Hello Trainers! Pokémon GO 0.237.0 update is currently rolling out to a device near you and it brings with it some pretty neat updates under the hood. There’s been an update to the Unity Game engine, Shaymin’s signature move, more on Routes, and more!
💡 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 is included along with some of my own commentary.
Unity Version Update
0.237.0 brings with it a 2020 version of the Unity game engine, this means that the game will need to download every asset to support the new version. We highly recommend that you open the game for the first time after updating while you’re connected to WiFi, especially if you have limited data on your phone plan.
New Assets
Some new assets were added in this update, they are likely all for the new routes feature that’s hopefully coming very soon.
Routes
Speaking of Routes
Route Badges
.BADGE_UNSET .BADGE_BRONZE .BADGE_SILVER .BADGE_GOLD
Route badges will come in Bronze, Silver, and Gold just like Gym badges.
Route Stamps

Stamps and Categories for the routes are in the APK now, it looks like they’re getting really close.
Buddy Stamps
.get_RouteStampCategorySettings
This line was added to the buddy section, so it appears that your buddy will be able to grab you some route stamps along your travels? Likely to encourage you to check out a route that’s nearby.
Build Avatar
BuildOriginalPlayerAvatar
The ability to dynamically build an original player avatar has been added. This is likely how the game will generate the NPCs that are along the routes.
Shaymin’s Signature Move
.V0369_MOVE_SEED_FLARE
Shaymin’s signature move has been added, not shocking considering its the feature Mythical for Go Fest 2022
