Pokemon Go recently rolled out new updates for the game and fans are getting an early taste with all the catching bonus. Recently, a leak from the recent development reveals that Ditto and some other new Pokemon may be available soon. A post from The Silph Road reveals the recent data mine on v0.45.0 of Pokemon Go. The said leak talks more about Ditto and Gen 2 Pokemon soon coming to the game.

Updates:
The new patch involves, a new move "Transform." The new move is some charge or special move. No further details about the said move but, it's already included in the GAME_MASTER file with its animation sequences. The APK code is said to be the only addition since the game has been launched.

Another Update is that the Pokedex added Pokemon from #152 Chikorita to #251 Celebi. It was said that updating client-side updates (e.g. v0.45.1) will make the new species of Pokemon appear. Other Pokemon that are said to appear is Ho-Oh and Luiga, and much more. Also, the new sponsor GlOBE has been added in the new Pokemon Go Update. Also, the lockout system or anti-gym-snipping system, Quest system such as daily bonuses and weekly bonuses, and the Condolence Ribbon which Niantic placed for the passing of the Thai King.

With the introduction of Ditto in the game and the addition of new species, here are things you need to know:
1. Since Ditto is officially added to the game, the new move Transform is not appearing. Ditto is only capable of using Struggle, but speculation states that Transform will be an "occurrence" every time Ditto is in combat.
2. There is no move set data yet for the assigned species, and the move set is not yet appearing on the APK code.
3. A series of changes on the client-side is not possible.
4. These new species are starting appearing on your locations.

There's no update regarding the new moves and the Gen 2 Pokemon. One thing for sure, Niantic is getting a huge momentum, so expect a month or two, the new GAME_MASTER file will be complete.
