The primary focus of this update is on Ho-Oh’s Unite Move, Rekindling Flame. Here are the detailed changes:
Unite Move: Rekindling Flame
- Area where feathers fall when allies are KO'd: Increased from a 25m radius to a 35m radius from Ho-Oh.
- HP amount when allies are revived: Increased from 50% of max HP to 60% of max HP.
Adjustment of required Aeos Energy for reviving allies:
- 1 Pokemon: 0-8 Aeos Energy
- 2 Pokemon: 9-16 Aeos Energy
- 3 Pokemon: 17-24 Aeos Energy
- 4 Pokemon: 25-50 Aeos Energy
- Required Unite Move gauge: Increased by 11%.
These adjustments aim to balance the constraints of Ho-Oh’s Unite Move. The ability to revive ally Pokemon is a unique and essential element of Ho-Oh's gameplay experience. However, through the dev's daily observation of battle data, it was found that the usage rate of Ho-Oh's Unite Move was significantly lower than expected.
This low usage rate is likely due to an imbalance among the three constraints of this Unite Move: having KO'd allies near Ho-Oh, Ho-Oh having sufficient Aeos Energy, and a full Unite Move gauge.
It was further observed that there were many instances where players had a full Unite Move gauge but rarely found opportunities to use it. To address this, Pokemon Unite adjusted the balance between these constraints to create more scenarios where the Unite Move can be effectively used.
