It's obvious at this point that Pokémon GO is very much a work in progress. Aside from addressing the server issues the game still suffers from weeks after release, it's been said in the past that the game will eventually see trading, expanded gyms and Pokéstops, and new Pokémon. Granted, all of this has yet to come to fruition, but dataminers have recently uncovered details that could potentially point to what we might be seeing next.
The details come via Pokémon Fortress -- a fan site dedicated to Pokémon GO -- so bear in mind that this should all be taken with a grain of salt. Here's what's been found:
- The Trainer Level Cap is 40.
- Egg's cap at Level 20, so if you get an Egg at Level 37 it'll still hatch at the same quality as if you were level 20.
- Wild Pokemon cap at Level 30, meaning after Level 30 everyone will find the same max CP Pokemon and it'll be a matter of spending the candy and stardust to upgrade them to your level's cap based on their CP arc.
- There is an achievement/badge rank above gold.
- Curveballs and Accurate Throws (Nice, Great, Etc) help with the capture chance of a Pokeball throw.
- There may be future Incubators that reduce the amount of kilometers needed before they hatch.
- Moves have an Accuracy and a Critical Hit Rate.
- Each unique Pokemon has it's own Capture and Flee rate.
- Move Damage may go up with Trainer Level.
- Pokemon become harder to catch as you level up.
- Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno are Legendary.
- Mew is Mythic.
- The Charge Meter is filled 0.5 for each 1 HP of damage dealt.
- To level from 39 to 40 takes five million experience, and going from 1 to 40 takes twenty million.
- Pokemon have a base Attack, Defense and Stamina (HP) - thus they do not have a Attack and Special Attack stat like in the 3DS games.
- Dragonite has the strongest base attack for non-legends, at 250.
- Mewtwo has a base attack of 284.
- Moltres has the highest base attack of the three legendary birds.
- Articuno has the highest base defense of the three.
- Zapdos is almost as high as Moltres in base attack but is likely lower due to Type Advantage.
- Pokemon have an evolution modifier and an HP modifier. When the Pokémon evolves, both CP and HP go up a set multiplier.
- Defending Pokemon at a Gym attack the player's Pokémon every 1.5 seconds.
- The Master Ball is in the game.
- The Legendary Pokemon do have a spawn rate, but no capture rate.
- STAB is present in the game, giving a 25% Bonus to an attack move.
What do you think? How will Legendary Pokémon be handled in the future? Do you think you'll ever make it to level 40? Drop us a comment in the section below

I wonder when or if they'll ever add the other generations of pokemon.
@Yrreiht I've heard the johto Pokemon are coming by December. It would make sense, I feel like they're gonna have to add them in on a fairly regular basis.
Considering I'm not even at level 5 yet, I'm not too worried about hitting 40.
"Pokemon have a base Attack, Defense and Stamina (HP) - thus they do not have a Attack and Special Attack stat like in the 3DS games." Hold on a second, How come their regular attack has a stat number and then their special attack SP, has a stat number? huh? huh?????!
Also as much as pokemon go is fun and junk, there are some poke punks roving about the streets now "team mystic=team rocket"
@Yrreiht as @MitchVogel said, December should have johto added, which is my favorite gen.
I like what I've read but I hope they add more items. Imagine if we had TMs and could use repels to hide common pokemon.
I'm level 23 now.
Wonder how you get the Master Ball.
So one master ball or nevermind, probably just one like the games. If it is one y'all better not miss😉
gen 1 baby! yeah!
@Yoshis95 Those are damage numbers for the moves, not the stats. The stats are hidden.
@Ultimategamer132 Lottery. Everyday, a lottery happens in the game. Each trainer can choose 5 different numbers. The person(s) who gets the exact/closest number gets a Masterball/ 25 Ultra Balls/ 200 Pokegold/ 10 Lures or something like that.
You know, the day that Masterball becomes available is the day social media explodes with stories about how it curved at the last second when they threw it, wasting it.
@Jayronauron Or how the Pokemon batted it away...
I'm at level 20 and I can say the Pokémon due seem to get harder and harder to catch even when using great and ultimate balls.
Brace yourselves, Pokemon Go has launched in Japan.
@MitchVogel That too. I seem to recall there was also some episode in the Pokemon anime where a Whiscash outright ate a Masterball someone chucked at it.
Hey, let's not forget about the more juicy details, like one nice method buried in the interface for communicating with the Pokemon Go Plus:
boolean notifySpawnedLegendaryPokemon(String str);
which most likely means you'll be able to encounter and capture legendaries, but only with PGO+. Also there's an unused code that lets the app run in the background and send notifications (most likely meant for the Go+ as well).
Besides, the code is not obfuscated in any way, so it's extra easy to revert the apk back to the Android project and check some nifty details and secrets.

When they add these three
they should be roaming like in original games. If people think GO is causing lapses of idiocy now, wait what would happen if people had to chase them around
@Piersen That's not a bad idea.... If the roaming Pokemon had set paths around the world that could be announced, or places where it was last seen, and people would have to chase them, that would be awesome. Or it could create chaos....
I was hoping for a max CP. Gyms are already about impossible to get thanks to people with 2000 plus CP. New people won't have a chance.
Interesting info.
I'm only level 8...
@Whopper744 Eh. Gyms are easy to get. Any halfway decent team can take down a 2,000 defender by itself, so you just need to whittle the prestige down until that's the only Pokemon left. The real problem is holding onto a gym for 21 hours. Because it is pretty easy to take down a gym with concerted effort, gyms just don't stay captured long enough to get the benefits.
@FantasiaWHT That definitely is an issue as well. I'll have them for 5 minutes a lot of times. Sometimes a few hours. I just know my wife who's highest is quite a bit below 1000 can't do much against someone has had played the game non stop since it was released and has five 2000 plus Pokemon guarding a gym (well five different people in that instance I guess, but yeah). I guess that's just the nature of a lot of online games though. The competive scene kind of knocks out those who are just casualy having fun sometimes (not saying they are horrible people for being good or spending all their time with a game. It's just the nature of the whole concept I guess).
@MitchVogel I dont know if it's all that important, but should anything mentioned about farfetch'd and ditto having spawn normally? Or that nothing was exactly found about region locked Pokemon?
I think I'm going to stick with the 3DS games. Go is heedlessly repetitive when considering progression.
I for one am really hoping that you won't actually have to travel out of state/country to catch certain pokemon. While i don't mind traveling locally, or getting out on my bike... If Mewtwo is only available in Times Square NY, I simply will not be able to get it and that would be extremely maddening. I guess worst case I can cheat, and spoof the GPS, I have a tablet that I wouldn't mind rooting.
Oh my, let's complicate the mobile version as we did with the handheld main series!!
@FriedSquid Time to chase after that Suicune into the highway
What I'd like to learn from dats miners is what kind of information gets sent when we transfer Pokemon.
Hopefully I'll be banned soon.
