Pokémon UNITE Game Update - June 8th, 2023 - Version 1.10.1.1

It is now possible to update your game to the newest version. For a short while, it will still be possible to play the old version of the game, but you will not be able to access certain content. Matchmaking will likely take longer on the old version, so updating your game is recommended.

Notice regarding a bug

We’ve confirmed a bug that, at present, sometimes causes rank protection cards to behave as though they are for the previous season and therefore prematurely expire.

How rank protection cards and ranked match seasons work

• The period during which rank protection cards are valid is set for each player, and cards are set to expire at the end of the ranked match season that the player is currently participating in.
• After a ranked match season begins, a player’s participation in that season commences when they access the ranked match lobby.

How rank protection cards are acquired

• Battle Pass Season 15
• Battle pass level 4 no-cost reward (×1)
• Battle pass level 36 reward (×1)
• Battle pass level 56 reward (×1)
• UNITE Club membership benefit after the game updates on June 8 (×2)
• Battle Pass Season 16 (scheduled to begin on June 12)
• Battle pass level 4 no-cost reward (×1)
• Battle pass level 36 reward (×1)
• Battle pass level 56 reward (×1)

Steps that cause the bug to occur

1. A player acquires a rank protection card.
2. The player accesses the ranked match lobby, commencing their participation in that season.
3. Because the rank protection card acquired in step 1 was, at the time of acquisition, considered to be for the previous season, it expires. The rank protection card is automatically deleted, and the player receives one Aeos ticket attached to a mail message.

Steps that do not cause the bug to occur

1. A player accesses the ranked match lobby, commencing their participation in that season.
2. Afterward, the player acquires a rank protection card.

Until this bug is fixed, we ask that players please claim rank protection cards exactly as outlined above.

Compensation

• All players who obtained a rank protection card and lost it due to the glitch outlined above will receive a new rank protection card as compensation.
• We plan to send this compensation via an in-game mail message within a few days of when Battle Pass Season 16 begins.
• We ask that players please follow the steps outlined above to avoid the bug before they claim rank protection cards from the aforementioned mail message.

Note: Ranked Match Season 12 begins on June 11.

Bug fix timing We plan to fix this bug in an update around mid-July. How rank protection cards will work once fixed:


• The period during which rank protection cards are valid will be set on a per-season basis. They will only be valid in the specific season they are set for.
• Note: The set season for a given rank protection card will not change, regardless whether the card is acquired before or after a new ranked match season commences.
• Expired rank protection cards will be automatically deleted, and the player will receive 100 Aeos tickets attached to a mail message.
We apologize for the inconvenience this bug has caused.

Battle Updates

Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.

Zoroark:
Central Area Zoroark has been dominating the early stages of the Unite Battles due to its high mobility, damage, and recovery. Night Slash’s damage and healing have been nerfed, making it less likely to knock out opponents under goals.

Night Slash - Damage: 15% decrease. Cooldown: 8 sec. → 9 sec. HP recovery: 20% decrease

Buzzwole:
The Superpower+ → Smack Down → Superpower+ combo relied on the Muscle Gauge reaching max, granting full cooldown reduction for Smack Down+. This combo was almost a guaranteed KO, making Buzzwole a 1v1 beast that was nearly impossible to duel. Superpower and Smack Down have been nerfed, requiring several basic attacks to fill the Muscle Gauge for the second Superpower attempt.

Superpower - Cooldown: 7.5 sec. → 8.5 sec.
Superpower+ The muscle gauge reaching its maximum will reduce the cooldown by 3s instead of the full cooldown.
Smack Down - Muscle gauge increments per hit: 2 → 1
Smack Down+ Muscle gauge increments per hit: 3 → 2

Mewtwo (Mega Mewtwo Y):
The special attack growth has been nerfed, so that Mewtwo's damage will scale less in the later stages of the Unite Battles. Additionally, the damage caused by the Unite move, combined with Teleport’s damage buff, was excessive. Both Teleport and Unite Move have been nerfed.

Stats - Sp. Atk: 150-810 → 150-780 (Lv.1-15)
Teleport - Damage increase: 20% → 10%. Second teleport duration: 3s → 2s
Teleport+ Damage increase: 30% → 15%. Second teleport duration: 3s → 2s
Unite Move: Infinite Psyburn - Damage: 19% decrease. Time opposing Pokémon are left unable to act: 1s → 0.6s

Machamp:
Due to the lack of defense stats, Machamp’s primary tactic became avoiding confrontations and sneaking from behind. So that Machamp can face opponents head-on like a true champion, defense stats and Submission have been buffed.

Stats - Def: 98-490 → 100-510 (Lv.1-15). Sp. Def: 64-320 → 70-350 (Lv.1-15) Submission - Damage: 23% decrease

Snorlax:
Despite the limitations on attack and movement speed, the shield obtained was too small for Block. Therefore, Block has been buffed.

Block - Movement speed decrease: 45% → 30%. Shield: 50% increase

Aegislash:
There were many scenes where Aegislash couldn't attack while in shield form or kept receiving attacks in sword form right in the middle of the enemy. Adjustments have been made to Iron Head and Sacred Sword to enable quick form changes.

Iron Head - Cooldown: 7 sec. → 6 sec.
Sacred Sword - Cooldown: 7.5 sec. → 6.5 sec.

Gyarados:
Waterfall and Aqua Tail, which had low usage rates due to their unique control feel, are adjusted to better align with trainers' intentions. Additionally, knock-up has been added to Bounce to make it easier to hit the second stage of Aqua Tail.

Waterfall - Cooldown between moves: 0.3 sec.→ 0.07 sec.
Aqua Tail - Advance distance: 50% decrease
Bounce - Charged Bounce now knocks up opponents on hit.

Hoopa:
Since Trick was significantly less favored than Hyperspace Hole, Trick has been buffed for diverse support strategies.

Trick - Shield: 28% to 9% increase (Level 5 to 15). Movement speed increase duration: 2 sec. →3 sec.

Umbreon:
Even in its pre-evolution state, Umbreon had high defense stats, making it quite powerful from the early stages of Unite Battles. Therefore, defense stats while Eevee are nerfed. Wish has been buffed to make Umbreon a viable option as a healing support. Additionally, Foul Play has been buffed to dive into the opponents as a defensive type.

Stats - Def: 95-500 → 85-500 (Lv.1-15). Sp. Def: 70-400 → 60-400 (Lv.1-15)
Wish - Healing Amount: 20% increase
Foul Play - Movement speed decrease: 25% for 2 sec. → 30% for 2.5 sec. Second stage damage: 20% increase

Azumarill:
Whirlpool has been buffed since it had a relatively long cooldown. The Unite Move will now only target opposing Pokémon to prevent Azumarill from dashing toward wild Pokémon despite the trainers' intentions.

Whirlpool - Cooldown: 11 sec. → 10 sec.
Whirlpool+ Cooldown: 9 sec. → 8 sec.
Unite Move: Belly Bash - Now only targets opposing Pokémon

Crustle:
Crustle’s Unite Move could be interrupted by moves that prevent Pokémon from acting. This made it hard to use at the best timing with max stacked passive. The Unite Move has been adjusted to be more reliable in the middle of team fights.

Unite Move: Rubble Rouser - Becomes unstoppable for a short period at the beginning of the Unite Move

Espeon:
Since the damage output of Stored Power was too high for a move that is both safe and sure hits, its damage has been nerfed.

