So what does this Version 1.1.0 update add? Well we’d be better off asking the opposite as the update is packed with so much content that if you had or were close to fully completing the game (getting 100% complete on everything,) then be prepared to do a lot more for there is now a new League added, new events, new Magikarp patterns to fish up and there’s new Friendship Items, Food, Training methods and even new decorations.

Now if this was a news article, we’d then show you a couple of photos and that would be it, but instead this is a Guide, so here’s a Day One detailed run-through of all the new additions, plus photos:

The second Event (Research Money) can randomly happen after successful League Battles.

In Our Eyes Met, after a training session, a strange man may appear. You will be prompted to look into his eyes or not. Not looking will net you some Jump Power, but if you do look into them, you will be challenged to a surprise battle. Winning earns you Support Candy, whereas losing will cause you to lose Jump Power.
In Research Money, after winning, Mayor Karp will visit the player and offer you coins for collecting so many different kinds of Magikarp.
There are now 36 Events in total.

*Due to the fact Miketendo64 has yet to beat the Heal League, we are unable to provide you with further details pertaining to the newly added events.
