Welcome to the latest One More Catch weekly newsletter, offering you a guide to the days ahead in Pokémon Go.

Lots of little interesting things going on this week. The headline is the debut of Minior, the Meteor Pokémon, which is rolling out to players in a very unique way on Monday. There's also a handful of new Dynamax additions - one far more interesting than others - while Sunday night is the latest Twitch stream giveaway, though it's rather poorly timed if you're not in the Americas...

So here's a snapshot of everything coming to Pokémon Go in the days ahead, the biggest opportunities available, and a roundup of Pokémon news and site updates you may have missed.

What to know about this week

Before we start - I'm trying a slightly shorter and snappier format that hopefully makes the week's highlights easier to digest. Let me know what you think - positive, negative or plain ambivalent - in the comments or over email.
