The latest APK of the game Pokemon GO revealed information about the near-future of the game, including the possibility of a launch of Larvesta and Volcarona! A teardown of the game’s version 0.209.0 revealed new move effects, a fix for Rocket Radar, a Global Challenge text change, changes to image assets, Shadow Pokemon effect color changes, and changes to notifications for contacts joining the game. This update also added Pokemon Party changes and Quest Branching as a new sort of quest type.
Courtesy of PokeMiners on The Silph Road, we can see how this newest version of Pokemon GO has codes relating to Raid Passes. It would appear that if a user has a missing Remote Raid Pass – somehow – telemetry is now sent from the in-game shop to the user (and/or vice-versa). This will likely fix any issues users had with missing passes in the past.
