It looks like Pokemon Go is updating its Pokedex with Pokemon Sword and Shield's new Gen 8 Pokemon and adding a ton of new features, per the results of an APK file teardown by Pokeminers. Among other smaller changes, the file revealed the Galarian forms, a plethora of new Team Rocket content including a potential custom field for Team Rocket battles, a new badge, and new music, and finally, curfews for Team Rocket Pokestops.
If true, and that's a good possibility considering the historically reliable source, this is going to be a massive update for Pokemon Go, which makes sense considering the fast-approaching release of the next mainline entry in the Pokemon series.
There are a few highlights, but the big one is the addition of Sword and Shield's Gen 8 Galar-region Pokemon to the Pokedex. It's not a surprise that Niantic is keeping the mobile Pokemon catcher up-to-date with the latest entry in the series, but it might be a surprise to some how soon they might be added. According to the update breakdown, it seems a Galarian Weezing, Zigzagoon, and Linoone will be the first Galar-region Pokemon to be added to Go.
The teardown also focuses on the alleged addition of a bunch of new Team Rocket content, including new characters, a new badge, and a new map, which all point to and corroborate recent reporting that a new Team GO Rocket event is on the horizon.
