Theia Sky Ruins (Groudon)
● Points required to break goals
Goal Zone | Previous | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
Top First Goal | 70 | 80 | (+10) |
Top Second Goal | 90 | 90 | (No change) |
Bottom First Goal | 80 | 90 | (+10) |
Bottom Second Goal | 120 | 100 | (-20) |
To suppress one-sided matches that result from first goals being broken in the early game, the points required to break the top and bottom first goals have been increased.
● Groudon
- Flamethrower: Area of effect increased.
- Rock Tomb: Range increased.
- Precipice Blades: Area of effect decreased.
- Earthquake: Area of effect decreased.
Groudon's ranged attacks had a short range, which often caused it to lose its target and have its HP reset. To address this, the range of Flamethrower and Rock Tomb has been extended. Additionally, its close-range attacks had a wide area and powerful hindrance effects, making it difficult for melee Pokémon to attack while dodging. Therefore, the area of effect for Precipice Blades and Earthquake has been reduced to allow fighting while evading its attacks.
● Regidrago
- After spawning, the direction Regidrago first moves is now fixed toward the bottom path.
- Regidrago's movement range has been narrowed.
Because Regidrago's movement direction was random, it was difficult for teams to strategize and position themselves in the central area beforehand. Furthermore, its movement range has been narrowed to encourage team fights over Regidrago to occur nearer to the center of the map.
