A new patch has arrived in Pokémon UNITE on the 7th of September, 2023, which has brought much-needed balance changes to many Pokémon in the game. Along with the much-needed balance changes, developers have introduced new Shop updates, event updates, and more. With the Pokémon Unite 1.12.1.2 Patch Notes, let us break down the September 2023 update in detail.
Pokémon Unite September 2023 Update: Balance Adjustments
Mewtwo (X)
Because of the good compatibility between her genes and Aeos Energy, she has an overwhelming presence in Unite battles. To calm things down a bit, the developers have made some downward adjustments to “Future Sight” and the Unite move “Infinity Psycho Burn”, so that the instantaneous damage caused by the move will be lower.
| Abilities | Nerfs |
|---|---|
| Ability Values | Vital point rate: 10% (level 5~), 20% (level 9~) → 5% (level 5~), 10% (level 10~) |
| Future Sight | Latency time: 7.5 seconds → 9 seconds Incapacity time: 0.75 seconds → 0.5 seconds A bug was fixed that made some Pokemon’s moves unusable. |
| Unite move: Infinity Psy Burn | Damage amount: 15% less Energy required: 20% more An issue was fixed where Pokémon using Fix Anything could be hit twice. |
Mewtwo (Y)
Similar to Mewtwo (X), developers have adjusted “Future Sight” and “Recover”, and the Unite move “Infinity Psycho Burn” will reduce the amount of instantaneous damage from the moves.
| Abilities | Changes |
|---|---|
| Future Sight | Maximum amount of additional damage: 2000 → 1500 Waiting time: 8 seconds → 10 seconds Incapacity time: 0.75 → 0.5 seconds A bug was fixed that made some Pokemon’s moves unusable. |
| Recover | Waiting time: 10 seconds → 12 seconds |
| Unite move: Infinity Psy Burn | Damage amount: 15% less Energy required: 20% more An issue was fixed where Pokémon using Fix Anything could be hit twice. |
Tsareena
Tsareena could not stand the damage from the unreachable things and was getting knocked out. The developers have adjusted the stats and “Triple Axel”, “Tropical Kick”, “Stomp”, and “Grass Slider” upwards.
| Abilities | Changes |
|---|---|
| Ability Values | Defense: 70~350 → 70~380 (Level 1~15) Special Defence: 50~285 → 50~310 (Level 1~15) |
| Triple axel | HP Recovery amount: 25% increase |
| Tropical kick | Shield amount: 20% increase |
| Stomp | HP Recovery amount: 25% increase |
| Grass Slider | Shield Amount: 20% increase |
Umbreon
The Snarl move was adjusted downwards.
| Ability | Change(s) |
|---|---|
| Snarl | Wait time: 9 seconds → 10 seconds Attack/Special attack reduction amount: 6% → 4% (per damage) |
Aegislash
Developers have adjusted the ability value upwards so that it can hit a heavy blow of steel.
| Ability | Change(s) |
|---|---|
| Ability Values (Blade form) | Attack: 223~357 → 258~432 (Level 7~15) |
Gengar
Once the Pokémon failed in a surprise attack, he was in a state of hands-up immediately. In the second half of the Unite battle, developers have adjusted the stats upwards, and they can once again sneak into the shadows.
| Ability | Change(s) |
|---|---|
| Ability Values | Special attack: 80~660 → 80~690 (level 1~15) Defense: 52~260 → 52~290 (level 1~15) Special defense: 38~190 → 38~210 (level 1~15) |
Pikachu
Developers have adjusted the 10 volts and thunder to give a fresh shock to Unite Battles.
| Ability | Change(s) |
|---|---|
| Thunderbolt | Waiting time: 8 seconds → 7.5 seconds |
| Thunder | Damage amount: 10% increase Waiting time: 8 seconds → 7.5 seconds |
Alolan Ninetales
Developers were able to use the high blocking ability and damage amount when combining “Snowfall” and “Blizzard” too often, so we adjusted “Snowfall” and “Fubuki” downwards.
| Abilities | Change(s) |
|---|---|
| Snow Avalanche | Waiting time: 7 seconds → 8 seconds |
| Blizzard | Waiting time: 7 seconds → 8 seconds |