Stored Power - Damage: 10% decrease

Meowscarada:
Due to its ability to deal more significant damage compared to other speed-type Pokémon, base Attack Stats have been nerfed.

Stats - Atk: 160-660 →160-630 (Lv.1-15)

Eldegoss:
Boosted attack has been nerfed since its slowing effect was too high, which made Eldegoss one of the best Pokémon in the early stages of Unite Battles. While its main purpose was to protect allies, Pollen Puff and the Unite Move were dealing too much damage. Therefore, these moves have been nerfed.

Boosted Attack - Damage: 15% decrease. Movement speed decrease: 30% for 1.5 sec. → 20% for 1 sec.
Pollen Puff - Damage: 15% decrease
Pollen Puff+ Damage reduction: 20% → 15%
Unite Move: Cotton Cloud Crash. Damage: 13% to 17% decrease (Lv.9-15)


Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue with Buzzwole’s Smack Down, where grabbing an opponent mid-air with Superpower will also deal Smack Down’s follow-up damage.
• Fixed the issue with Trevenant’s Horn Leech, where the knockback distance was unintended.
• Fixed the issue with Greedent’s Bullet Seed, which could spit seeds during Slowbro’s Slowbeam.
• Fixed the issue with Miraidon’s Electro Drift, which caused unintended behaviors when the target was KO’d while charging the boosted Electro Drift.
• Fixed the issue with Zeraora’s Wild Charge+, which left an area that deals damage even after the move finishes.

  • Take part in these fun battles with Pikachu!
• Shop Updates
• Event Updates

Details

Trevenant
Its powerful synergy with allies' attacks in large-scale effects that leave opposing Pokémon unable to act led to high usage rates in tournaments. While retaining its characteristic of coordinating with teammates, the damage has been nerfed to make it more difficult to take down opponents alone.

Wood hammer

• Damage:18% decrease
• Cooldown: 8.5s → 9s
Curse

• Damage: 25% ~ 18% decrease (Level 5 to 15)

Hoopa
Its high usage rate in tournaments was due to the effective use of Trick and Phantom Force to enhance the team's mobility and provide healing at the same time. Since healing is not the primary effect, the amount of it has been nerfed. Trick

• Healing: 50% decrease
Trick+

• Healing buff to allies: 60% decrease

Leafeon
The high damage from Solar Blade made Leafeon one of the best Pokémon for securing last hits and picking up KOs, leading to early game dominance. Solar Blade's damage and Chlorophyll movement speed have been nerfed to reduce its impact in the early stages of Unite Battles.

Chlorophyll
• Movement speed increase: 20% → 15%
Solar Blade
• Damage: 13% → 9% (Level 5 to 15)

Mr. Mime
In the current draft mode, there are few options for support Pokémon that excel at healing allies. To provide more options, the healing amount of Power Swap has been increased.

Power Swap
• Movement speed increase: 8% → 10%
• Healing: 22% increase

Tyranitar
The excessive damage from Stone Edge and the high durability while in Sand Tomb allowed it to fight multiple Pokémon at once, making it difficult to deal with in ranked matches. The overall damage and durability while in Sand Tomb have been nerfed.

Base Stats

• Attack: 150 to 485 → 150 to 450 (Level 1 to15)
Sand Tomb

• Damage reduction: 25% → 15%
Stone Edge

• Damage: 10% decrease
Unite Move: Tyrannical Rampage

• Damage: 20% decrease

Scizor / Scyther
With the adjustment to the effect of the Muscle Band, its effect now activates twice when Technician activates, significantly increasing the damage dealt. To balance this, the cooldown of Swords Dance has been increased, reducing the frequency of Technician's activation.
Swords Dance

• Cool down: 7s → 8.5s
Miraidon
The damage dealt by Electro Drift was too high for a move that is difficult to avoid, so it has been nerfed.

Electro Drift
• Damage: 5% decrease
• Damage when empowered: 10% decrease

Blaziken
The effect of the ability Blaze was insufficient given the high requirement of five attacks for activation, so the HP recovery amount has been increased. Both Focus Blast and Blaze Kick have been buffed to make it easier to successfully chain consecutive attacks from the Unite Move to each respective move.

Blaze

• Healing: 5% of max HP → 7% of mad HP
• Healing under 50% HP: 7% of max HP → 10% of mad HP
Focus Blast

• Cool down: 9s → 8s
Blaze Kick
• Cool down: 10s → 9s

Slowbro
To enhance its ability to withstand more attacks as a defense type, the recovery amount and effects of its moves have been increased. Specifically, Scald has been buffed to better counter physical damage-dealing Pokémon.
Slack Off

• Healing: 1.5% max HP (6 times) → 2% max HP (6 times)
Surf

• Cooldown: 8s → 7s
Scald

• Effect of burn state reducing attack: 40% decrease → 60% decrease

Mimikyu
As a balance type often facing 1v1 situations, its durability was insufficient. Therefore, the HP recovery amount from Shadow Claw and the frequency of entering a defensive state with Play Rough have been increased.

Shadow Claw

• Healing: 20% increase
Play Rough

• Movement speed decrease: 20% → 30%
• Cooldown: 9s → 8s
Play Rough+

• Cooldown: 8s → 7s

Venusaur
Compared to Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb seems to underperform, the move's effects have been buffed generally.

Sludge Bomb
• Damage on hit: 20% increase
• Poison damage: 50% increase
• SP. Def decrease: 30%(1s) → 40% (2s)

Absol
The damage of Pursuit and Psycho Cut was low, making the risk of engaging the opponent significantly higher compared to other speed types. The damage of these moves has been buffed to reduce this risk, allowing for more opportunities to KO the opponent's Pokémon than before.

Pursuit
• Damage from the front: 22% increase
• (No changes to the damage dealt from behind)
Psycho Cut
• Blade damage: 50% increase

Garchomp
Despite being a Pokémon that requires a high level to evolve, its impact on the game even after evolution was insufficient. To enhance its strength when surrounded by opposing Pokémon, resistance to effects from opponents have been increased, and the effects of its moves have been buffed.

Stats
• Reduction rate of effects received from opponents: 20% → 25% (Level 1 to 15)
Earthquake
• Damage: 15% increase
Dig
• Damage: 10% increase
Dragon Rush
• Cooldown: 6s → 5s
Dragon Rush+
• Cooldown: 5s → 4s

Duraludon
While the win rate in ranked matches is within a normal range, the usage rate remains low. Duraludon has a clear advantage in quickly KOing Rayquaza, but a strategy focused solely on this makes the battle monotonous and diminishes the enjoyment of Unite Battles. To address this, we have made overall adjustments to its stats and moves, aiming to reduce monotony and allow Duraludon to actively participate in battles as an attacker proficient in defending goals and other objectives.

Stats

• Basic Attack Speed: 10% to 80% → 10% to 60% (Level 1 to 15)
Enhanced Attack
• Additional damage: 3% of max HP (max 1000) → 1.5% of max HP (max 500)
Flash Cannon
• When the move is used, attack speed increases by 100%, gradually returning to normal over 5 seconds.
• Enhanced attack additional damage: 3% of max HP → 1.5% of max HP
Dragon Pulse
• Damage when slightly charged: 14% increase
• Damage when fully charged: 15% increase
Stealth Rock
• When shattered rocks hit the opponent, a shield effect is granted.
• Number of hits before immobilization: 4 → 2
Unite Move: Revolving Ruin
• Now knocks back the opponent's Pokémon at the end of the move.
• Damage from the beam: 30% increase
• Continuous damage from the flame trail: 50% decrease

Battle Updates

Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.

