Last night, Pokémon Go conducted a rare rebalance of its menagerie of monsters – a sweeping stat rework designed to target some of the toughest ‘mons seen most commonly in gyms.
Of course, being Pokémon Go, a bug saw the changes temporarily reverted. As of writing, the changes are yet to go live again.
Still, last night’s brief look was enough for fans over at Silph Road to crunch the numbers and work out who the big winners and losers from Niantic’s rebalancing act are. Chief among the changes are nerfs to gym kings like Blissey and Chancey. Hulks such as Snorlax and Slaking have also been hit, while Vaporeon and Aggron are also affected.
