Pokémon Go Version 1.11 Patch Update: Catch Bonus And Gym Training Tweaks Rolled Out

The latest update for Pokémon Go is ready to roll out and iOS 1.11 and Android 0.41 version updates will bring catch bonuses and improved Gym training.

While these new features may seem minor, they will make catching certain types of Pokémon much easier and gives trainers a reason to catch all of those Rattata while also making training in your Team’s Gym simpler, making it easier to strengthen Gym Prestige and gain experience (and coins).

The new Pokémon Go catch bonus feature will let trainers have a better chance of catching Pokémon of a specific type. The medals awarded for catching 10 of a certain type of Pokémon will now be indicators of your catch bonus. There will be tiers, which increases the catch rate in Pokémon Go every time you reach a new milestone.

As for Gym Training, trainers can enter their Team’s Gym and spar with others. What changes is that now the CP of the Pokémon being stored at the Gym will be adjusted lower depending on your level. This will make it easier to take down Pokémon while making yours stronger.

Here are the official patch notes from Niantic and the Pokémon Go team and let us know your favorite part of the Pokémon Go 1.11 update in the comments section below.
