Pokémon Go does not often launch a new Pokémon – and when it does, it’ll usually arrive alongside a wave of others, or at the start of a new month’s raiding cycle.
Not so last night, when the game quietly dropped Spinda as a brand new task reward, for landing three curveball throws in a row.
The spiral-eyed Pokémon (hence the curveball quest) had been one of the game’s handful of skipped species – unusual breeds with odd gameplay quirks which require more planning from developer Niantic than usual to implement.
