Among the numerous announcements made in the 2024 Pokemon World Championships closing ceremony on August 18 was a short look at some of the upcoming additions to expect in Pokemon GO. Besides new Pokemon, a new feature gets teased—and although it isn’t clearly named, it’s looking very likely to be the implementation of Dynamax.
The first reveal is a quick look at Morpeko, the Two-Sided Pokemon. Like in the mainline video game series, Morpeko will be able to change between Fully Belly Mode and Hangry Mode during battle in Pokemon GO. It’s always a pleasure to see more and more Pokemon make their way into GO, and it’s certainly nice that Morpeko’s Ability Hunger Switch will be implemented in some capacity in a game that otherwise doesn’t feature Abilities. Still, the announcement of just a single Pokemon felt underwhelming.
