Trainers,

Were excited to announce that more Pokmon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region are coming to Pokmon GO! From seas and beaches to mountains and beyond, be on the lookout for Cherubi, Gible, Hippopotas, and others. We hope youll enjoy the fun and surprises as you encounter these Pokmon in the wild and hatch them from Eggs. Also arriving in Pokmon GO is a powerful Ground-type moveEarth Power!

Plus, we have more exciting news to share. Thanks to your dedication in helping Professor Willow with his research, he has made some amazing improvements to our favorite modulethe Lure Module. Inspired by research collected from around the world, three upgraded Lure Modules have been developed. These modules attract Pokmon in the surrounding area while creating a temporary special habitat. Soon youll be able to harness the power of Glacial Lure Modules, Mossy Lure Modules, and Magnetic Lure Modules. These lures might even have the potential to cause Evolution in certain Pokmon!

More details on these exciting additions:

Additional Sinnoh Pokmon are now available to catch in the wild and hatch from Eggs.
Earth Power is a powerful Ground-type Charged Attack that could lower your opponents defense in Trainer Battles.
Certain Pokmon recently arrived from the Sinnoh region will know Earth Power.
Other Pokmon that could know Earth Power include Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Aerodactyl, Camerupt, and Claydol.
Glacial Lure Modules, Mossy Lure Modules, and Magnetic Lure Modules can be obtained in the in-game shop and will be available later this season as rewards for completing new Special Research tasks.
These Lure Modules attract local Pokmon as well as bonus Pokmon based on the type of lure.
Glacial Lure Modules attract certain Pokmon that love the cold, such as Water- and Ice-Type Pokmon.
Mossy Lure Modules attract certain Pokmon that love to frolic among the leaves, such as Bug-, Grass-, and Poison-Type Pokmon.
Magnetic Lure Modules attract certain Pokmon that are drawn to electromagnetic forces, such as some Electric-, Steel-, and Rock-type Pokmon.
When Trainers are within range of a PokStop with an active lure of the appropriate type, and they can successfully spin its Photo Disc, Evolution of Magneton and Nosepass will be enabled, as well as certain Evolutions of Eevee.
You can choose whether or not to proceed with these special Evolutions on the Pokmons detail screen.
What other surprises will you discover? The only way to find out is to get out and GO!

neat, don't need to find the stupid evolution item needed (or in the case of eevee get lucky and potentially waste my eevees on an evolution I don't want/need) anymore, just need to find someone with the lures to use them for me :^)

The reason this needs to be discussed here and not on the main board for Pokemon Go is?