Details:
Charizard
Charizard is famous for its large wings and scorching flames, which are most prominently showcased in its Unite Move, Seismic Slam. Unfortunately, using the Unite Move against an opponent in an unstoppable state result in failure, putting the move on cooldown and leaving Charizard vulnerable by needlessly closing in on the opponent.

In chaotic team fights, it is difficult to accurately identify the right Pokémon and timing to use the Unite Move. The performance of this high-risk Unite Move, prone to failure, has been diminishing Charizard's cool and enjoyable battle experience. With this adjustment, we believe that the risk of failing will be reduced, allowing Charizard to have more shining moments.

Additionally, the combination of Fire Punch and Flare Blitz has suffered from low damage and durability, which is problematic for a close-range fighting style. To ensure Charizard can KO opponents and maintain its durability when engaging in close combat, these moves have been buffed.

Unite Move: Seismic Slam

• Can now grab Pokémon that are in hindrance resistance or unstoppable status
Fire Punch

• Damage: 10% increase
Fire Punch+

• Cooldown reduction per basic attack: 0.3 sec. → 0.4 sec.
Flare Blitz

• Damage: 15% increase
• Shield: 20% increase

Pikachu
In recent Unite Battles, highly mobile Pokémon have been excelling, making it difficult to hit Thunder and Thunderbolt. To increase the chances of landing these moves, the cooldown time has been reduced.
Thunder

• Cooldown: 7.5 sec. → 7 sec.
Thunderbolt
• Cooldown: 7.5 sec. → 7 sec.

Clefable
Due to the low win rate caused by insufficient healing, Moonlight and Draining Kiss have been buffed.
Moonlight

• HP restoration: 10% increase
Draining Kiss

• Cooldown: 5 sec. → 4 sec.

Zoroark
The invincibility state gained during transformation with the ability Illusion was too powerful, allowing it to nullify the opponent's strong moves. The effect has been changed so that damage is no longer nullified.
Ability: Illusion

• Effects upon use: Invincible → Unstoppable

Chandelure
To help Chandelure, which has few defensive options, adapt to the current battle environment with many highly mobile Pokémon, the cooldown times for the defensive move Imprison and the Unite Move have been reduced. Additionally, the cooldown time for Flamethrower has been reduced to allow for more opportunities to use the move during battles.
Imprison

• Cooldown: 10 sec. → 9.5 sec.
Flamethrower

• Cooldown: 7.5 sec. → 7 sec.
Unite Move: Ignite Midnight

• Energy needed: reduced by 10%

Delphox
The damage of the ability Blaze has been increased to make it easier to feel its activation. The cooldown times for Fire Spin and Fire Blast have been reduced to make it easier to combo these two moves.
Ability: Blaze

• Damage: 30% increase
Fire Spin

• Cooldown: 7 sec. → 6.5 sec.
Fire Blast

• Cooldown: 7 sec. → 6.5 sec.

Talonflame
Compared to other Speedsters, the usage rate has remained low, so the ability Gale Wings has been buffed to enhance its mobility around the stadium. Additionally, the damage of Flame Charge, which was lacking, has also been increased.
Ability: Gale Wings

• Movement speed increase: 10% → 15%
Flame Charge

• Damage: 10% increase

Sylveon
The moves that can be learned early in Unite Battles were both very powerful, leading to a high usage rate in tournaments. Therefore, these moves have been nerfed.
Hyper Voice

• Cooldown: 5 sec. → 6 sec.
Mystical Fire

• Cooldown reduction per flame hit: 15% → 12%

Urshifu
Due to the continued low usage rate and win rate, Surging Strikes, Liquidation, and Throat Chop have been buffed to increase mobility and damage output.
Surging Strikes

• Cooldown: 12.5 sec. → 11 sec.
Liquidation

• Damage: 50% increase
Throat Chop

• Cooldown: 9 sec. → 7 sec.
• Damage: 20% increase

Ceruledge
Due to the lack of durability needed to continue fighting against opponent Pokémon, the stats and the healing amount of Bitter Blade, as well as the cooldown time of Phantom Force, have been improved to endure and avoid enemy attacks. The combination of Psycho Cut and Flame Charge had too low KO potential, so their damage output has been increased.
Basic / Boosted Attacks

• HP restoration: Increased by 5% of the damage dealt
  • Lv.1-4 20%, Lv.5-8 25%, Lv.9-15 30%
Ability: Weak Armor

• Damage from wounds: 50% increase
Bitter Blade

• HP restoration: 35% of damage dealt → 50% of damage dealt
Bitter Blade+

• HP restoration: 50% of damage dealt → 70% of damage dealt
Phantom Force

• Cooldown reduction on hit: 30% → 40%
Psycho Cut

• Amount of defense reduction: 50% to 31% increase (Lv.5-10)
Psycho Cut+

• Amount of defense reduction: 20% to 17% increase (Lv.11-15)
Flame Charge

• Attack speed increase: 20% → 30%

Dodrio
Tri Attack was dealing too much damage from a safe distance, so it has been nerfed.
Tri Attack

• Damage: 12% decrease

Mewtwo X
Psystrike excelled in both damage and hindrance effects, resulting in a high win rate. To reduce this frequency, its cooldown time has been increased.
Psystrike

• Cooldown: 8 sec. → 9 sec.

Mewtwo Y
The range of basic attacks was too long, allowing for attacks from a very safe distance. To add more risk, the range of basic attacks has been reduced.
Basic Attack

• Range: 7.0 meters → 6.5 meters
Basic Attack (Mega Evolution)

• Range: 8.0 meters → 7.5 meters

Cramorant
The high damage output and mobility were resulting in an excessively high win rate. While maintaining its power in skirmishes due to its mobility, the damage output in team fights has been reduced.
Unite Move: Gatling Gulp Missile

• Damage: 15% decrease

Falinks
The damage output when combining Iron Head and No Retreat was too high for an All-Rounder. Therefore, the damage output of these moves has been reduced.
Iron Head

• Damage: 25% decrease
No Retreat

• Attack increase: 40% → 25%
• Damage of basic attacks enhanced by Iron Head: 20% decrease
No Retreat+

• Attack increase: 60% → 40%

Meowscarada
When the ability Overgrow was activated during the use of the Unite Move, it allowed for excessively high damage and healing while in stealth. Therefore, both the Unite Move and the ability have been nerfed.
Ability: Overgrow

• Damage increase: 20% → 15%
• Healing from damage dealt: 20% → 15%
• Movement speed increase: 20% → 15%
Unite Move: Floral Flourish

• Energy needed: increased by 10%

Miraidon
Despite previous adjustments, the damage was still too high. To reduce the skill rotation rate, the cooldown reduction effect gained upon leveling up, the cooldown time of Electro Drive, and the damage of Charge Beam have been nerfed.
Status

• Cooldown reduction: 15% → 10% (Lv.9-12), 25% → 20% (Lv.13-15)
Electro Drift

• Cooldown: 11 sec. → 12 sec.
Electro Drift+

• Cooldown: 7 sec. → 8 sec.
Charge Beam

• Damage: 10% decrease
• Empowered Charge Beam damage: 10% decrease

Bugfixes
We have fixed the following issues:


