Pokémon Go Gen 2 Guide: What's new and when it's coming!
When will Pokémon Go roll out Gen 2? Babies, new evolutions, new Pokémon and more!
Pokémon Go is getting new Pokémon from the second generation. It starts with Togepi, Pichu, and the other Gen 2 babies the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games, but there's lots more to come. That includes new evolutions — and new split evolutions! — for Gen 1 Pokémon, and all new Gen 2 Pokémon as well. Here's everything you need to know!

Wait. Stop the video and replay that! Gen 2 Pokémon are already here?!
Some of them! From Pokémon Go:
Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can't wait to see what Pokémon you've hatched!
Babies! Which ones?
Almost all of them! Here's the deal, though — you have to hatch them from eggs. No catching, no spawns, no lures, no incense. Just. Eggs.
- Cleffa (baby Clefairy) in 2 KM eggs.
- Igglybuff (baby Jigglypuff) in 2 KM eggs.
- Pichu (baby Pikachu) in 5 KM eggs.
- Togepi (baby Togetic) in 5 KM eggs.
- Magby (baby Magmar) in 10 KM eggs.
- Smoochum (baby Jinx) in 10 KM eggs.
- Elekid (baby Electobuzz) in 10 KM eggs.
No Tyrogue yet (baby Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Hitmontops), likely due to the mechanics involved in the split evolutions, one of which hasn't been introduced yet, and merging the Hitmon candy.

Can Togepi be evolved into Togetic yet?
Sure can! Togetic is the only other Gen 2 Pokémon already in the game and since she can't be hatched from an egg or caught in the wild, evolving Togetic is currently the only way to get her. And yes, that makes Togetic one of the rarest Pokémon in the game right now!

What about new evolutions for Gen 1 Pokémon in Gen 2?
They're on their way! Evolution items have been found in the code for the latest version of Pokémon Go. Based on their names, it's possible you might need to acquire these items in order to get the Gen 2 evolutions. From The Silph Road:
- Sun Stone: Evolve Gloom to Bellossum.
- Kings Rock: Evolve Poliwhirl to Politoed, Slowpoke to Slowking
- Metal Coat: Evolve Onix to Steelix, Scyther to Scizor
- Dragon Scale: Evolve Seadra to Kingdra
- Up Grade: Evolve Porygon to Porygon 2
Here are all the new evolutions expected for Gen 2:
- Golbat to Crobat
- Gloom to Bellossom (split)
- Poliwhirl to Politoed (split)
- Eevee to Espeon (split)
- Eevee to Umbreon (split)
- Slowpoke to Slowking (split)
- Onix to Steelix
- Scyther to Scizor
- Seadra to Kingdra
- Porygon to Porygon 2
- Chansey to Blissey
So, yeah, start saving that candy and getting those high-stat Pokémon ready to evolve!
