Understanding the October Stat Rebalance in Pokemon GO



On October 15th, 2018, we caught a glimpse of the stat changes Niantic has instore for Pokemon GO. Presumably, they rolled that stat changes back after encountering a bug where all the HP changes were treated as damage for nearly every single Pokemon. Once they figure that glitch out we should be seeing these HP and Def changes once again!

In this video I cover what exactly changed and what effect this has on our Pokemon. As far as an analysis on the big winners and losers of this stat change goes, Lorma96 and I are working on a detailed analysis of this. Some winners and losers are obvious, but we’re taking a crack at the finer details. Our analysis should be up within the week.
