A new Pokémon GO update has been released for both Android and iOS, bringing its version to 0.33.0 and 1.3.0., respectively.

Here are the details:

  • Fixed achievements showing incorrect Medal icons.

  • Resolved issues with the battery saver mode on iOS and re-enabled the feature.
  • Added visuals of Team Leaders Candela, Blanche, and Spark.
  • We’re currently testing a variation of the “Nearby Pokémon” feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokémon UI.
