Pokemon: GO Dev Tracker

Do you remember your first Pokémon GO trade? Since the feature launched in June, Trainers all around the world have traded their Pokémon with friends! And every once in a while, they’ve discovered a Lucky Pokémon. How awesome! #PokemonGO

This year, we also learned more about our fearless, friendly Professor Willow! In the spring, he shared more facts about himself during Professor Willow Week! Do you remember when his birthday is? 🤔 #PokemonGO

The year of 2018 was a year of massive Pokédex explosion! Trainers were able to encounter Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region and the Sinnoh region. Something tells us you’ll be adding more entries to your Sinnoh Pokédex soon... #PokemonGO

@KitsuneKurisu: @PokemonGoApp These are probably my favourite AR pics of the year. AR+ completely changed my relationship with AR photos…

Speaking of art, Trainers have become masterful photographers when taking a #PokemonGOar photo! 📷 Show us your best work, and we may feature it today! #PokemonGO

Have an eye for art, Trainers? We’ve loved delivering amazing pictures of Pokémon throughout the year in Pokémon GO! Which loading screen from this year was your favorite? #PokemonGO

Did you know? Our Trainers caught 4.4 billion Pokémon while walking over 500 million kilometers during this year’s Community Day events! Show us your Jogger medal! 👟 🏅 #PokemonGO

Congratulations, Trainers, on participating in your local Community Day events! Whether you were out finding a Pikachu that knows Surf in January or celebrating all the 11 featured Community Day Pokémon in December, we have been in awe of your enthusiasm! #PokemonGO

So many Trainers became Special Research experts, helping Professor Willow solve mysteries surrounding Mythical Pokémon. The New Species Pokémon, Mew, was the first big Special Research discovery! Which Special Research was your favorite? #PokemonGO

Trainers, do you remember this? Pokémon GO received an...interesting makeover for April Fools’ Day 2018 with 8-bit graphics! Which pixelated Pokédex entry was your favorite? #PokemonGO

Around the world, Trainers enjoyed amazing scenery and excellent Pokémon encounters during special events! We want to thank Trainers who came out to our many Safari Zone events, the global Earth Day Cleanup, Pokémon GO Week in Korea, and more! #PokemonGO

@ItsFleeceKing: @PokemonGoApp Thank you for an incredible year of this game. I can say that most of the fun and excitement for me this y…

Trainers experienced a new way to #BeLegendary with more Legendary Pokémon appearing in raids! From Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza at the start of the year to Cresselia appearing now, Trainers have challenged powerful Pokémon originally discovered in many regions! #PokemonGO

What an epic two years, Trainers! From the thrill of catching that nearby Pokémon to battling in Gyms with friends, we’ve loved seeing all your journeys evolve throughout the years! As we take a look back at 2018, what was your favorite #PokemonGO memory?

The Mystery Box’s effect has grown stronger! Now when you use the Mystery Box, even more Meltan will appear for you to encounter. You can get the Mystery Box by connecting #PokemonGO to #PokemonLetsGo on your Nintendo Switch!

Choose wisely when to block! You can only deploy a Protect Shield a limited number of times per battle before your Pokémon will be left defenseless. [3/3]

Timing is important! If you use your head and keep an eye on your opponent’s moves, deploying a Protect Shield at the right time will save your Pokémon from critical damage. [2/3]

❗ #GOBattle update: Every expert Trainer knows that good defense is key to winning any battle! During Trainer Battles, Trainers can choose to defend against incoming attacks by using a Protect Shield. [1/3]
