Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation. It secretes a purple fluid to deter enemies. This fluid isn't poisonous—instead, it's super sticky, and once it sticks, it's very hard to unstick. Its body is covered in a sticky slime. It's very susceptible to dehydration, so it can't spend too much time on land. Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through. The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it's also surprisingly resilient. So, here it is, the sixteenth entry, Gastrodon

Pokémon Masters has put out some further details on future updates to the game.
First, they'll be updating Legendary Events again to reduce the number of replays required to get important items and adjusting rewards
Next, they're going to alter the Sync Grid system and are planning for future updates
They are going to start adding more difficult battles. The first are Legendary Arena where you have to battle against Legendary Pkémon. This lets you use many sync pairs and have the attack pattern change when the HP is lowered. This is to debut in the summer and they recommend powering up Water-type Sync Pairs
They're going to make content basd on the Elite Four and Champions
There will be more medals and achievements given in the future.
As seen in the trailer on Pokémon Day, they'll be adding Pokémon Eggs. This will let you be able to choose more Pokémon to team with your Player Character
They're working on a feature that will give you some boosts based on your team composition such as only trainers from Kanto or only Water-types
