Gen 5
There are a total of 156 gen 5 pokemon and Twitter user LeekDuck discovered 18 of these powerful pokemon from the recent update 0.153.0 that was rolled out on the Galaxy Store. "Pokemon Go" players have long been waiting for the arrival of these creatures in the game. Unlike other generations, the fifth generation pokemon is consists of original pokemon.
In other words, apart from Gen 2 pokemon, Gen 5 is the first generation not to introduce new baby pokemon or evolutions from other generations. Many Gen 5 pokemon have special conditions associated with their evolutions including high levels of friendship, specific Polemon trading, and a wide range of different evolution stones. In Gen5, there are 9 Legendaries and 4 Mythical Pokemon, which makes this particular generation the first ever to not introduce more Legendaries compared to the previous one.