• An issue where Falinks reduced the damage from multi-hit moves with short intervals, such as Duraludon's Dragon Pulse and Venusaur's Solar Beam, more than intended.
• An issue where Falinks did not experience a decrease in movement speed when retreating with No Retreat.
• An issue where the hitbox of Falinks' Megahorn remained even after Falinks was KO'd.
• An issue where Falinks received less healing than other Pokémon.
• An issue where the effect of Muscle Band did not activate twice with Lucario's and Mimikyu's enhanced attacks.
• An issue where Snorlax's Block+ had fewer pushback instances than intended.
• An issue where the effects of held items did not activate during Zeraora's enhanced attacks when its HP was low.
• An issue where Meowscarada's Double Team illusory copy followed targets outside of view.
• An issue where Metagross's Magnet Rise was not affected by Clefable's Gravity.
• An issue where Miraidon could not pick up berries with Electro Drift.
• An issue where the Energy Amplifier effect did not activate with Miraidon's Unite Move.
• An issue where the first player to select a Pokémon in Draft Mode had a shorter selection time.
• An issue where the healing reduction was doubled when Curse Incense and Curse Bangle activated simultaneously.
• An issue where the attack range faced left if certain chargeable moves were initiated while inputting a basic attack.
• An issue where the effects of held items and abilities only activated on the first hit when multiple Pokémon were attacked with a single basic attack.
• An issue where lag occurred on the Switch version when Mimikyu appeared on the screen.

Details
Ho-Oh
Unite Move: Rekindling Flame
• Area where feathers fall when allies are KO'd: Increased from 25m radius to 35m radius from Ho-oh.
• HP amount when allies are revived: Increased from 50% of max HP to 60% of max HP.
• Adjustment of required Aeos Energy for reviving allies:
  • 1 Pokémon: 0-8 Aeos Energy
  • 2 Pokémon: 9-16 Aeos Energy
  • 3 Pokémon: 17-24 Aeos Energy
  • 4 Pokémon: 25-50 Aeos Energy
• Required Unite Move gauge: Increased by 11%.

We believe that the ability to revive ally Pokémon is a unique and essential element of Ho-Oh's gameplay experience. However, through our daily observation of battle data, we found that the usage rate of Ho-Oh's Unite Move was significantly lower than expected. This low usage rate is likely due to an imbalance among the three constraints of this Unite Move: having KO'd allies near Ho-Oh, Ho-Oh having sufficient Aeos Energy, and a full Unite Move gauge.

We observed many instances where players had a full Unite Move gauge but rarely found opportunities to use it. To address this, we have adjusted the balance between these constraints to create more scenarios where the Unite Move can be effectively used.

Bugfixes
We have fixed the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where the attack boost duration of Ho-oh's Fly+ lasted longer than intended.
• Fixed an issue where Charmander's Ember did not increase movement speed.
• Fixed an issue where some moves, such as Trevenant's Wood Hammer and Talonflame's Unite move, would overshoot the target.
• Fixed an issue where some grab moves, such as Mamoswine's Ice Fang and Buzzwole's Leech Life, ended earlier than intended.
• Fixed an issue where the duration of the hindrance effects caused by some moves was shortened after the July 16th update.
• Fixed an issue where Chandelure during its Unite move could be seen by burned opponents.
• Fixed an issue where damage numbers were displayed when attacking an opponent in bushes.
• Fixed an issue where the time for Sableye to re-enter stealth after attacking was longer than intended.
• Fixed an issue where stealth opponents could be visible under certain circumstances.

Battle Updates

To keep the excitement of the intense battles from the Pokémon World Championships alive, we have implemented a minor balance adjustment focused on improving Pokémon and moves with lower win rates while preserving the strengths of key Pokémon in the current meta.


Details

Greninja
Attackers that primarily rely on basic attacks are designed to have modest power in the early game, with their true strength shining in the mid-to-late game. For Greninja, this characteristic was not fully realized, so its late-game attack has been increased to make its growth more apparent as it levels up. Additionally, the damage of the boosted attack after using Smokescreen has been buffed to improve its KO potential once it evolves into Frogadier. As for the Unite Move Waterburst Shuriken, the cooldown has been significantly reduced to make it easier to use for both attacking and retreating. However, the damage output has been nerfed in consideration of balance. These changes aim to improve Greninja's usability, as it relies on not being KO'd despite its low durability.


• Stats
  • Attack: 146-460 → 146-500 (Lv.1-15)
• Smokescreen
  • Boosted attack damage: 12% increase
• Unite Move: Waterburst Shuriken
  • Energy needed: 25% decrease
  • Damage: 20% decrease

Glaceon
While Glaceon's win rate and usage have been declining, the damage it deals per match is still at a satisfactory level. Therefore, the focus has been on enhancing its self-defense and crowd-control abilities.


• Ice Shard
  • Movement speed increase duration: 0.5s → 1s
• Freeze Dry
  • Movement speed reduction: 20% → 30%
• Unite Move: Glacial Stage
  • Movement speed reduction duration: 1s → 2s

Inteleon
The damage output of Liquidation was low, leading to a decline in both win rate and usage. As a result, adjustments have been made to increase its damage.


• Liquidation
  • Damage: 12% increase

Hyper Voltage - Ver.1.16.1.2 Patch Notes



Update Date/Time: 2024-9-5 at 07:00
Post-Update Version: Ver. 1.16.1.2


Update Details

• A new Pokémon is coming soon:
• Armarouge is headed to Aeos Island!
• Neo Street Style: Greninja available now! You can check out the battle pass for more details!
• Shop Updates
• Event Updates

If the app has not been updated on your device, please restart the app to apply this update. While the game is updating, you may not be able to connect to the server. If this occurs, please try again later. Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.


Changes to Battle Pass Rewards and Pricing

Starting from the 26th season, the Battle Pass will change rewards and pricing.

Changes in Rewards

• Additions
  • Holowear Effect Spray (Sparkle) for 14 days ×1
  • Bonus Energy Tank ×1
  • Aeos Coin Boost Card (1 day) ×1
  • Battle Point Boost Card (1 day) ×1
• Removals
  • Aeos Ticket ×120
  • Item Enhancer ×20
Changes in Pricing

• Premium Battle Pass
  • 490 → 690 Gems
• Premium Battle Pass Plus
  • 840 → 1190 Gems

Adjustments to Item Box

• Limit: 100 → 200

To adjust the balance of Unite Battles, we have made some changes to wild Pokémon, Pokémon abilities and moves, and held items.


Map Adjustments

Wild Pokémon in Theia Sky Ruins

• Experience points for Escavalier and Accelgor: decreased by 18%
• Experience points for Baltoy: increased by 33%

At the beginning of the game, when the opposing team steals the last hit on Escavalier or Accelgor, the resulting experience point difference can be too significant, potentially deciding the game's outcome early on. Therefore, we adjusted the experience points of wild Pokémon. The total experience points of wild Pokémon remain unchanged until the forward goal zone is destroyed.


EX License Changes

As announced in the 3rd Anniversary Producer Letter, the EX license classification will be removed in the September update. Along with this change, balance adjustments will also be made.

Zacian

• Basic Attacks
  • Additional damage from the ability Intrepid Sword:
    • 1st Hit: 3% of max HP → 2%
    • 2nd Hit: 4% of max HP → 3%
    • 3rd Hit: 4% of max HP → 3%
    • 4th Hit: 5% of max HP → 4%
• Agility
  • Shield amount when enhanced: Reduced by approximately 35% to 30% (Levels 7 to 15)

As an all-rounder that allows for diverse combat styles, Zacian had characteristics such as dealing additional damage based on HP to Defense types through empowered attacks and closing in rapidly on Attack types with Agility while gaining a large shield. However, as these features led to one-sided situations, adjustments were made.

