Bug Fixes

  • 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.
