Post-Update Version: Ver. 1.20.1.3

Update Details

• Balance Adjustments
• Bug Fixes

Map Adjustments

Theia Sky Ruins (Groudon) - The experience points gained from knocking out Regidrago have been reduced.

It has been observed that when a significant amount of experience is awarded to one team in the early game, matches often become one-sided. To ensure that battles remain closely contested and enjoyable for both teams into the mid and late game, the experience gained from defeating Regidrago has been reduced.

Balance Adjustments

To adjust the balance of Unite Battles, some Pokémon stats and moves have been changed.

Pawmot Stats

• HP: 3250–7602 → 3250–9000
• Defense: 90–498 → 90–560
• Sp. Def: 65–338 → 65–400
• Attack Speed: 0–8% increase
• HP recovery from basic attacks: 0–15% → 0–20%

Volt Switch - Damage: 10% increase
Thunder Punch - Damage: 10% increase

Unite Move: Zip Zap Full-Charge Spark

• Now resets the cooldowns of Pawmot's other moves upon use.
• Range: 6m → 7m
• Gauge increase (Basic Attack): 6% → 8% when hitting opposing Pokémon
• Gauge increase (Move): 3% → 4% when hitting opposing Pokémon

Since its release, Pawmot was being knocked out more often than anticipated, making it difficult for Pawmot to utilize its key strength of sustained fighting. Additionally, the low usage frequency of its Unite Move, which was designed as a combat initiator, was also a major issue.

To address these two issues, this adjustment increases Pawmot's base durability and changes the specifications of its Unite Move, allowing it to be used more frequently and as an initiator for powerful combos. The expectation is that these changes will allow Pawmot to fight more tenaciously and succeed with the chain attacks initiated by its Unite Move.

Bug Fixes

The following bug has been fixed: Fixed a bug where Pawmot's Thunder Punch was also dealing damage to allies.
