Balance Adjustments​

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

Trevenant​

Curse

• Movement speed decrease: 10%/14%/18% → 12%/17%/22%
• When the Curse gauge is full, the final burst of damage leaves opponents unable to act.

Pain Split

• Damage split to opponent: 25%/35%/45% → 30%/40%/50%

Horn Leech

• HP recovery: 12%/15%/18% → 15%/18%/21% of Max HP

To strengthen Trevenant's role as a Defender that hinders opponents and fights tenaciously, its moves have been enhanced. Adding an "unable to act" effect to Curse increases Trevenant's impact in team fights, while improvements to Pain Split and Horn Leech will allow Trevenant to stay on the front line for longer.

Tinkaton​

Smack Down

• Can now move while using this move.
• The swung hammer now also deals damage.
• Damage: 12% decrease

Ice Hammer

• Control change: Can now be aimed at a designated area.
• Damage: 20% increase

Thief

• Movement speed increase: 25% → 20%

Thief+

• Movement speed increase: 50% → 40%

The usability of Smack Down and Ice Hammer has been improved, allowing for more freedom in positioning. Accordingly, the damage of some moves and movement speed increase effects have been reviewed.

Venusaur​

Stats

• HP: 3300–6500 → 3300–6800
• Defense: 45–226 → 50–281
• Sp. Def: 35–169 → 50–240

Solar Beam

• Additional damage: 7.5% → 12.5% of opponent's max HP

Venusaur's durability for frontline engagement and its damage from the backline have been improved, allowing Venusaur to perform well as either a frontline or a damage dealer for the team.

Armarouge​

Armor Cannon

• Damage: 15% increase

Nitro Charge

• Shield amount: 15% increase

By increasing the damage of Armor Cannon and the shield from Nitro Charge, both moves are now intended to be viable choices.

Inteleon​

Stats

• HP: 3200–6300 → 3200–6550
• Defense: 35–225 → 35–260
• Sp. Def: 25–225 → 25–260

Snipe Shot

• Time until a use is recovered: 7.5s → 7s

Acrobatics

• Cooldown: 7.5s → 7s

To improve situations where Inteleon was easily knocked out, its durability has been increased. Additionally, the reuse time of its main moves has been shortened, making it easier to snipe from a distance and engage in hit-and-run tactics.

Delphox​

Nitro Charge

• Damage: 30% increase

Nitro Charge+

• Movement speed increase duration: 1.5s → 2s

To strengthen Delphox's ability to deal damage while maintaining mobility, the performance of Nitro Charge has been improved.

Mewtwo X​

Held Item Adjustment

• Now holds Mewtwonite X as a fixed item.

Ability: Pressure

• Attack, Defense, and Sp. Def increase upon Mega Evolving: 10% → 18%

Teleport

• Movement speed increase: 10% → 20%

Teleport+

• Damage increase: 15% → 20%

The explosive power of Mewtwo X's Mega Evolution has been further enhanced, causing its strengths to stand out even more. The usability of Teleport has also been improved, increasing its ability to pursue opponents.

Mewtwo Y​

Held Item Adjustment

• Now holds Mewtwonite Y as a fixed item.

Ability: Pressure

• Attack speed increase from basic attacks: Increased based on level → Fixed at 3%
• Attack speed upon Mega Evolving: Increased based on level → Fixed at 35%

Recover

• Movement speed increase: 10% → 30%
• HP recovery from basic attacks: 30% → 40%
• Shield amount: 10% increase

Recover+

• HP recovery from basic attacks: 40% → 50%

The attack speed increase has been changed from scaling with level to a fixed value, allowing Mewtwo Y to gain high attack speed from the early game. By enhancing the recovery and mobility from Recover, Mewtwo Y can now continue to deal damage more consistently.

Charizard​

Flamethrower

• Cooldown: 5.5s → 6s
• Movement speed increase duration: 4s → 3s
• Damage: Approx. 6% decrease

Fire Blast

• Damage: 12% decrease

Flare Blitz

• Damage: 20% decrease

Regardless of which moves were chosen, Charizard's damage output was extremely high, posing a major threat to the opposing team. Therefore, the damage of its main moves and their additional effects have been adjusted to create opportunities for opponents to counter.

Ho-Oh​

Flamethrower

• Damage: Approx. 17% decrease

Tailwind

• Damage: 15% decrease

Safeguard

• Cooldown: 5s → 6s

Ho-Oh's performance remained overly powerful due to its combination of high sustained damage, mobility, and defensive capabilities. Adjustments have been made to its primary offensive move, Flamethrower, as well as to Tailwind and Safeguard, which were especially dominant in the early game.

Zacian​

Slash

• Damage: 15% decrease

Play Rough

• Damage: 10% decrease

Zacian's burst potential with stored Aeos energy was too high, giving it significant influence, especially from the early to mid-game. Therefore, the damage of its main moves has been reduced to increase opportunities for other Pokémon to be effective.

Galarian Rapidash​

Psybeam

• Damage: 10% decrease

Dazzling Gleam

• Damage: 5% decrease

Galarian Rapidash combined high mobility with high damage, making it extremely difficult to handle depending on the opponent's team composition. Therefore, its damage has been slightly reduced to make it easier for opposing teams to counter.

Latios​

Dragon Pulse

• Empowered basic attack damage: 15% decrease
• Psychic projectile damage: Approx. 15% decrease

Considering the improved usability of Latios's other moves from the last adjustment, the damage of Dragon Pulse has been reduced to balance the move choices.

Improvements to In-Battle Communication Features​

The "Check it out!" quick chat can no longer be used on allied Pokémon, as it was often used for negative purposes to criticize teammates.

Bug Fixes​

The following bugs have been fixed.

• Fixed a bug where damage from the held item Rocky Helmet was reducing the cooldown of Lucario's Extreme Speed and Trevenant's Natural Cure ability.
• Fixed a bug where the additional damage based on missing HP from Meowscarada's Flower Trick was calculated before the move's base damage.
• Fixed a bug where the activation range of Alolan Raichu's Unite Move did not match the pre-activation indicator.
• The order of some Pokémon on the Pokémon list screen has been changed.