Ho-oh

• Ability: Regenerator
  • HP Recovery: Every 2 seconds, 0.4% of max HP → 0.3%
  • HP Recovery out of combat: Every 2 seconds, 4% of max HP → 3%
• Tailwind
  • Damage: reduced by 20%
• Fire Spin
  • Cooldown: 8s → 8.5s
• Sky Attack
  • Cooldown: 7s → 8.5s
• Fly
  • Cooldown: 7s → 8s
• Unite Move: Rekindling Flame
  • Allied Pokémon will now leave a feather mark after learning the move.

At the beginning of the battle, the healing ability from the ability Regenerator and the last-hit capability on wild Pokémon from Tailwind were too powerful, so they have been nerfed. Additionally, the combination of the high shield from Fire Spin and the superior mobility from Sky Attack and Fly resulted in excessively high survivability. Therefore, the cooldowns of these moves have been nerfed.

Mewtwo X, Mewtwo Y, Miraidon
The adjustments made to these three Pokémon in the Shadowflame balance patch on 07/16 have brought them within the expected win rate range. No changes will be made in this balance update and they will continue to be monitored closely.


Battle Updates

Sylveon

• Hyper Voice
  • Area of Effect Angle: 35° forward → 120° forward
  • Damage: reduced by 8%
  • Cooldown: 6s → 5.5s
• Hyper Voice+
  • Now slows opposing Pokémon hit by the move.(The effect of adding an extra sound wave has been removed.)
• Draining Kiss
  • HP Recovery: Increased by 23%
  • Slow Effect: 20% for 1.5s → 50% (decaying by 20% every 0.5s) for 1s
• Baby-Doll Eyes
  • Now, it hits the targeted Pokémon.

The guaranteed hit of Magical Flame is especially effective in one-on-one battles. On the other hand, Hyper Voice can hit multiple opposing Pokémon, but its narrow effect range limits the situations where this characteristic could be utilized. To further highlight the contrasting performance of these two moves, Hyper Voice's effect range has been expanded while reducing its damage, making it easier to hit multiple opponents. This adjustment is expected to increase its effectiveness in team battles when using Hyper Voice.

Pikachu

• Visual Update
  • The visuals of Pikachu’s moves have been updated.
• Volt Tackle
  • Cooldown: 10s → 9s
  • Pikachu's movement speed is now increased for a short duration after using the move.
• Unite Move: Thunderstorm
  • Number of Pokémon struck by subsequent lightning bolts: 1 → 2

To improve move visibility and enhance satisfaction when used, the visual effects of Pikachu's moves have been refined. The Unite Move Thunderstorm had its first lightning strike hit all surrounding opposing Pokémon, but subsequent strikes only hit one target. This resulted in a slightly underwhelming performance; while the first strike offered thrilling potential for massive damage in the middle of the enemy team, subsequent strikes failed to deliver a similar impact. In this adjustment, the number of Pokémon hit by subsequent lightning strikes has been increased, enhancing the value of capturing multiple opponents within the area. Volt Tackle had a high-risk aspect, as the landing spot could be easily predicted. To make it safer to use, Pikachu's movement speed is increased for a short duration after using the move.

Gengar

• Dream Eater
  • Cooldown: 8s → 7s
  • Healing: increased by 20%
• Dream Eater+
  • Healing: increased by 23%
• Hex
  • Cooldown reduction when hitting a status-affected Pokémon:
  • 85% of the cooldown → 90% of the cooldown
• Unite Move: Invisible Shock
  • Required Energy: reduced by approximately 17%

Dream Eater often left players unable to act for a long time if the move was missed. To address this, the cooldown of the move has been shortened. Additionally, increasing the HP recovered reduces the risk of being KO'd, providing more opportunities for consecutive KOs. The reduced cooldown for reusing Hex allows players to KO opponents before being counterattacked and KO'd. To enable more aggressive attacks in the latter half of battles after evolving into Gengar, the required energy for the Unite move Invisible Shock has been reduced.

Buzzwole

• Leech Life
  • Cooldown: 8s → 7s
  • HP Recovery: Decreased by approximately 37% to 25%
• Smack Down
  • Cooldown: 7.5s → 6.5s

In recent seasons, Buzzwole's win rate and usage rate have been declining. To improve Buzzwole's ability to fight fluidly, the cooldowns for Smack Down and Leech Life have been buffed. Among these, Leech Life is one of the few moves effective against Pokémon with hindrance resistance. With this adjustment, Leech Life can now be used more frequently at the cost of reduced recovery, enhancing Buzzwole's effectiveness in countering Pokémon with hindrance resistance.

Ceruledge

• Bitter Blade
  • Damage: reduced by 16% to 0% (Level 5 to 15)
• Psycho Cut
  • Damage: reduced by approximately 14% to 9% (Level 5 to 15)
• Phantom Dive
  • Slow effect: 90% → 60%

Ceruledge exhibited high attack power and the ability to KO wild Pokémon quickly in the mid-game, often allowing it to maintain the advantage gained into the late game. Due to its high usage and win rates, the mid-game damage of Bitter Blade and Psycho Cut has been reduced. Additionally, the slow effect from Phantom Dive was so strong that it made the next attack nearly impossible for opposing Pokémon to dodge; therefore, it has also been nerfed.

Blaziken

• Stats
  • Critical Hit Rate: 10% → 5% (Level 5-7), 20% → 10% (Level 8-15)
• Fire Punch
  • Damage: reduced by 17%
• Fire Punch+
  • Damage: reduced by 14%

Blaziken was able to take down low-durability Attackers with just Fire Punch and basic attacks, so the critical hit rate and damage of Fire Punch have been reduced.

Slowbro

• Stats
  • HP: decreased by 0% to approximately 5% (Level 1-15)
  • Cooldown Reduction: 5% → 0% (Level 4-8), 10% → 0% (Level 9-15)

Slowbro's high durability allowed it to perform consistently well, leading to high usage and win rates. To address this, its HP has been reduced to lower its overall durability. Additionally, to decrease the activation frequency of the ability that restores HP, the stats to reduce the cooldowns of its moves have been nerfed.


Item Adjustment

Shell Bell

• HP Recovery on Move Hit
  • Level 1-9: Increased by approximately 15%
  • Level 10-19: Increased by approximately 20%
  • Level 20-30: Increased by approximately 33%

For a long time, the three stylish glasses have been the best-held item choices for special attack-type attackers, resulting in a narrow selection range. To enable more diverse strategies, the healing amount of Shell Bell has been increased. Even when there is no Pokémon on the team that excels at healing, Shell Bell provides recovery while fighting.


Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Dragapult's Unite move would target Ceruledge when it was hidden with Phantom Dive.
• Fixed a bug where Tyranitar could reuse Sand Tomb's second activation after exiting and re-entering the sandstorm area.
• Fixed an issue where Duraludon's enhanced attack damage cap applied not only to the percentage damage to max HP but also to the entire enhanced attack damage.
• Fixed a bug where Wigglytuff's Unite move Starlight Recital failed to remove poison from allies.
• Fixed an issue where Dodrio's footsteps were too loud.

Battle Updates

Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.


