bug fixes

Link Battles

Fixed a bug in linked battles where selecting a swap might fail to switch in the selected Pokémon before the selection timer reached zero, and subsequently causing the switching and the battle itself to behave abnormally.

Fixed a bug in linked battles where once the battle had less than a minute left, it would no longer display where it should.

Fixed a bug that occurred during chain battles where the trainer had less time to choose the next Pokémon depending on the move the Pokémon used when it fainted.

Battles

Fixed a bug where the Cud Chew skill would trigger again every two turns after the first trigger, contrary to what was written in the skill description.

Fixed a bug that occurred when Zorok was stuck while using his illusion ability to disguise himself as another Pokémon. On the “Check Status” screen, Taizu’s Zorok type will appear as the original type of the Pokémon it’s disguised as, rather than Zorok’s Tera type.

Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its hallucination ability to disguise himself as another Pokémon that had stagnated. This bug caused Zoroark’s type on the “Check Status” screen to incorrectly show as the Tera type that the Pokémon Zoroark is disguised as.

Fixed a bug in dual battles that caused the stats of Pokémon using moves to change. This bug caused stat changes to incorrectly occur twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with a move while the opposing Pokémon was behind the substitute.

Pokémon GO Connect

Fixed a major issue that caused the game to crash on screens used to pair with Pokémon GO accounts.

Other

Fixed a bug that affected Trainers who received Juan Zorok as a special early-buy reward for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet Zone Zero hidden treasures from the Mystery Gift screen without first seeing Zorok in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly shown as being registered with these trainers’ Pokémon.
