What was featured
- Clobbopus debuted, evolving into Grapploct with 50 Candy. The catch: it only appeared in the wild and field research once the Global Challenge goal was reached.
- Dynamax Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan debuted, with a shiny boost.
Matt's takeThe Hitmons were dead on arrival because Gigantamax Machamp makes them redundant. Clobbopus, though, now that's a Pokémon I was hyped for.
