The Pok\u00e9mon Company has announced that a new update has been made available for the online battler, Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/a>. Unlike the usual patches and improvements, the purpose of this update it mainly about achieving a greater sense of balance in battles.<\/p>\n

Setting about solving this problem, the team have adapted many of the fighters’ moves so that the battles seem that little bit fairer. This includes adjusting cooldown periods between attacks, changing the damage dealt by certain moves and increasing\/decreasing defence stats where appropriate.<\/p>\n

This, of course, comes alongside the standard bug fixes and tweaks. All of the changes can be found in the full patch notes below:<\/p>\n
