Details
Sableye
Sableye could too easily use Shadow Sneak to safely hide in stealth, so Shadow Sneak has been nerfed to give Sableye’s targets more opportunity to retaliate.
Shadow Sneak
- The time it takes from when the move is used until Sableye enters stealth: 0.75 sec. → 1.5 sec.
- Sableye now cannot enter stealth if it is left unable to act between the time Shadow Sneak is used and when stealth begins.
Urshifu (Single Strike Style)
So that Urshifu’s fists are used more for offense than defense, Wicked Blow has been nerfed. Ebon Fist’s ability to throw opponents was also too powerful, so it has been nerfed.
Wicked Blow
- Damage reduction while charging: 30% → 20%
Wicked Blow+
- Damage reduction while charging: 60% → 40%
Unite Move: Ebon Fist
- Damage: reduced by 25%
- Now, when no direction is designated, Ebon Fist deals damage to and throws only the designated Pokémon.
Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style)
Boosted basic attacks and Surging Strikes have been buffed so that Urshifu can continue attacking without interruption.
Flowing Fists took too long to reach its full power, so it has been buffed.
Boosted basic attack
- Move cooldown reduction: 1.5 sec. → 2 sec.
Surging Strikes
- Cooldown: 13 sec. → 11 sec.
Unite Move: Flowing Fists
- Number of times the user needs to deal damage in order to increase the follow-up attack’s consecutive blows by one: 3 → 2
Scizor
The mobility and attack power of Swords Dance was too strong, so it has been nerfed.
Swords Dance
- Cooldown: 5 sec. → 6 sec.
- Attack increase: 15% → 12%
Scyther
Scyther’s mobility was far too high throughout battle, so Dual Wingbeat, Swords Dance, and Green Illusion Dive have been nerfed.

- Cooldown: 5 sec. → 6 sec.
Swords Dance
- Cooldown: 6 sec. → 7 sec.
- Attack increase: 15% → 12%

- Stage two dash distance: reduced by about 20%
Mr. Mime
Mr. Mime has been able to contribute greatly in battle from start to finish. To reduce Mr. Mime’s capability in the second half of battle, Confusion, Power Swap, and Showtime! have been nerfed.
Confusion
- Damage: reduced by 15% (additional damage dealt when opposing Pokémon hit obstacles was not adjusted)
Power Swap
- Movement speed increase when linked to ally Pokémon: 15% → 10%
- HP restoration when linked to ally Pokémon: reduced by 15%

Gravity
- Time that opposing Pokémon are left unable to act: 0.5 sec. → 1 sec.
Hoopa
Phantom Force has been adjusted to make it easier for Hoopa to warp freely.

Rings Unbound was buffed so it can be more easily timed.

- Cooldown before ally Pokémon can return to the warp location: 15 sec. → 10 sec.
- Cooldown before Hoopa and ally Pokémon start recovering HP: 0.5 sec → 0 sec.
