cloudy during the transition, and also confirmed the effect is also visible in the catch screen!

At this point we have no explanation how it will impact the gameplay or it’s just a visual, or if there’s something more to it… Maybe a preview of what’s to come with Alola forms?

Here’s the code which we found in the APK Teardown!

.get_EnableSpecialWeather
.set_EnableSpecialWeather
.get_SpecialWeatherProbability
.set_SpecialWeatherProbability
.IsItRainbowTime
.permanent
.AttachRainbow
.TurnRainbow
.TurnOnRainbow
.TurnOffRainbow
.RainbowTime
.CalculateSunPosition
.angleInRadians
.CorrectAngle
.rainbowShader

We’ll keep an eye out for confirmation of what’s happening from Niantic and post an update when the mystery is solved. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!

And We have got something handy for you, We know so many events are running and it’s difficult to remember when which will start or get over, so we have come with our Pokemon Go Countdown timer, it lists all the currently running events and the upcoming events with the countdown timer, It even contains your Local Event Time – PokeTimer Pokemon Go Countdown Timer – Visit Here

The post Update 0.105.0 APK teardown – Alolan Form, Rainbow Effect and Much More appeared first on PokéWreck.

Niantic finally officially announced the Blast Burn as the Exclusive for this community day (Although we had already announced in our Data Mine Report), and today the GAME_MASTER got a little update and stats for Blast Burn, a FIRE type charge move and Smack Down, a ROCK type fast move got revealed, and it’s little disappointing.

Blast Burn and Smack Down Stats

Two new moves meta stats got revealed in the GAME_MASTER File.

1. Smack Down, a ROCK type fast move, expected to make an appearance during the upcoming Adventure Day event in May.
2. Blast Burn, a FIRE type charge move, confirmed as Charizard’s exclusive Community Day

It’s little disappointing after looking at the stats, as Blast Burn was expected to be a wonderful move on par with Frenzy Plant.

1. NEW FIELD RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The Way the Gym and Raid battles have been reworked, two new objectives have appeared alongside with COMPLETE_RAID_BATTLE and COMPLETE_GYM_BATTLE.

• JOIN_RAID
• COMPLETE_BATTLE

A new Field Research victory condition has appeared

• WINBATTLESTATUS

2. ONE NEW MOVE: SMACK DOWN!

One additional move has been added. A Fast Move: Smack Down! Nine species in Gen I-III can learn this move inherently:

• Geodude, Graveler, & Golem
• Onix
• Rhyhorn & Rhydon
• Steelix
• Anorith & Armaldo

Make sure you Read the Guide to skip Pokemon animation to increase your catch rate Guide: Skip Pokeball shaking animation and Pokémon catch screen

3. NEW GIFT BOX: COMMUNITY DAY BOX

Every Community Day has included Multiple sale boxes, like the previous one named a “Community Day Box”, so a new design has been added for the Community Box Sale.

4. POKESTOP SUBMISSION

In this APK several new updates have been received regarding the Pokestop Point of Interest Submission.

The ability to upload photos by URL has been added UPLOADPOIPHOTOBYURL. Several error codes (e.g. ‘Image too big‘ and ‘feature disabled‘) have appeared alongside it.

Also, an attribute denoting the ability to include hyperlinks in PokeStop descriptions has been added.

5. WEATHER REPORT!

Seeing glitch in weather? Now you can report it!

A new reporting feature has been added to flag erroneous/problematic in-game weather! (USER_ISSUE_REPORT_WEATHER) This is an interesting development that perhaps points to Niantic’s openness to exploring additional weather data providers than the current data source.

6. “MYTHICAL” SEARCH FILTER

The Ability to search Mythical Pokemon in the search have been added in the new update.

7. PERFORMANCE MONITORING

A large addition in this APK is a Telemetry library which grants the client app the ability to monitor more closely the app’s performance. Things like:

• BOOT_TIME
• FRAME_RATE
• TIME_TO_MAP
• LOGO_SCREEN_TIME
• MAIN_SCENE_LOAD_TIME

The post Pokemon GO 0.101.0 APK tear down: Quest Update, New Move, Weather Report and Many more appeared first on PokéWreck.

We have been looking under the hood, and have some exciting news coming in for you today.

So Here’s The APK Mine of Pokemon GO update v 0.95.3

There are a lot of new things added to the game’s code with this update. Let’s get the biggest things out first.

1. New Moves: 

With March 25th Community Day inching closer, the move Frenzy Plant has been added to the APK, along with its visual effects.

And a surprise new move has also appeared in the code: Weather Ball.

Known to be Catform’s special move, Weather Ball is a Normal Type Move, which changes its type depending on the Weather.

2. New Pokemon added: Spinda.

‘Spot Panda’ Pokemon Spinda have been added to the game’s code.

Spinda was first introduced in Gen III and are said to have unique Spot patterns. A clue in the code suggests that we’ll be seeing 8 different variants of Spinda in the game.

3. Another Hint at Quests:

Although the game’s code largely stays clear of anything related to Quests, one clue has managed to slip in along with this update.

• ACTIVITY_CATCH_QUEST_POKEMON_ENCOUNTER

It certainly appears that at least one of the quests will involve catching a Pokemon. We can’t wait to see more clues about this leaked feature soon.

4. PokeStop Submissions in Pokemon GO?

As if the aforementioned additions weren’t exciting enough, a new POI management system has just appeared in the APK.  In simple English, this means a tool to submit the points of interest that power Pokestops in Pokemon GO and `portals` in Ingress.

It’s still not clear whether this feature will be integrated with the game itself or will remain a tool for Niantic themselves.Though we hope for it to be the prior one.

Points of interest also appear to have two states: COMPLETED and COMPLETED_AND_REASSIGNED along with various error states, hinting at a review and perhaps even a delegation process.

This could be a huge advancement in the game for Pokemon GO players in POI-sparse areas, but will come with major challenges for Niantic!

Well, those were all the major things to appear in the game. Let’s take a look at what else has been added to the game.

5. Account Linking Additions and overhaul:

Many large changes and additions now appear reflecting the new ability of the app to ingest and link Facebook and Google accounts. This is now possible due to what appears to be a new central authentication component of Niantic’s making, which can support multiple authentication types per user.

This has also re-written some of the account banning code, though the effect of these changes is not yet clear.

6. Daily Distance Tracking:

A new attribute has appeared which will track the number of kilometers walked in the past day: KMWALKEDPASTACTIVEDAY

This Might be used in new QUEST objectives.

7. New ‘Event Move’ Attribute:

The new attributes EVENTQUICKMOVE and EVENTCINEMATICMOVE have now appeared in the APK, probably hinting that these moves could be called out in new ways visibly moving forward soon.  Regardless, the app now distinguishes these on the backend.

8. New Multiplier: Escaped Bonus

An exciting new set of attributes have appeared in the game’s code, possibly hinting at new multipliers.

• ESCAPEDBONUSMULTIPLIERMAX
• ESCAPEDBONUSMULTIPLIERBYEXCELLENTTHROW
• ESCAPEDBONUSMULTIPLIERBYGREATTHROW
• ESCAPEDBONUSMULTIPLIERBYNICETHROW

This might be a new multiplier that takes effect once a Pokemon breaks out (‘escapes’) from a ball? If so, it appears that breaking out of EXCELLENT throws is handled differently than lower-accuracy throws.

This could be a fantastic way to reward those consistently throwing GREAT or EXCELLENT throws – but who still have a Pokemon frustratingly break out.

And this time Nothing observable has changed in this minor version update’s APK file. The only changes found was night sky stars texture.
