It snowed for the first time in 13 years here last night and NOW the update goes live. Guess I'll have to wait another 13 years to see snow on this game

Apparently you can find improved Pokémon depending on the weather? Ho-Oh is appearing with higher CP according to some people.

Someone mentioned Dragon for Windy earlier, I can imagine Flying fits into the Windy category

So far I've caught Roselia, Gulpin (seen a bunch of these about), Wurmple, Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Seedot, Mudkip, Zangoose, Makuhita AND Hariyama. Also seen a whole bunch of older ones I've usually seen only rarely: Rhyhorn, Seel, Tentacool, Machop, Shellder, Geodude, and even a couple of wild Bulbasaur.

I've caught a bunch of mons already under Cloudy skies that have Strong or Better stats. Caught a 890 Clefariy which was nice. And a really good Roselia.

Only found 5 species so far, but I only did like 10 stops. Also managed to get two Magnemite so again a bit closer to that medal.

Oh man, my team of 3 high IV/1 100% Gyarados are very happy with this update, already changed all their movesets to Waterfall

Wild Pokémon can now breach level 30 by the way. Weather update can take them past it. I caught a Skitty already needing a 8000 Stardust power-up.

Weather affected raid bosses are level 25 at catch instead of 20.

Pray it's windy on EX raid day

Yeah I know you've never gotten an EX invite.

I stopped playing when I couldn't get the first available legendary because my area sucks for raiding, but this update stuff is intriguing me much.

Only reason I'm still caught up is because I watch Trainer Tips, who is just a great vlogging youtuber in general aside from just an informative PoGO guy.

I don't expect to get into this regularly again but I did download the update and I will check it out for a little bit. I've never been a "collector for the sake of collecting" when it comes to Pokemon games, so while the shiny stuff, gen 3 and whatnot is sweet, probably won't pull pull me all the way back in. But cool to see there are some move change ups with previous pokemon, the weather stuff is pretty awesome and enough of those kind of features would definitely entice me to start playing regularly again. Not enough for now though.

The changes to the battle UI are very interesting to me, because it seems to open up an easy way to add more charge moves to Pokemon. If they do that, it would be a pretty big incentive for me. Along with a balance update that makes things much better on that front and no doubt I'd be back into it.

I'm looking at the movesets and, man, there are a lot of questionable choices there.

Blaziken: no fighting special against normals
Swampert: no Ice Beam against grass and dragons
Gardevoir: no fairy quick move and bad offensive psychic moves
Zangoose: no normal moves
Milotic: no Hydro Pump but Hyper Beam
Metagross: only one bar specials

Very strange occurrence where I just got kicked out of two gyms but did not need to revive what was defeated. They were just put back in my box without requiring a revive and heal. Bug? Can I finally stop crossing my figners for more revives out of spinners?

It's more laughable cause it does nothing against grass or water. At least Megahorn hit grass!

Also Ice Beam on Lapras is legacy now. Cherish those Ice Shard / Ice Beam Laprases.

It's possible that the gym got removed. It would be returned full health

my whole army of fodder defenders were auto revived today. donno why. i hadn't revived them before due to the lack of revives and potions given out

my game stalled every time i tried to raid today. everyone around me completed the raid as normal. i filed a report, but it's friday evening so, i doubt anything will happen for a while.

I was about to say the same thing. All of my pokemon were revived which is a good thing since I'm out of revives

Also had my Pokémon return at full health. I thought I was going crazy.

Also looks like Plusle and Minun are exclusives and split by the prime meridian east and west. People in the UK can get both.

CLoudy conditions basically make my town Machop and Machoke heaven, loving it.
Shame it also means no soloing Machamp since he gets too boosted now.

Literally only seen Roselia and Wurmple so far... the prior is all over my work parking lot, but rare everywhere else, and I've only seen two Wurmple. Where the hell are the other 44 or so species?

And this isn't really Niantic's fault, but it sucks that the clear weather effect is boosted fire and ground spawns, given basically every spawn is already fire or ground here and the weather is almost always clear... I guess boosted grass is nice though.
