Niantic has announced that they are updating the sticker feature in Pokémon GO with new features. Trainers will be able to more easily navigate their sticker collection as they will be grouped into different categories: featured, recent, messages, Pokémon, characters, and miscellaneous.

A sticker feature update is coming to Pokémon GO!

Trainers,
We’re excited to announce that Pokémon GO’s sticker feature is getting an update!

With this update, Trainers will be able to navigate their sticker collection easier than ever before! Stickers will be grouped by category, helping you quickly find exactly the right sticker to attach to each Gift!

We hope that this feature makes navigating and sending stickers easier and more enjoyable, and that it leads to even more fun Gifts and shared memories!

Additional details

There are several new ways that Trainers will be able to navigate their sticker collection. When sending a Gift attached with a postcard, you’ll be able to tap “Add Sticker” to pull up the new sticker view. Stickers will be grouped into different categories: featured, recent, messages, Pokémon, characters, and miscellaneous.


Swiping up on the sticker sheet will show additional stickers in your collection. Trainers will be able to navigate through their collection by scrolling up and down, similar to navigating the Pokémon storage screen. Tapping on any of the listed categories will take you to those stickers—for example, the Messages tab will show you stickers that have text on them. Some categories, like the Pokémon tab, have subsections that allow you to further sort your stickers. Check out the screens below to see how you will be able to sort your Pokémon stickers by region!

Special sticker sale

To celebrate this update, we’ve made most of the stickers ever featured in Pokémon GO available for sale in the in-game shop! This opportunity will only last from Monday, October 31, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. to Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. PDT, so this is a good chance to get the stickers you missed in the past.

The Zorua surprise will not occur for time zones after GMT+13.

Zorua Surprise Bugged for October 25th, 2022's Shuppet Spotlight Hour

Trainers, we are aware of a bug where Zorua, a Pokémon with a planned surprise encounter during October 25th’s Shuppet Spotlight Hour, retains stats such as the height, CP, and attacks of the Pokémon it originally took on the form of.

The Zorua surprise that occurred in time zones including and prior to GMT+13 will not occur in time zones after while we fix this. Shuppet Spotlight Hour will still occur.

Zorua already caught by Trainers will not be able to be Traded, sent to Pokémon HOME, or allowed in GO Battle League until this issue is resolved. Please stay tuned for further details. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Niantic has announced that the Pokémon GO map will be updated and will look different in the next few weeks. he map will more accurately reflect the environment, and different Pokémon will appear in a greater variety of places. For Trainers in rural or rapidly expanding areas, this may also increase the number of Pokémon that appear overall.

Community note: Updates to the Pokémon GO map

Trainers,
It’s been three years since our last map update. Since then, both Pokémon GO and the world around us have changed.
To continue bringing you an experience that connects your exploration of the world around you with what you see in Pokémon GO, you may notice some changes to the in-game map over the next few weeks. The map will more accurately reflect the environment, and different Pokémon will appear in a greater variety of places.

These updates are intended to bring the world of Pokémon GO closer to what you see around you.

Global map refresh

The Pokémon GO map will undergo a visual refresh to more accurately reflect the real world and how it’s changed since our last update. After this update, you may begin to see local changes from recent years appear on the map. This may include the removal of old roads or the appearance of newly constructed buildings.

Pokémon will appear in more areas

Soon, different Pokémon will appear in even more places than before. In densely populated areas, this could mean that you’ll see the same numbers of Pokémon as before, but they’ll be spread out more evenly. You may also see Pokémon appear in different locations. For Trainers in rural or rapidly expanding areas, this may also increase the number of Pokémon that appear overall.

Thank you for continuing to play Pokémon GO! We hope that these updates will make your adventures more exciting.
