Pokemon Go developer Niantic has revealed that the game will be adding a new way for players to catch ’em all. Starting soon, players will be able to catch Pokemon of different sizes, as the game is adding XXS and XXL versions of Pokemon. The game will start by adding different size versions of three Pokemon: Poochyena, Mightyena, and Mawile. Niantic is teasing that “other Pokemon may have undiscovered sizes,” so players can expect to see this mechanic rolled out for other Pokemon in the future.
The game’s Pokedex will also be updated, and entries for these Pokemon will showcase the player’s record for lightest, heaviest, largest, and smallest. When encountering XXS and XXL Pokemon, players will be treated to a new animation, and they will be notified when a catch record has been broken. Players will also be happy to know that these size variants can be found in Shiny form, as well….
