"Pokémon GO" fans are now speculating that the second generation of the game is about to land soon after its code was unearthed from the latest game patch. This means that gamers should start hoarding candies now. These pocket monsters require 50 to 100 candies per evolution, and that is a lot of candy to be collected.

According to Pokémon Go Hub players should save Eevee candies as much as possible since the said Pokémon will soon be able to evolve into Espeon and Umbreon. Additionally, players can also expect second-generation evolutions like Kingdra, Porygon 2, and Scizo. Other notable pocket monsters that will receive evolved forms are Zubat to Crobat, Onix to Crobat to Steelix, Scyther to Scizor, Horsea to Kingdra, Porygon to Porygon 2, and Chansey to Blissey.

The upcoming generation will not only offer the second evolution but also alternate evolutions. Some of these pocket monsters are Oddish, Poliwag, and Slowpoke, which can evolve to Bellossom, Politoed, and Slowking respectively.

It is also said that "Pokémon GO" players should stock up on Porygon Candy. It is speculated that Porygon 2 will be a rare character among the second-gen, and it is advised to always bring it as a walking buddy.

Speculations also suggest that 12 Gen 1 Pokémon could be evolved into Gen 2. These will include Bellowsom, Blissey, Crobat, Espeon, Hitmontop, and Kingdra. It could also contain Porygon2, Politoed, Scizor, Slowking, Steelix and Umbreon.

Other reports also suggest that players should save Stardust, especially now that the game offers a daily bonus. A 5 to 15-minute walk will bring as much as 3,500 Stardust each week, plus the additional bonus that players can get if they were able to do it for seven consecutive days.

Meanwhile, it seems that Niantic, the game developer, is spawning more Lapras on the coastlines of regions in Japan that were affected by the tsunami back in 2011. The coastlines of the Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture have more of this water type Pokémon until Nov. 23 than any other place, in Japan. This move is said to help tourism in the area or an early taste of a new event to come, Forbes reported.
