Pokémon GO modifies the CP of these Pokémon
It seems the folks at Niantic have learned a lesson of value from other major game developers of the day. And it is necessary to keep the game alive and in constant evolution and change to avoid that people abandon it out of boredom or due to a lack of justice within the title itself. Something that Pokémon GO wants to avoid with a balance change in the chances of certain Pokémon
And the fact is that Niantic doesn't want us to abandon some PokémonBy others. Or at least, he wants to preserve the fairness of the game for everyone. Therefore, as happens every month in the title Clash Royale, it has carried out a adjustment of the values of certain Pokémon in the game Something that raises the CP or combat points of ones, while reduces those of others With this, the predominance of some of these beings over others would cease to exist, subtly changing the rules of the game and forcing players who have discovered these mechanics to look for new ones to follow succeeding.
Although they have not detailed these changes as they usually do Supercell, they have reported what those are Pokémon affected.Specifically, Alakazam (Third Evolution, Psychic-type), Rhydon (Second Evolution, Rock-type and ground) and Gengar (third evolution, ghost and poison type) will increase in combat points. That is, pwill play harder against other Pokémon through gyms However, Nianticconfirms that they won't be the only ones to increase their power.
Others Pokémon have reduced their combat capabilities Of course, in these cases Niantic has not stated what Pokémon it is, although it did state the purpose of these changes. And the idea is to create a balance and fairer competition when it comes to fighting in Pokémon gyms or training in them if they are dyed the same color. In addition, in their statement they confirm that these value changes will continue to occur in the future to improve game balance when necessary.
With it Pokémon GO begins to show signs of maturity. A game that, after the enormous initial success and the consequent loss of audience after the fashion already has more stable bases to continue with its journey All of it fromfairer, safer and more controlled way than in their first months of life. And it is that, creating a successful game is of little use if players are faced with situations in which the mechanics are flawed and they are excluded from functions as basic as participating in the Pokémon gyms Even more so when it is one of the few activities that can be carried out in this title today
Changes will be noticeable soon before battles, based on how certain Pokémon have gained strength and others have lost it.Something that will force many to modify their favorite Pokémon squad and continue looking for the ideal team. All this before what is coming with a new event to get more points during the last week of November and before the rumored macro update December with new Pokémon It is clear that Pokémon GO is still alive
Update:
There is a Google Drive document where the increase and decrease of the statistics of the Pokémon Performed by Niantic You can refer to it to learn how it has affected balance before mentioned to each of the Pokémon in the title.
