Hello Trainers! 0.249.0 is rolling out to a device near you and it brings with it Vivillon badges, A new move: Poltergeist, Glowing Pokémon, and more!
Oh and also maybe a raid-ready button. Maybe.
Please read through all of this with a grain of salt – we often post data mining reports which end up taking months to release, and we don’t want our readers to be disappointed. Be smart, read this like speculation and be happy once it goes live.
💡 Disclaimer: You know the drill by now, everything in this article is data mined, and therefore subject to change or not even being released at all. All of this information is publicly provided by the PokéMiners and includes some of my commentaries.
New Assets
So, there’s a lot there including a new ticket, the effect for Poltergeist, all of the Vivillon Medals, Shiny new boxes (cause those have been so awesome recently), catch cards for Campfire, a couple of icons for Pokébox searching, and the obvious star of the infographic AR Photo Corner Bracket.
Extended Raid Assets
Assets for the Extended raid, it appears the egg will have some sort of twister around it. Pretty neat. Not much is known about the Extended raids, perhaps its something along the lines of if enough people raid the boss it will get extended longer so more people can attempt it.
New Move – Poltergeist
.V0376_MOVE_POLTERGEIST
As announced, the Community Day Pokémon for October is Litwick and the move is Poltergeist. Poltergeist is an interesting move in the main series games as it only damages Pokémon holding items. Obviously, in Pokémon GO we don’t have held items, so damage for everyone!
New Costumes
FALL_2022 FALL_2022_NOEVOLVE
More costumes.
Vivillon
Badges

It looks like the Vivillon badge will have a main badge, and then will display the progress towards each individual badge when you click on it. It also looks like the background will change depending on if you’ve completed the badge or not.
Special Pokédex Page
VivillonPokedexButtonWid .get emptyBadgeImage vivillonBackgroundImage vivillonIcon selectedVivillonColor unselectedVivillonColor
Vivillon will have a special Pokédex page.
New Evolution Item
ITEM_OTHER_EVOLUTION_STONE_A
There’s no indication that this item is for Vivillon, however, it would make sense if it was. Completing a Vivillon postcard would grant you this item, and then you could evolve a Vivillon.
New Badges
XXS and XXL Pokémon
.BADGE_CAPTURE_SMALL_POKEMON .BADGE_CAPTURE_LARGE_POKEMON
2 badges for capturing small and large Pokémon. This likely goes with the XXS and XXL Pokémon texts that were found earlier.
100 New Badges
.BADGE_EVENT_0063 . .BADGE_EVENT_0162
100 new unnamed event badges.
Raids
New Raid Visual and Plaque Types

Visuals for existing raids, the new Extended raid type, and plaques for Triangle, Diamond, and Star raids?
Extended Raid

Some special effects for the Extended Raid.
Ready Raid
READY_RAID
Are we finally getting a raid-ready button? Wizards Unite had it, and Pokémon GO Trainers have been asking for it essentially since raids became a thing. So fingers crossed!!
New Followers
MapCharacterFollowerBase SetPokemonProto UpdateFollowerPokemonProto .get_IsStale FollowerPokemon UpdateMapFollowers FollowerPokemonService dummyPokemonId
Are we getting the ability to have more than one Pokémon follow us? Or something other than Pokémon?
Install Method Check
ApplicationInstallMode DeveloperBuild Adhoc Enterprise Editor
This could be either a method to check how your game client was installed ie: Side loaded or it could just be part of a new library and not be used at all.
Pokémon Glows

No clue what this is for, but .get_GlowEffect was added to the Pokémon model so it has to do with Pokémon for sure.
PvP

This looks like it’s a method for Niantic to schedule GBL league/Cup changes automatically with a schedule, and it looks like you’ll be able to look at a schedule in-game.
Mini-game response times

Some response time checks for the charge attack mini-game.

Are we going to be able to search the Pokédex directly instead of scrolling down to where you wanna go?

USER_FIRST_CONNECT EnumExtensions IsConnectingConnectState IsPairingConnectState IsFailedOrRejectedConnectState IsStableNotPairedConnectState IsStableConnectState .get_DeviceKind .set_DeviceKind .get_ConnectionState .set_ConnectionState .get_IsCertified .get_IsStableConnectState
This is all likely connected to Pokémon Sleep. Interesting they have a check to see if it’s a certified device.
That’s all for this time trainers, Stay safe out there!
