Wild Pokemon changes

My brother (lv 31) and I (lv 33) just found this lv 35 wild Growlithe. No powering up or altering of any kind. This is interesting and has two implications. 1: You can find wild Pokemon higher than lv 30 and 2: You can find wild Pokemon higher lv than you are allowed to power up.

The right weather seems to produce higher levels than usual. I'm guessing you and your Brother caught it during 'Clear' weather, which boosts fire types amongst others.

Yeah, it was the Sunny weather condition. Could be something to keep an eye out for.

I had noticed the first implication myself but the second one is REALLY interesting. I wonder if my sister at trainer level ~27 could encounter level 35 wild Pokémon... I've seen people report of lv 35 wild catches but not higher (so far), and thus I also wonder if that's the highest the boosted mons can be.

- Sarcastic note: It's funny that wild catchings above your level is something introduced by DraconiusGo. I wonder if they will sue Niantic for copying their system.

- Serious note: I guess that this is consistent with the previous ability of catching level 20 pokemon from raids at any trainer level above 5. Great news for our stardust reserves.
I'm not too sure that I find this system as balanced as it was before. But it doesn't bother me, it's a nice feature.