Alolan Ninetales

Due to a lack of mobility moves, limited self-defense options, and a not particularly long attack range, Alolan Ninetales has struggled to stand out compared to other Attackers, resulting in consistently low usage and win rates over a long period. In this balance adjustment, changes have been made to allow Alolan Ninetales to excel as an Attacker that supports the team and fights alongside allies on the frontlines. Its ability has been significantly buffed to better showcase its strengths in battle, and its defense and special defense have been increased to reduce the risk of getting close to opponents. Additionally, the cooldowns of Avalanche and Blizzard have been reduced, allowing these moves to be used not only for countering opponents but also for initiating attacks more effectively.

Stats

• Defense: 35-175 → 35-225 (Levels 1-15)
• Special Defense: 27-135 → 27-175 (Levels 1-15)
Ability: Snow Warning

• Cooldown: 8s → 4s
Avalanche

• Cooldown: 8s → 7.5s
Blizzard

• Cooldown: 8s → 7.5s

Machamp

The damage of Close Combat has been low, resulting in a continued low win rate, so it has been buffed. One of Machamp's most iconic moments is dealing massive damage by hitting multiple opposing Pokémon with consecutive punches during its Unite Move, Barrage Blow. However, previously the Unite Move had two stages-first boosting Machamp's stats, then unleashing the consecutive punches. This gave opponents time to scatter after the first stage, making it very difficult to hit multiple enemies with the punches. With this adjustment, the Unite Move has been changed so that Machamp can immediately start throwing consecutive punches upon activation, making it easier to turn the tide of battle.

Close Combat

• Damage: 10% increase
Unite Move: Barrage Blow

• Mechanics change: Now immediately unleashes consecutive punches upon activation
  • Note: The move description will be updated at a later time.
• Stat boosts upon activation:
  • Before: Defense & Special Defense +200, Movement Speed +5%, Attack +30%, Duration 10 seconds
  • After: Defense & Special Defense +250, Movement Speed +10%, Attack +25%, Duration 8 second

Armarouge

In battles where Armor Cannon and Psyshock are learned, the damage output was higher than expected, while the hindrance abilities were lower than intended. Therefore, the damage of Armor Cannon has been reduced, and the cooldown of Psyshock has been adjusted to be shorter.

In battles where Fire Spin and Flame Charge are learned, Armarouge demonstrated more durability than expected. As a result, the shield amount from Flame Charge has been reduced. Fire Spin has been adjusted to replace its defense and special defense boosts with a shield effect, making the defensive benefit more visible to nearby players while slightly reducing overall durability.

Armor Cannon

• Damage: 10% decrease
Psyshock

• Cooldown: 8s → 7s
Flame Charge

• Shield amount: 50% decrease
Fire Spin

• ● (New) Increases movement speed when used, with further speed increases when moving towards opposing Pokémon.
• ● (New) Each time the user deals damage, a shield effect is applied, which can stack up to 6 times.
• ● (Removed) Defense and special defense boosts on hit.
Fire Spin+

• ● (New) Grants a shield when using the move.
• ● (Removed) The movement speed boost upon hitting opposing Pokémon
• Fire Spin's description has been updated as follows:
  • "Has the user generate a fierce vortex of fire around itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and increasing the user's movement speed. When the user is moving toward Pokémon on the opposing team, its movement speed is further increased. Whenever the user deals damage, it receives a shield effect. This effect can stack up to 6 times.If the user hits opposing Pokémon with a basic attack, the duration of the vortex is increased. Upgrade: Grants the user a shield when this move is used."

Charizard

The damage dealt across all move paths was higher than expected, so the additional damage from basic attacks on burned opponents has been reduced.

Charizard's Unite Move, Seismic Slam, was made more versatile in a previous update, allowing it to be used on hindrance-resistant opponents, which improved its usability. However, this made the move stronger than anticipated, so the energy cost has been increased, extending the time it takes to become available. Additionally, Fire Blast's crowd control effect was strong for an All-Rounder, so the slow effect has been nerfed.

Basic Attack

• Additional damage on burned opponents: 50% decrease
Fire Blast

• Movement speed reduction: 35% → 30%
Unite Move: Seismic Slam

• Energy needed: 20% increase

Urshifu

By optimizing held items and emblems, Urshifu was able to use Surging Strikes continuously without any downtime. To introduce more opportunities for counterplay between uses of Surging Strikes, the cooldown reduction from boosted attacks has been decreased. In return, the damage of Surging Strikes has been slightly increased.

Boosted Attack (Rapid Strike Style)

• Cooldown reduction: 2s → 1.5s
Surging Strikes

• Damage: 6-5% increase (Lv.5-15)

Blastoise

Blastoise has sufficient durability in the early stages of battles, but its endurance in the later stages has been lacking, resulting in a low win rate. To allow Blastoise to continue standing strong in front of allies as a Defender in the later stages, the growth rate of its defense and special defense has been increased. Blastoise's durability during Rapid Spin has been significantly enhanced, enabling Blastoise to maintain the frontline more persistently than before.

Stats

• Defense: 100-600 → 100-650 (Lv.1-15)
• Special Defense: 70-420 → 70-455 (Lv.1-15)
Hydro Pump

• Cooldown: 7.5s → 7s
Surf

• Cooldown: 9s → 8.5s
Rapid Spin+

• Defense and special defense increase: 50% increase

Delphox

Due to consistently high usage and win rates in ranked matches, the damage of Mystical Fire and Fire Blast has been reduced. Mystical Fire

• Damage: 8% decrease
Fire Blast

• Damage on hit: 10% decrease
Fire Blast+

• Damage on hit: 9% decrease

Snorlax

To ensure Snorlax can continue protecting allies by absorbing attacks from multiple opposing Pokémon in late-game team fights, the defense and special defense increases provided by Block+ have been buffed. Additionally, the win rate and usage rate of the combination of Flail and Yawn were low, so both moves have been buffed.

Block+

• Defense increase: 25% → 35%
• Special Defense increase: 25% → 35%
Flail

• Movement speed increase duration: 2s → 3s
• Movement speed increase amount: 70%-30% (decreases by 10% every 0.5s) → 80%-40% (decreases by 10% every 0.5s)
Yawn

• Cooldown: 12s → 10.5s

Dragapult

When learning Phantom Force, Dragapult could quickly become too strong by stacking multiple KOs early in the battle, disrupting the balance. To address this, the attack increase gained from KOs has been reduced.

Phantom Force

• Attack increase per KO: 10 (up to 10 times) → 6 (up to 10 times)

Lucario

When Extreme Speed fails to hit its target, it would enter cooldown and leave Lucario unable to participate in battles for a long period, making it difficult to contribute. To help Lucario rejoin the battle more quickly, the cooldown has been buffed.

Extreme Speed

• Cooldown: 9s → 7.5s

Gyarados

Frequent engagements using Bounce and the high damage output from Dragon Breath's quick basic attacks have led to an excessively high win rate. To address this, the frequency of Bounce and the overall damage output have been reduced.

Dragon Breath

• Attack speed increase: 60%, 80%, 100% → 40%, 55%, 70%
Bounce

• Cooldown: 7.5s → 8.5s
• Damage: 10% decrease

Mamoswine

Despite being a Pokémon that becomes stronger in the later stages of battle as a Pokémon that evolves twice, Mamoswine had too much power in the early game, so Icicle Crash has been nerfed. Additionally, the crowd control duration when using moves like Earthquake, Ice Fang, and boosted attacks were too long, so the cooldown of the engage move, Earthquake, has been increased.

