Niantic has just announced that future "Pokémon GO" updates would include gym training experiences a lot easier and that it would be more user friendly especially to new players.
The "Pokémon GO" developer has just unveiled that they are introducing a new feature to the players that would allow them to catch rare pokemons easier. These updates will help players to have a new and fresh feel of gameplay.
Pokémons' bonus chances are now based by the medals you have earned. For example if you have the Kindler Medal, bonuses to Fire-type Pokémon would increase, according to Niantic.
To put it simply, the more specific type of Pokemon you are capturing, the better and easier rare Pokémon would appear in that category especially if the tier for your medal is higher. This would be a big benefit for players trying to build a Pokemon team with a motif.
Niantic said in their official post: "In an upcoming version of 'Pokémon GO,' when training at a friendly Gym, Trainers will be able to bring six Pokémon to battle instead of one. In addition, the CP of the Pokémon you are training against may be temporarily adjusted lower during your training session to generally match your Pokémon’s battle capabilities."
Originally, you can only bring one Pokemon to a friendly gym but it would be adjusted to a total of six Pokemons. The adjustment for the CP (combat power) of the defending Pokémon will also be will be changed "to generally match your Pokemon's battle capabilities," The Next Web reported.
This means that you can contribute to friendly gyms with a more fighting chance Pokémon at your side that could significantly impact the growth of the gym. It will help casual players the ability to help more without having to grind for hours leveling up their Pokémon .
Niantic hasn't released any official statement about the release of the "Pokémon GO" updates but it is going to make a somewhat drastic impact for the game which could reach out to inactive players to get back to playing again. This would also help active players to keep playing, seeing as there are fewer and fewer players since its first release.
