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

Ranked Match Changes

Draft Mode Start Condition Change
The conditions under which Draft Mode begins in Ranked Match Series 32 will be as follows.

• When all 10 matched players are Master Rank or higher.

Balance Adjustments

Glaceon
Stats

• HP: 3200-6350 → 3200-6700
• Defense: 35-225 → 70-275
• Sp. Def: 25-180 → 64-230

Icicle Spear

• Damage: 10% increase

Freeze-Dry

• Cooldown: 8.5s → 7.5s
• Sp. Atk increase duration: 3s → 4s

Unite Move: Diamond Stage

• Damage: 20% increase

Glaceon had low durability even among Attackers and was often knocked out immediately when approached by opponents. Its stats have been improved to increase survivability, and Freeze-Dry and Icicle Spear have been strengthened to allow Glaceon to deal sustained damage.

Mewtwo X
Stats

• HP: 3500-7800 → 3600-8200
• Attack: 170-500 → 210-540
• Defense: 90-430 → 110-480
• Sp. Def: 90-340 → 110-390

Ability: Pressure

• Changed so that the Mega gauge is not lost when knocked out.

Teleport

• Movement speed increase: 20% → 30%
• Damage increase: 10% → 20%

Teleport+

• Damage increase: 20% → 30%

Since the last balance adjustment, Mewtwo X's win rate has remained low. The risk of being knocked out before Mega Evolving was extremely high, making it difficult to perform well. Its overall combat capabilities have been raised to make it easier to fight on the front lines, and adjustments have been made to maintain the gauge even if knocked out.

Mewtwo Y
Stats

• HP: 3400-6500 → 3400-6800
• Sp. Atk: 150-780 → 200-830
• Defense: 50-200 → 84-250
• Sp. Def: 50-180 → 82-230

Ability: Pressure

• Changed so that the Mega gauge is not lost when knocked out.

Teleport

• Cooldown: 11s → 10s
• Movement speed increase: 10% → 30%
• Damage increase: 10% → 20%

Teleport+

• Damage increase: 15% → 30%

Recover

• Cooldown: 11s → 10s

Like Mewtwo X, Mewtwo Y's win rate has remained low since the last adjustment, so the risk upon being knocked out has been reduced. Additionally, its mobility has been enhanced, allowing it to leverage its strength as an Attacker that deals damage while maintaining distance from opponents.

Ho-Oh
Unite Move: Rekindling Flame

• Required energy: 120,000 → 100,000 (Approx. 17% decrease)

The energy required to activate its Unite Move was high, limiting the number of times it could be used during a match. By reducing the required energy, Ho-Oh can now revive allies more actively.

Scizor
Stats

• HP (Scyther): 3100-6450 → 3200-6800
• Defense (Scyther): 45-300 → 92-360
• HP (Scizor): 3100-8200 → 3200-8600
• Defense (Scizor): 45-557 → 92-620

Boosted Attack

• Defense increase (Scizor): 40% → 50%

Dual Wing

• HP recovery: 10% increase

To further emphasize Scizor's characteristic resilience against physical damage, its durability has been improved to allow it to fight more tenaciously. At the same time, Scyther's durability and recovery, which were insufficient for fighting on the front lines, have also been increased.

Gyarados
Waterfall

• Shield amount: 30% increase
• Damage: 10% increase

Dragon Breath

• Basic Attack / Boosted Attack damage increase: 15% increase

To further enhance its explosive power after evolving, the sustained fighting capability from Waterfall and the basic attack damage after hitting with Dragon Breath have been buffed.

Tyranitar
Dark Pulse

• Additional damage: 35% increase

Ancient Power

• Cooldown: 11s → 10s
• Shield amount: 20% increase

As Tyranitar has struggled to be effective for a long time, the frequency and shield amount of Ancient Power have been improved. The additional damage when hitting the same opponent consecutively with Dark Pulse has also been increased.

Dhelmise
Whirlpool

• Cooldown: 6s → 5s
• Damage: 10% increase
• Third hit area of effect: 2.3m → 3.3m
• Changed so that Dhelmise can move while using this move.

Anchor Shot

• Hitbox diameter: 1m → 1.5m

Power Whip

• Damage: 10% decrease

Unite Move: Seaweed Snare

• HP recovery: 40% decrease

The usability of Whirlpool and Anchor Shot has been improved. Whirlpool can now be activated while moving, broadening tactical options. Anchor Shot's hit registration has been improved to fix situations where it appeared to hit visually but did not register.

