A recommended set has been added to the battle preparation screen. You can automatically have recommended items from the items you have.

Added new sticky items, “Sneak Spoon” and “Rescue Food”, which expand the strategy of Unite Battle. You can buy it at Eosmart.

Matching immediately after the start of a series will now also take into account your rank in the previous series.

A set purchase shop has been added. You can move to the new set purchase shop by pressing the previous “Purchase Set” button.

The screen to select Pokemon before battle

The screen has been adjusted so that you can comfortably select Pokemon.

●Voice chat

Changed so that blocking voice chat also hides quick chat at the same time.

In order to adjust the balance of Unite Battles, we have made some changes to Pokémon abilities and moves.

▼Adjustment details

●Mafoxy

In order to show the presence of the move as the name suggests, we have adjusted the upwards of “Daimonji”. The damage of “Magical Flame” and the mobility of “Nitro Charge” in the second half of Unite Battle were too high, so we have adjusted them downward.
Daimonji	2nd hit damage: about 35% more
magical flame	Damage: about 10% less
Nitro Charge+	Movement speed increase effect: 75%→30%

●Garnight

“Psychokinesis” and “Psychoshock” have been adjusted downward because they dealt high damage consistently.
psychokinesis	Wait time: 6 seconds → 7.5 seconds
Psychokinesis+	Wait time: 5 seconds → 6.5 seconds
psycho shock	Wait time: 10 seconds → 11 seconds

●Efi

Now that it’s time to unleash the psychic power of the forehead jewel, we’ve made a special upward adjustment to the enhanced attack. If you have the natural prediction ability, you should be able to hit even farther away Pokemon, so we adjusted the range of “Psychic Shock” and “Speedster” upwards.
Attribute: Magic Mirror	Wait time: 45 seconds → 35 seconds Enhancement attack damage: increased by 40%
speedster	Range of attacks: Increased by 20%
psycho shock	Range of attacks: Increased by 20%

●Bangiras

The rampage when combining “Aku no Hado” and “Genshi no Power” was amazing, so I adjusted it downward before Mt. Theia collapsed. The power of “Stone Edge” was not enough, so we adjusted it upwards.
how about dark	Damage: 10% less
Power of Genshi	Wait time: 10 seconds → 11 seconds
stone edge	Damage: 10% increase

● Ulaos

As a result of being able to unleash a series of continuous attacks, at the same time, I got a continuous HP, so I adjusted “Suiryu Renda” downward.
water droplets	Recovery effect after using a move: 25% ~ 15% decrease (level 5 ~ 15)
Watermelon Renda+	Fixed a bug where the effect of shortening the waiting time of normal attacks after using a move was weak.

I am

The ability to protect allied Pokémon was too high, so we adjusted “Cotton Guard” downward.
cotton guard	Wait time: 9 seconds → 10.5 seconds

● Orlot

“Wood Hammer” has been adjusted upward so that it can also be used as a defensive type. The way damage was divided was somewhat unfair, so we adjusted it upwards.
wood hammer	Wait time: 6 seconds → 5 seconds Damage: 15% ~ 25% increase HP consumption: 7% of remaining HP → 5% of remaining HP Time to swing down the second hammer has been shortened
For the sake of pain	Damage dealt to opponent: 9%~17%→20%~30%

Pukurin

The “rolling” has been adjusted upward so that it is safe even if it rolls for a long time. The unite move “Star Recital” has been adjusted upwards to match the number of appearances of other support types.
to roll	Shield duration: 1 second → 2.5 seconds
Unite Move: Star Recital	Unite move gauge required: 20% less

● Kairyu

“Gekirin” and the unite move “Dragon Rush” have been adjusted upwards. I think it will get a lot of attention on Eos Island as well.
Gekirin	Enhanced Attack Damage: Increased by 10%
Unite Move: Dragon Rush	Required Unite Move Gauge: Reduced by about 20%

Fire row

“Brave Bird” has been adjusted upwards so that you don’t miss the timing of the charge.
brave bird	Wait time: 10 seconds → 8.5 seconds

● Zoroark

In order to make it a little more useful in the latter half of Unite Battles, we have adjusted the upwards of attacks, “Iai-giri”, and the Unite move “Nightfall Burst”.
Ability score	Attack: 160~670→150~700 (Level 1~15)
Iai-giri	Damage: 10% increase
Unite Move: Nightfall Burst	Required Unite Move Gauge: Reduced by about 10%

●Zeraora

spark

Fixed an issue where normal attack charges would sometimes not trigger after using a move.
