Pokémon Go update adds Gen 4 evolutions, Meltan, more

Classic Pokémon such as Magmar and Electabuzz can now evolve for the first time in Pokémon Go.

Last night, Pokémon Go added a new item which unlocks these species' new Gen 4 evolutions. Named the Sinnoh Stone, after the Gen 4 games' region, this one-size-fits-all item replaces some complicated mechanics found in the original Diamond and Pearl games.

Half of the 22 Pokémon to gain new evolutions in Gen 4 can now evolve using the item.
