While Pokemon Go fans are used to asking for new features, one potential incoming addition has people excited, and it’s a surprisingly small QOL improvement fans have wanted for years.

It’s no surprise to see Pokemon Go fans asking for new features, as after seven years on the market, many players hope for a shakeup to keep the mobile game interesting and engaging.

However, sometimes even the smallest change can make a big difference, especially if it helps speed up play, or just generally make life easier for the most dedicated of Pokemon Go trainers.

According to some whispers in the community, one such feature may be on the way, and people seem thrilled about how this potential change could change battles and raids.

Pokemon Go leaks may hint at bulk healing options

Major disclaimer, this information comes from a data mine, which is both unofficial and unreliable. This does not in any way mean this feature is coming to Pokemon Go, but it may hint at a future inclusion.

An account on X (Twitter) known as Pokemodgroup has shared a post, which has found data in Pokemon Go with the text reading “BULK_HEALING_SETTINGS” among others. Developers often leave text in games from tested and canceled features, but this could be an incoming mechanic.

Pokemon Go content creator Qshinys shares the post, with the comment, “I AM SO READY”. Then, when another person asks what this could mean, a user answers saying, “I’m assuming when using a potion you don’t need to click each individual mon. Just heal all (ie Bulk healing).”

Again, this is unofficial data from an unofficial source, but things like this have been right before. Currently, players must click on each Pokemon to heal them with potions, and must repeatedly click to use the item if more than one is needed to heal.

A handy “heal all” solution would certainly save time, especially for players aiming to use the same team again in raids.
