Among the other updates of the game is the addition of the gym battle screen and the ability to add the total amount of candies gathered with the help of a Pokemon buddy to the buddy's screen. The total kilometers traveled by the buddy can now be seen on the screen as well.

The Silph Road, a "Pokemon Go" blog site also posted some details about the changes made by Niantic on the game. These include the addition of avatar customization, shiny Pokemon variants, Pokemon Costumes, and Pokemon genders. But according to the blog site, there will be no new moves added to the game.

Based on the official patch notes from Niantic, the two updated versions of "Pokemon Go" will include a change to Professor Willow where trainers will now be able to transfer many Pokemon at one time to the professor. The game also added the Pokemon type icons to the Gym battle screen. The developers also made some minor text fixes on the game.
