Attention Trainers! An update to Pokémon UNITE to resolve in-game bugs and add features has taken place. Details of this patch have been added to our Pokémon UNITE patch page.

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.
