Pokemon Unite’s Blissey patch finally nerfs eject button (Update)

Here’s the full vague notes

[Update: So the Pokemon Unite patch is live now, and over on the Japanese site, the notes are a little less vague. The eject button has been nerfed for an “increased cooldown,” with several other items [fluffy tail, X-Attack] getting “strengthened,” and goal-getter having a reduced cooldown. . Blissey costs 8,000 coins, or 460 gems.]

Pokemon Unite has had a few major lingering talking points since launch: Zapdos and held items are the big ones. But beyond that forest there’s a bunch of annoying trees, namely the fact that at high ranks, just about every player takes the eject button (teleport battle item). , which was revealed after Blissey’s announcement.

So first things first, the eject button was vaguely nerfed, and we’ll see soon enough when the Blissey patch hits whether or not it’s still the de facto item. Since the goal-getter, fluffy tail, and X attack battle items were buffed, it might help.

From a character standpoint, Crustle, and Garchomp were buffed, while Snorlax (one of the kings of tanks) was nerfed across the board, with his two most-picked talents getting stat decreases, and his unite [heroic] move seeing nerfs. Several other characters had midrange balance sweeps, including buffing underpicked talents while nerfing pꦗopular ones. A few are getting nothing but bug fixes, like Wigglytuff, Ninetails, Gardevoir, and Cramorant.

The Pokemon Unite patch is set to go live on August 18 at 7:ꦏ00 UTC.