Earthquake

• Cooldown: 7.5s → 9s
Icicle Crash

• Damage of the 1st to 3rd hits: Approx. 10% decrease

Zoroark

Zoroark's win rate across all move sets has been low, so the damage of its primary moves has been buffed. Feint Attack

• Damage: 9% increase
Night Slash

• Cooldown: 9s → 8s

Dragonite

After evolving into Dragonite, the frequency of stunning opponents with boosted attacks from Outrage became too high, allowing Dragonite to attack with little opposition, disrupting the balance. To provide opponents with more opportunities to counterattack or escape before being KO'd, the damage and crowd control effects of Outrage have been nerfed.

Boosted attack

• Duration where enemies are unable to act (electric): 0.6s → 0.5s
Outrage

• Damage from boosted attacks: 10% decrease

Cramorant

The short cooldown and high rotation rate of Dive have allowed Cramorant to combine excessive damage with high mobility, resulting in a consistently high win rate. To reduce both its damage output and mobility, the cooldown of Dive has been increased.

Dive

• Cooldown: 1.5s → 2s
• Recovery time for charges: 5s → 6s

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where Tsareena's Unite Move, Queen Ascendant, would fail when used on Charizard in hindrance-resistant status due to its Unite Move, Seismic Slam.

Freezing Rush Pt. 2 - Ver.1.16.2.8 - Patch Notes

Update Date: 2024-10-31
Post-Update Version: Ver.1.16.2.8

Balance Updates
Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles. Lapras

• Stats
  • Defense: 90-550 → 90-625 (Lv.1-15)
  • Special Defense: 75-450 → 75-512 (Lv.1-15)
• Basic Attack
  • Healing Effect: 2% of max HP → 3%
• Bubble Beam
  • Shield Amount: 15% increase
• Perish Song
  • Damage: 15% increase
Lapras’s win rate has remained low since a significant nerf in the previous update. Its durability, healing, and shield abilities have been adjusted to help Lapras stay on the frontlines longer. Perish Song damage has also been increased to allow Lapras to have a meaningful impact even without all three hits connecting.

Blissey

• Safeguard
  • Shield Amount: 15% increase
• Helping Hand
  • Cooldown: 9s → 8s
  • Effect Duration: 3s → 4s
Safeguard and Helping Hand have been buffed due to low usage rates, enabling Blissey to better protect allies by providing immunity to hindrances and serving as a more effective support option.

Greedent

• Belch
  • Movement Speed Decrease: 15% for 1s → 40% for 2s (decreases by 10% every 0.5s)
  • Damage: 12% increase
• Bullet Seed
  • Cooldown: 5s → 4.5s
• Covet
  • Cooldown: 11s → 10s
• Unite Move: Berry Belly Dive
  • Energy needed: 10% decrease
Due to consistently low pick rates, certain moves' cooldowns and crowd control effects have been improved to enhance Greedent’s battle capabilities. This adjustment allows Greedent not only to roam the map independently, defeat wild Pokémon and score points, but also to dive into team fights, deal damage and apply crowd control effectively.

Azumarill

• Stats
  • Special Defense: 64-320 → 80-399 (Lv.1-15)
• Whirlpool
  • Cooldown: 10s → 9s
• Unite Move: Belly Bash
  • Shield Amount: 5% of max HP → 6.5%
With limited options for approaching opponents, particularly against ranged attackers, Azumarill’s Special Defense and Unite Move shield have been buffed. Whirlpool cooldown was also reduced for easier timing and usage.

Glaceon

• Stats
  • Defense: 35-175 → 35-225 (Lv.1-15)
  • Special Defense: 25-134 → 25-180 (Lv.1-15)
• Icicle Spear
  • Damage: 8% increase
• Freeze Dry
  • Damage: 8% increase
Despite the buffs applied in August, the win rate has remained low, so the damage has increased. Additionally, due to the challenging environment where Attackers with low durability are easily knocked out and struggle to perform effectively, their defense and special defense have been increased.

Espeon

• Stats
  • Defense: 35-175 → 35-225 (Lv.1-15)
  • Special Defense: 27-135 → 27-180 (Lv.1-15)
• Psyshock
  • Damage: 10% increase
• Future Sight
  • Damage: 10% increase
The combination of Psyshock and Future Sight has been lacking in damage, resulting in a prolonged low win rate, so these moves have been buffed. Additionally, due to the challenging environment where Attackers with low durability struggle to perform effectively, their defense and special defense have been increased.

Gardevoir

• Stats
  • Defense: 35-174 → 35-225 (Lv.1-15)
  • Special Defense: 27-138 → 27-175 (Lv.1-15)
• Psychic
  • Special Defense Reduction Effect: 20% → 25%
  • Damage: 10% increase
• Psyshock
  • Damage: 5% increase
• Future Sight
  • Damage: 5% increase
Gardevoir’s high damage potential is paired with limited mobility and self-defense, yet its damage output was insufficient to stand out, leading to a low pick rate. Damage for several moves has been increased accordingly while also raising Gardevoir’s defensive stats to aid in survival.

Mewtwo Y

• Basic Attack Speed
  • 1.1-1.4 → 1.1-1.5 (Lv.1-15)
• Future Sight
  • Movement Speed Reduction: 25% → 35%
  • Cooldown: 10s → 8.5s
• Recover
  • Cooldown: 12s → 11s
  • Healing Amount: 20% of damage dealt → 30%
• Recover+
  • Healing Amount: 30% of damage dealt → 40%
• Teleport
  • Cooldown: 12s → 11s
Mewtwo Y has had low win and pick rates since the nerf in July. Basic attack speed was increased to improve combat effectiveness, and cooldowns for Recover and Teleport have been adjusted to strengthen survivability through defensive moves rather than durability increases.

Zacian

• Sacred Sword
  • Defense-Piercing Effect: 20% → 10%
  • Attack Increase: 30% → 20%
  • Movement Speed Reduction: 30% → 20%
In high-rank matches, Sacred Sword has significantly increased Zacian’s win rate. Consequently, its overall effectiveness has been reduced.

Miraidon

• Charge Beam
  • Boosted Damage: 10% decrease
• Electro Drift
  • Boosted Damage: 8% decrease
• Parabolic Charge
  • Cooldown: 10s → 11s
Damage from boosted Charge Beam and Electro Drift remained high, so they have been further reduced. Parabolic Charge cooldown has also been adjusted to reduce the skill rotation rate, lowering overall damage output.

Ho-Oh

• Flame Vortex
  • Damage: 15% decrease
  • Shield Amount: 15% decrease
  • Cooldown: 8.5s → 9s
• Sky Attack
  • Cooldown: 8.5s → 9s
• Unite Move: Rekindling Flame
  • Energy Cost: 20% increase
The protective capabilities of Flame Vortex for both Ho-Oh and its allies were too strong, so it has been nerfed. In high-rank matches, players have become more adept at utilizing Ho-Oh's Unite Move to revive allies effectively, leading to a higher win rate. To balance this, the usage frequency has been reduced.

Pikachu

• Electro Ball
  • Damage: 5% decrease
  • Cooldown: 5s → 5.5s
• Thunder
  • Damage: 5% decrease
• Unite Move: Thunderstorm
  • Damage: 8% decrease
Due to its ease of use and strong movesets that make it effective against any opponent, Pikachu has had the highest pick rate this season. To address its near-mandatory selection or ban status.