Latias
Dragon Pulse

• Psychic projectile damage: 12% decrease

Mist Ball

• Damage: 10% decrease

Dragon Cheer

• Shield amount: 10% decrease

Latias was performing too well in both offense and support. Its ability to protect allies and deal damage to opponents have both been nerfed to balance it with other Supporters.

Darkrai
Boosted Attack

• Damage: 10% decrease

Dark Void

• Cooldown: 4s → 6s

Nasty Plot

• Time to recover a use: 3s → 4s

The combo of repeatedly putting opponents to sleep and attacking them one-sidedly was too powerful. The frequency of Dark Void and the burst damage from boosted attacks have been lowered to create room for opponents to counterattack.

Clefable
Moonlight

• Recovery amount: 5% decrease

Follow Me

• Shield amount: 10% decrease

The playstyle of using Follow Me to draw attention and hinder opponents, while safely returning due to high durability and recovery, was too strong for a Supporter. The recovery and shield amounts have been reduced.

Suicune
Stats

• HP: 3250-7400 → 3250-6900
• Defense: 70-340 → 70-290
• Sp. Def: 60-275 → 60-230

Ability: Pressure

• Shield amount: 10% decrease

Avalanche

• Damage: 15% decrease

Despite being an All-Rounder, Suicune was overwhelmingly powerful due to its combination of high damage, high hindrance capability, and durability. Its early-game offensive power and late-game durability have been reduced.

Alolan Raichu
Electro Ball

• Damage: 8% decrease

The burst damage from this move was high, and its ability to instantly KO opponents when placed in goal zones or grass was too powerful, so the damage has been slightly reduced. Mamoswine
Stats

• HP: 3280-9648 → 3450-9900
• Defense: 85-510 → 108-540
• Sp. Def: 65-379 → 96-410

Icicle Crash

• Damage: 10% decrease

Earthquake

• Time opponent is unable to act: 1.5s → 1s

The ability to deal damage while rendering opponents unable to act for a long time was too powerful, so the hindrance capability and damage have been reduced. In exchange, its durability has been improved to strengthen its role as a Defender that takes damage on the front lines.

Held Item & Battle Item Adjustments

Assault Vest

• Shield acquisition condition changed to: "When not receiving Sp. Atk damage for 15 seconds."
• Changed so that even if a shield remains, the shield amount recovers to max if the above condition is met.

Choice Scarf

• Cooldown: 12s → 8s

Drive Lens

• Cooldown reduction (at Lv.30): 4.5% → 3%

Accel Bracer

• Cooldown reduction (at Lv.30): 4.5% → 3%

Slow Smoke

• Duration: 3s → 3.5s

Goal Hacker

• Cooldown: 90s → 80s

Full Heal

• Cooldown: 55s → 60s

Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed.

• Fixed a bug where quick chat could not be used on ally goal zones.
• Fixed a bug where, when dealing damage with Garchomp's boosted attack, additional damage or held item damage would occur before the boosted attack damage.
• Fixed a bug where the second stage of Latias's Dragon Cheer could sometimes be activated even if there were no allies nearby.
• Fixed a bug where the cooldown of Gengar's Hex was sometimes not reduced even when hitting an opponent with a status condition.
• Fixed a bug where Vaporeon could move without stopping inside the area of Clefable's Gravity when using Aqua Ring and Flip Turn.
• Fixed a bug where a blue circle would appear around Glaceon when using Ice Shard.

Mega Hawlucha ex Spreads Its Wings in Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes

In this corner, a feisty Fighting-type Pokémon with a devastating finisher.

Mega Hawlucha soared right into the hearts of many Trainers when its Mega-Evolved glory was unveiled in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, its tremendous tenacity made even more magnificent with a glittering gold capelet and mask. Now, Trainers will have the opportunity to see the Wrestling Pokémon in action in the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s upcoming expansion, Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes.

Slam your opponent’s Pokémon, knock away any Stadium in play, and turn the tide of battle in one fell swoop with Mega Hawlucha ex’s Somersault Dive attack.


In this illustration by AKIRA EGAWA, Mega Hawlucha is the center of attention, taking a high dive from the skyscrapers and coming straight for the viewer. The vivid colors and dynamic angles take this action-packed moment to greater heights.

Mega Hawlucha ex boasts 250 HP, which may seem meager compared to some of its Mega Evolution counterparts, but its Tenacious Body Ability gives it a fighting chance—if you’re lucky enough to flip heads. If you do, Mega Hawlucha ex is not Knocked Out by damage from an incoming attack, and its remaining HP becomes 10, earning it a precious opportunity to launch a devastating counterattack.
