"Pokémon GO" players are in for some treat. This month's "Pokémon GO" update will add some fresh substance to the hit augmented reality game.

Developed by Niantic, "Pokémon GO" already have seven major updates since it was initially released for iOS, Android and Apple Watch in early July. It includes the "Pokémon GO" Plus update, the addition of the "Pokémon GO" buddy system, lowering the CP of Pokémon based on level, the expansion of the Pokédex roster, the new Catch Bonus and the decreased of the evolution animation time from 25-seconds to only 20-seconds.

Now, the latest "Pokémon GO" update includes the removal of all the spawns and sightings when driving, imposing a 30-mph speed lock upon "Pokémon GO" players, Slash Gear reported. It purposely eradicates all Pokémon spawns and the sightings list once the player passed the required speed.

The said "Pokémon GO" update also adds new Catch Bonus mechanic, which is intended to urge players to chase down more legendary and rare Pokémons. To get the Catch Bonus for each medal level, players apparently need to get a specific number of that said type of Pokémon. Check out the list below courtesy of US Gamer:

  • Schoolkid: Catch Normal-type Pokémon - Bronze: 10 (+1); Silver 50 (+2); Gold 200 (+3)
