The Pokémon Company recently rolled out the Pokémon GO 0.53.1 update. The update includes tweaks on distance tracking and a few essential minor text fixes. The Pokemon Go update does not bring any big enhancement into the game. However, the update code reveals some interesting information about new features over 35 new moves, new forms, items for Evolution and more.

Pokémon Go Update 0.53.1

These game code revelations seem to be more like a Gen 2 update list of the Pokémon GO. The Silph Road group said that they have discovered the comprehensive list of these updates. The list contains 38 first-ever moves used by various Generation 2 Pokémon, Unown forms and Evolution items, as reported by Polygon.

35+ New Moves

The list of Quick Moves reported by the group is Counter, Charge Beam, Dragon Tail, Struggle Bug, Fire Spin, Extrasensory, Air Slash, Astonish, Hex, Infestation, Volt Switch, Snarl, Powder Snow, Iron Tail and Bullet Seed. New Charge Moves have also been included into the game code.

The charge moves introduced in the code includes Aurora Beam, Avalanche, Brave Bird, Close Combat, Crunch, Foul Play, Dynamic Punch, Energy Ball, Focus Blast, Future sight, Grass Knot, Gyro Ball, Heavy Slam, Mirror Coat, Night Shade, Outrage, Overheat, Rock Blast, Sand Tomb, Silver Wind, Sky Attack, Wild Charge, and Zap Cannon.

Silph Road Spots Graphical Assets to the Sequences

The group also spotted the graphic assets of the sequences in the Pokémon GO Update 0.53.1 data. This makes players believe that they can easily deploy these moves via changes in the server-side. When Ditto was introduced into the Pokémon Go game, Niantic did a similar update. This implies that players can expect a similar move from Niantic for a lot of new Gen 2 creatures as well, as reported by Mirror.

The Group Discovers New Forms and Evolution Items

The discovery also led to finding a new batch of Pokémon "forms" which is widely speculated in both the game and anime of Pokémon Go. According to the data released by Silph Road, the new forms are named as Unown A, Unown B, Unown C, Unown Z, Unown Question Mark (?), and Unown Exclamation Point (!) in the Pokémon GO 0.53.1 update. Also, they have found references to new Evolution items namely Dragon Scale, Kings Rock, Metal Coat, Sun Stone, and Upgrade.

With these updates on the way, fans are hoping the game to get much better than it is now in the future.
