Pokémon GO Updates Route Cell Rewards, Map Icons and High-Stat Transfer Warnings

Pokémon GO has outlined a set of gameplay and quality-of-life updates. Zygarde Cells discovered on a Route are now granted as a reward when the Route is completed, rather than needing to be picked up from the map. The chance of finding them remains unchanged, and a Route may still yield no Zygarde Cells.

The Compass and Weather map icons have been combined into a dynamic icon: Compass appears while players rotate or zoom the view, and Weather appears at other times. Tapping Weather shows active conditions and boosts; tapping Compass toggles the viewing direction when it is visible on the map. A confirmation prompt now appears before transferring a Pokémon with maxed-out stats, and bulk-transfer warnings show the exact number of selected ★ 100% Pokémon. Map View spacing has also been adjusted to reduce overlap among wild Pokémon encounters, Gyms, Power Spots and PokéStops.