Ceruledge

• Bitter Blade
  • Damage: 19% - 10% decrease (Lv.5-15)
  • Healing Effect: 10% decrease
  • Cooldown: 5.5s → 6s
• Bitter Blade+
  • Healing Effect: 15% decrease
• Psycho Cut
  • Defense Reduction Effect: 47% - 40% decrease (Lv.5-10)
• Psycho Cut+
  • Defense Reduction Effect: 33% - 29% decrease (Lv.11-15)
• Phantom Force
  • Damage: 15% decrease
  • Cooldown: 9s → 10s
Ceruledge’s power at Lv.5 often led to one-sided matches. Key moves, especially those affecting early-game performance, have been nerfed.

Armarouge

• Flame Vortex
  • Damage: 20% decrease
  • Shield Amount: 25% decrease
• Psyshock
  • Special Defense-Piercing Effect: 50% → 35%
• Armor Cannon
  • Damage: 10% decrease
  • Cooldown: 6s → 7s
Despite adjustments in the previous "Freezing Rush" update, Armarouge’s win rate did not decrease as expected. In particular, Flame Vortex and Psyshock had an excessively high win rate, so these moves were nerfed. Armor Cannon was also nerfed due to its excessive damage and high usage frequency.

Mega Mewtwo X

• Psystrike
  • Damage Reduction Effect: 25% → 15%
Psystrike's damage reduction effect was overly strong, so this move has been nerfed.

Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Blastoise’s Defense and Special Defense at Lv.7-8 were lower than intended following the balance adjustment on October 17.

Freezing Rush Pt.3 - Ver.1.16.2.9 Patch Notes



Update Date/Time: 2024-11-21 at 07:00
Post-Update Version: Ver. 1.16.2.9

Update Details

• Shop Updates
• Event Updates
If the app has not been updated on your device, please restart the app to apply this update. While the game is updating, you may not be able to connect to the server. If this occurs, please try again later.

Balance Adjustments
Changes have been made to Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.

Zeraora

• Spark
  
  • Cooldown: 10s → 9s
    
• Wild Charge
  
  • Cooldown: 10s → 9s
    
• Discharge
  
  • Shield Amount: 15% increase
    

The cooldowns for Spark and Wild Charge, which had low win rates, have been reduced to make consecutive KOs easier to achieve. Additionally, to compensate for Zeraora's lack of durability when diving into clustered opponents, the shield amount for Discharge has been increased.

Cinderace

• Stats
  
  • Defense: 50-250 → 50-268 (Lv.1-15)
    
  • Special Defense: 30-150 → 30-232 (Lv.1-15)
    
• Blaze Kick
  
  • Cooldown: 8s → 9s
    

As part of ongoing durability adjustments for Attackers, Cinderace's Defense and Special Defense have been increased. However, due to the consistently high win rate of Blaze Kick, its cooldown has been slightly increased for balance.

Goodra

• Power Whip
  
  • Cooldown: 8s → 7.5s
    
• Acid Spray
  
  • Cooldown: 8s → 7.5s
    
Goodra relies on moves to close the gap with opponents due to its lack of mobility. By reducing the cooldowns for Power Whip, which pulls opponents closer, and Acid Spray, which enables approach, it is now easier to position enemies within the range of its Gooey ability.

Darkrai

• Dark Pulse
  
  • Cooldown: 6s → 8s
    
  • Damage: 25% decrease
    
• Unite Move: Worst Nightmare
  
  • Damage: 25% decrease
    

Dark Pulse provides high damage while also granting invulnerability for an extended period, with short cooldowns limiting opportunities for counterplay. To address this, its cooldown and damage have been increased. The Unite Move's damage dealt within the nightmare state has been reduced, as players were often able to KO opponents by simply running around within the nightmare without direct combat.

Held Item Adjustments
Some held items have been adjusted based on win rates and usage statistics.

• Buffs
  
  • Assault Vest
    
    • Shield Amount: 9%, 12%, 15% → 10%, 15%, 20% (Lv.1, 10, 20)
      
  • Rocky Helmet
    
    • Damage Amount: 3%, 4%, 5% of max HP → 4%, 5%, 6% (Lv.1, 10, 20)
      
  • Rescue Hood
    
    • Healing and Shield Increase: 5%, 7.5%, 10% → 8%, 11%, 14% (Lv.1, 10, 20)
      
• Nerfs
  
  • Weakness Policy
    
    • Attack Increase: 2%, 2.5%, 3% → 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% (Lv.1, 10, 20)
      
  • Rapid Fire Scarf
    • Attack Speed Increase: 15%, 22.5%, 30% → 15%, 20%, 25% (Lv.1, 10, 20)
      
  • Slick Spoon
    • Special Defense Ignored: 9%, 13%, 17% → 9%, 12%, 15% (Lv.1, 10, 20)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Tsareena's Unite Move could be used against opponents in a hindrance-resistant state.
  
• Fixed an issue where Zacian could not use its ability during Darkrai's Unite Move effect.
  
• Fixed an issue where Darkrai's Unite Move was reducing battle item cooldowns.
  
• Fixed an issue where Psyduck’s headache gauge would fill to max during its Unite Move, triggering an unintended mysterious power that interrupted the Unite Move.

Balance Adjustments

In this update, "Next Step," widespread adjustments have been made. Pokémon that had limited opportunities to shine have been strengthened, while adjustments have been made to some Pokémon with exceptionally high win rates.

Blaziken

Psyduck
Disable
• Cooldown: 6s → 7s
• Damage: 20% decrease
• Cooldown Extension: 3s → 2s

Disable extends the cooldown of the opponent's most recently used move, but there were instances where opponents could not use their moves at all due to stacking Disable effects. By reducing the cooldown and the cooldown extension effect, there will be more opportunities for opponents to counterattack. Additionally, since Psyduck is relatively new, many Trainers were unaware that Disable could spread between Pokémon, resulting in repeated damage when staying close to allies under the effect. The damage is reduced to make it more appropriate for a Supporter-type.


Adjustments to Mechanics, Specifications, and Effects

Darkrai
Boosted Attack
• Range: 12m → 9m
Nasty Plot
• Adjusted to ensure that the added damage does not awaken sleeping opponents.
Unite Move: Worst Nightmare
• Adjusted the effect to lead opponents to a nightmare without obstacles.

Previously, Darkrai could activate boosted attacks from a safe distance outside of the opponent's field of view, so the range has been reduced. Additionally, the extra damage from Nasty Plot unintentionally awakened opponents, which has been fixed. In the nightmare of the Unite Move, there were instances where Darkrai or the opponent would be obstructed by walls, so the effect was adjusted to create a nightmare without obstacles.

Armarouge
Unite Move: Psykaboom
• Changed the attack range control during activation to movement input (left stick/direction panel).
Previously, after activating the Unite Move, players had to press the corresponding button again, which made it difficult to use. This was adjusted to make it easier to launch at the targeted location.


Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Darkrai's Unite Move would cause Comfey attached to the target to detach when hitting a Pokémon with unstoppable or hindrance resistance.
• Fixed an issue where long-duration basic attacks, like Charizard's or Ho-oh's, would be interrupted by rooting effects.
• Fixed an issue where Charizard's Unite Move would hit Pokémon in a untargetable state.
• Fixed an issue where some abilities would activate when entering the enemy team's slow zone.
• Fixed an issue where the screen would lag when checking Recent Views on the Switch version.
