Blast Burn Announced for Typhlosion
Surprising no one, Typhlosion will receive Blast Burn as its exclusive move for the next Community Day on November 10th, 2018.
Blast Burn is expected to improve Typhlosion, however it will not make it relevant in the Fire meta. There are just too many powerful Fire types to compete with like Entei and Moltres, not to mention unlike Charizard that had Fire Spin and Blast Burn, Typhlosian will be stuck with Ember and Blast Burn, a considerably worse moveset. In any case, it will be a day to get some exclusive moves and hopefully some shinies!

New Box Sale
In addition to the style options, the Ingress Prime tie-in has brought along some new boxes in the store. A full analysis will follow, in the meantime though here is what is available for purchase, with the theme seemingly going more towards Incubators again:
| Box | Incubators | Raid Passes | Special Item 1 | Special Item 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Special Box (480 coins) | x2 Egg Incubator | x2 Raid Passes | x1 Lucky Egg | x3 Star Pieces |
| Great Box (780 coins) | x3 Super Incubator | x4 Raid Passes | x2 Lure Module | x6 Star Pieces |

Shiny Ponyta and Cubone Live
Ponyta Credit goes to Papa Jorro of Go Hub. Cubone credit goes to u/PumasUNAM7 on Reddit.
Thats right, both of these shinies are out now and available to catch! For those worried about not seeing them because they are not native to your biome, never fear, for Niantic has boosted the spawn rates of both of these Pokémon for this mini event. As mentioned in our previous announcement article, and for those confused as to why these two were chosen, these two shinies, being blue and green, highlight the fight in Ingress between the Resistance and the Enlightened. As of now, there is no confirmation of how long they will be boosted in spawns, or how long the boxes will be available.
