Adjustment Details
Changes have been made to some Pokémon stats and moves to adjust the balance of Unite Battles.
【Solgaleo】
Since Psyshock, an important move for launching attacks against opposing Pokémon, was easily canceled when hit by hindrances and its difficult-to-use mechanics made it challenging to perform effectively, adjustments have been made to improve its usability. Additionally, the duration of the Radiant Sun phase after activating its Unite Move—one of Solgaleo's defining traits—has been extended to allow it to perform more actively in Unite Battles.
Iron Head
- Cooldown: 6.5s → 6s
- Duration the second stage of the move can be used after hitting with the first stage: 2s → 3s
Psyshock
- Movement speed increase: 13％ → 18％
- Move execution is no longer interrupted when hit by hindrances
Unite Move: Shining Meteor Crush
- Duration of Radiant Sun phase: 10s → 15s
【Slowbro】
To allow Slowbro to hinder opposing Pokémon while obliviously enduring their attacks, its durability and hindrance capabilities against opposing Pokémon have been enhanced.
Stats
- Defense: 70–480 → 70–540
- Sp. Def: 60–420 → 60–480
Scald
- Duration of burning: 3s → 4s
Surf
- Cooldown: 7s → 6.5s
【Ho-Oh】
To enable Ho-Oh to perform more effectively as a Defender Pokémon in Unite Battles, adjustments have been made centered on strengthening its hindrance capabilities against opposing Pokémon.
Sacred Fire
- Hindrance duration: 0.6s → 0.8s
- Attack reduction from burn: 10％ decrease → 30％ decrease
Sacred Fire+
- Attack reduction from burn: 20％ decrease → 40％ decrease
Flamethrower
- Damage: 5％ increase
【Inteleon】
Adjustments have been made to align the reward of hitting with Snipe Shot with its difficulty, and to allow its Unite Move to be used more frequently so Inteleon can perform more effectively in Unite Battles.
Snipe Shot
- Damage: 10％ increase
Unite Move: Azure Spy Vision
- Energy requirement: 100000 → 90000
【Miraidon】
Since its damage output was underwhelming compared to other Attacker Pokémon currently active in Unite Battles, making it difficult to perform, move cooldowns and damage have been adjusted upward.
Thunder
- Cooldown: 10s → 9s
Parabolic Charge
- Cooldown: 11s → 10s
Electro Drift
- Damage: 10％ increase
【Morpeko】
Because the damage, shield capacity, and tracking capability of Spark while in Full Belly Mode were excessively high, and the power of Assurance was overly strong, each move has been tuned down.
Spark
- Damage of second stage attack during Full Belly Mode: 28％–18％ decrease
- Shield amount gained from second stage attack during Full Belly Mode: 20％ of max HP → 15％ of max HP
- Cooldown timer will now begin after the second stage attack is used or expires during Full Belly Mode, rather than immediately when using the first stage attack
Assurance
- Damage excluding additional damage against paralyzed opponent Pokémon: 15％ decrease
【Cinderace】
To better balance its self-defense capability and offensive power, the attack speed increase from Blaze Kick+ and the cooldown of Feint have been tuned down.
Blaze Kick+
- Attack speed increase: 45％ → 30％
Feint
- Cooldown: 9s → 9.5s
【Dragapult】
Because the recovery amount while using Dragon Dance+ was high, allowing a single move to achieve both offense and endurance, the HP recovery from basic attacks during Dragon Dance+ has been tuned down.
Dragon Dance+
- HP recovery: 25％ of basic attack damage → 15％ of basic attack damage
【Latios】
Because its ability to frequently target and hinder opposing Pokémon from long range with Telekinesis was overly strong, the cooldown of Telekinesis has been extended.
Telekinesis
- Cooldown: 7.5s → 9s
【Latias】
Since the damage increase based on Eon power accumulated when hitting with Dragon Breath was excessively high—granting damage-dealing capabilities exceeding even Attacker Pokémon—the damage increase per stack of Eon power has been tuned down.
Dragon Breath
- Damage increase per stack of Eon power: 0.5％ → 0.4％
Bug Fixes
The following bugs have been fixed:
- Fixed a bug where Solgaleo's Unite Move: Shining Meteor Crush would be interrupted if the targeted opposing Pokémon was shoved by Slowbro's Telekinesis or Snorlax's Heavy Slam before Solgaleo charged forward.
- Fixed a bug where opposing Pokémon hit by Armarouge's Unite Move: Psykaboom were thrown backward relative to their facing direction instead of outward from the created area.
- Fixed a bug where Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y would become unable to Mega Evolve, even after the Mega gauge was filled, if knocked out just before the Mega gauge became full.
- Fixed a bug where the visual effect intended to display when Palkia's Unite Move: Multi Dimensional Rend reached the maximum number of additional hits would also appear at unintended times.
