Tsareena joins the battle in this new patch

The Pokemon Unite 1.3.1.2 update has landed and its patch notes have been leaked, bringing forth a plethora of changes including how to obtain Tsareena, balancing, as well as buffs and nerfs to various Pokemon.

Although newer as a game with its Switch release back in July, like many other MOBAs, Pokemon’s twist on the genre has been no stranger to updates. Be it small content refreshes that include cosmetic items and balancing, or an all-encompassing patch such as the 1.2.1.11 update — TiMi Studios hasn’t let up.

The leaked 1.3.1.2 patch notes claim various changes ranging from minor to major. Some of these changes include how to unlock Tsareena, ranked match performance system adjustments, shop updates, and more.

The following leak has been brought forth by Twitter user ElChicoEevee, revealing buffs and nerfs for several characters. Before we dive into that, though, let’s run through the general gameplay improvements you will notice.

Tsareena unlock

Unlocking Tsareena has come easily, as all players need to do is log in after the update on December 9. This will give accounts the proper license to play the grass-type Pokemon.

Pokemon Unite receives a big update

Rank changes

Reaching the highest rank at any game can be a daunting and difficult task. With the new patch, Pokemon Unite’s Master Rank rating has been adjusted, making it so it increases more easily. Master Rank players aren’t the only ones receiving some love, as the whole ranked match performance point system has been adjusted.

Players can now prevent the loss of a victory point after losing a ranked match. All they have to do is exchange a deduction in performance points. However, this will only be applicable if the number of performance points is past the gauge’s white line.

Goal changes

The HP recovered when scoring goals has been weakened in all battle modes and maps.

Remoat Stadium

The amount of Aeos energy dropped by opposing Pokemon when knocked out has been adjusted. On top of that, Sitrus Berries will disappear within five minutes of the battle starting. This effect will happen regardless forward goal zones have been destroyed or not.

To go with this, the middle goal zones have had their recovery and shield effects strengthened same with the base goal zones.
