When you reach rank 20, you’ll be guaranteed to encounter Frillish, which is making its Pokémon GO debut! You’ll have a chance of encountering it on the rewards tracks for higher ranks, too!

At rank 19, you’ll now receive an Elite Charged TM.

You’ll also receive an Elite Fast TM as an end-of-season reward if you reach rank 19.

Frillish is all new to the game, which is exciting. It’s part of Gen V and is a ghost/water type. We will see if Frillish is viable in the meta eventually, but for now, go out and catch one! 

The addition of these new moves for Pokemon is sure to change up the meta in Trainer battles. Expanding the moveset of Pokemon is a good way to provide a nice change.
