Maintenance Period:
- Starts: 2024/10/24 05:30 UTC
- Ends: 2024/10/24 10:00 UTC
New Features
- Preparation for the Halloween 2024 — Double Candy Research event. Please see the event news for details.
- Addition of new alarms, “Berry Collection” and “Quiet Awakening”
- Addition of a new main skill, Disguise (Berry Burst). Mimikyu arrives on 10/28, and this will be its main skill.
Game Contents
- Addition of a pop-up notification when an incense is not used during sleep research and is returned to your bag instead
Balance Adjustments
- Adjustments to the target for main skill Energizing Cheer S. The probability of this main skill targeting the helper Pokémon with the lowest Energy on your team has been raised a bit more.
- Adjustments to certain helper Pokémon’s main skills and main skill chance:
- Houndour and Houndoom. Before change: Charge Strength S. After change: Charge Strength M. Due to these main skill changes, the main skill chance will be lowered slightly.
- Umbreon. Before change: Charge Energy S. After change: Moonlight (Charge Energy S). Due to these main skill changes, the main skill chance will be lowered slightly. This skill will still restore Energy to the user, but if a Great Success occurs, it will now also restore a small amount of Energy to a random Pokémon on your team.
- Notes: Main skill levels will be maintained after the update. Main skills of Pokémon you have already befriended will also change.
- Adjustments to certain helper Pokémon’s helping stats: Pikachu (Halloween) frequency shortened slightly.
