Balance Adjustments

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

 

【Crustle】

• Rock Tomb

Duration opponents’ movement speed is decreased: 2s → 3s

• Unite Move: Rubble Rouser

Energy requirement: 120000 → 110000

To enhance the hindrance capability of Rock Tomb against opponents and make it easier for Crustle to fulfill its role as a Defender Pokémon, adjustments have been made. Additionally, its Unite Move has been adjusted so that it can be used more frequently.

 

【Buzzwole】

• Boosted Attack

Damage: 12.5% increase

• Superpower

Cooldown: 8s → 7.5s

Since it previously struggled to influence the outcome of Unite Battles with its bulked-up muscles, the damage of its boosted attack has been increased, and the cooldown of Superpower has been shortened, allowing it to fully showcase power capable of shattering dump trucks with a single punch in Unite Battles.

 

【Mewtwo Y】

• Basic Attack

Damage: 10% increase
Damage during Mega Evolution: 8% increase

As an Attacker Pokémon, its ability to deal damage was lacking compared to other Attacker Pokémon, making it difficult to perform in Unite Battles. To allow it to display immense power capable of crushing skyscrapers with just a slight telekinetic force, the damage of its basic attack—its primary means of offense—has been increased.

 

【Dodrio】

• Jump Kick

Cooldown: 6.5s → 6s

• Drill Peck

Damage: 8% increase

• Unite Move: Triple Trample

Energy requirement: 120000 → 110000

To allow Dodrio to utilize its high mobility to run around Theia Sky Ruins while performing more actively in Unite Battles, move cooldowns and damage have been adjusted.

 

【Articuno】

• Ice Beam

Movement speed reduction effect: 30% → 40%

• Unite Move: Ice Wing Whiteout

Damage: 10% increase
Damage required to destroy ice covering goal areas: 1000 increase

The slowing effect of Ice Beam has been strengthened to improve its long-range harassment capability. Additionally, the damage required to destroy the ice covering goal areas has been increased, strengthening its ability to defend goal areas.

 

【Moltres】

• Sky Attack

Defense and Sp. Def increase based on the number of opposing Pokémon hit: 8% → 10%

• Unite Move: Firebird Inferno

Damage: 10% increase

Since it was frequently knocked out due to insufficient durability when approaching opponents to attack, the Defense and Sp. Def stat increases gained when hitting opposing Pokémon with Sky Attack have been strengthened, and the damage of its Unite Move has been increased to improve its damage output.

 

【Alolan Ninetales】

• Boosted Attack

Damage: 8% increase

• Avalanche

Damage: 10% increase

As an Attacker Pokémon with hindrance effects, its low damage output made it difficult to perform actively. Therefore, the damage of its boosted attack and Avalanche has been increased to enhance its long-range offensive capability.

 

【Reshiram】

• Blue Flare

Damage: 10% decrease

• Boosted Attack

Unite Move Cooldown reduction granted by boosted attack: 15% → 10%

• Unite Move: Flames That Bring Lightning

Damage: 10% decrease
Shield amount gained on 3rd Unite Move activation: 20% → 10%
Movement speed increase gained on 3rd Unite Move activation: 30% → 15%
Move cooldown reduction effect gained on 3rd Unite Move activation: 30% → 10%
Buff effect duration gained on 3rd Unite Move activation: 6s → 4s

Because Blue Flare and its Unite Move dealt extremely high damage, and it could frequently gain the buff effects of its Unite Move—exerting overwhelming dominance from the mid-to-late game in Unite Battles—the move damage and Unite Move buff effects have been tuned down overall.

 

【Yveltal】

• Ability: Dark Aura

Damage increase per Destruction Counter stack: 3% → 2%

• Oblivion Wing

Damage: 5% decrease

Because the damage increase effect from its Ability and the damage of Oblivion Wing were overly strong, creating an oppressive one-sided pressure on opponents, its overall damage-dealing capability has been tuned down.

 

【Feraligatr】

• Waterfall

Cooldown: 6.5s → 7.5s
Shield amount: 15% decrease

• Crunch

Damage of Gluttonous fangs (Red): 10% decrease
Damage of Clamping fangs (Purple): 10% decrease

Because the mobility and durability provided by Waterfall and the extremely high damage of Crunch allowed it to perform too easily on the battlefield, the effects of each move have been tuned down.

 

【Greedent】

• Stats

Defense: 75–540 → 75–500
Sp. Def: 60–460 → 60–420

• Unite Move: Berry Belly Flop

Energy requirement: 90000 → 100000

Because its high durability allowed it to ignore opponent damage and repeatedly enter and exit enemy lines with excessive ease, its Defense and Sp. Def have been reduced, and the usage frequency of its Unite Move has been lowered.

 

【Comfey】

• Sweet Kiss

Cooldown: 6s → 7s
Duration opponents are infatuated: 0.6s + flowers consumed × 0.1s → 0.2s + flowers consumed × 0.1s

Because the hindrance of Sweet Kiss was extremely strong, often leaving opponents with no room to counterattack, the cooldown of the move and the duration opponents are infatuated have been tuned down.

 

【Garchomp】

• Dragon Rush

Cooldown: 5.5s → 6s

• Dragon Claw

Cooldown: 4s → 5s

Because the continuous hindrances and close-quarters combat capabilities provided by Dragon Rush and Dragon Claw were overly strong, the cooldowns of both moves have been extended.

 

【Duraludon】

• Flash Cannon

Cooldown: 5s → 6s

• Unite Move: Revolving Ruin

Energy requirement: 100000 → 110000

Since continuous long-range attacks were overly strong, the cooldown of Flash Cannon has been extended, and the usage frequency of its Unite Move has been lowered.

 

 

Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed:

    • Fixed a bug where Zoroark could score a goal while leaping during Night Slash under specific conditions.
    • Fixed a bug where hitting opposing Pokémon with Meowth’s Pay Day when Assurance was not learned would increase the gauge representing the number of times damage was recently dealt—an effect intended for Assurance.
    • Fixed a bug where players could instantly score twice in a broken goal zone caused by Zapdos’s Unite Move under specific conditions.
    • Fixed a bug where the second hit of Palkia’s Dragon Claw would fail to hit opposing Pokémon that were thrown.
    • Fixed a bug where Glaceon’s basic attacks would deal damage based on Attack when hitting unseen opposing Pokémon in tall grass.
    • Fixed a bug where Sirfetch’d would fail to learn Fury Cutter or Leaf Blade under specific conditions, leaving its move unchanged from Dual Wingbeat.
    • Fixed a bug where Gyarados and Mega Gyarados could charge a goal while using their Unite Move under specific conditions.
    • Fixed a bug where the stack display for Dhelmise’s Ability Steelworker and Inteleon’s Ability Sniper would show zero stacks if the camera was moved off-screen while stacks were accumulated.
