Version 2.3.0 Release Date

Balance Adjustments

Version 2.3.0 Update - Balance Adjustments
・ Changes to certain Pokemon's main skills:
Ditto
┗ Before change: Charge Strength S
┗ After change: Transform (Skill Copy)
Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime
┗ Before change: Charge Strength S
┗ After change: Mimic (Skill Copy)

・ Adjustments to certain helper Pokemon’s helping stats:
Arbok
┗ Frequency shortened slightly
Pikachu (Holiday)
┗ Frequency shortened slightly
┗ Carry limit increased
Cramorant
┗ Main skill chance increased slightly
Comfey
┗ Ingredient finding chance increased slightly
┗ Main skill chance increased slightly

New main skills are being introduced for Ditto, Mime Jr., and Mr. Mime! Both Transform (Skill Copy) and Mimic (Skill Copy) function similarly, activating a random main skill of a helper Pokemon on the field when the skill triggers.

Several Pokemon are also getting adjustments to their helping stats to make them more viable helpers. All affected Pokemon that you have in your Box will have the changes automatically applied to them upon downloading the update.

New Features

Version 2.3.0 Update - New Features
・ Preparation for the Holiday 2024—Double Dream Shard Research event
・ Addition of a new Relaxing Sound, "Forest"

Version 2.3.0 will add a new Relaxing Sound you can use during sleep sessions as well as the 2024 Holiday event into the game, though the new Pokemon and event features will not be available in the game until the event starts on December 23.

Game Contents

Version 2.3.0 Update - Game Contents
・ Adjustments to the mission screen
・ Changes to the effects and description of the Metronome main skill
┗ Before change: Uses one main skill chosen randomly out of all main skills.
┗ After change: Uses one main skill chosen randomly from a large selection of main skills.

In this update, adjustments have been made to the mission screen to automatically show the weekly missions instead of event missions once you have completed all event missions.

The Metronome main skill will also be adjusted to only include selected main skills instead of all of them. This will likely remove the powerful main skills of Legendary Pokemon or signature skills of certain Pokemon from the pool of skills that Metronome can draw from.

List of All Main Skills and Effects

Other

Version 2.3.0 Update - Other
・ Adjustments to Sleep Point Exchange
┗ Beginning on January 1, 2025, 12:00 AM UTC, 1 Main Skill Seed will be included in the Regular Exchange
・ Some text adjusted or unified
・ Other small bug fixes and adjustments

A notable change in this update is the addition of the Main Skill Seed to the list of items being sold in the Regular Exchange shop. The Main Skill Seed is an item that increases the level of your helper Pokemon’s main skill.

Previously, the Main Skill Seed can only be obtained with a Premium Pass in the Premium Exchange or through certain events. Now that the Main Skill Seed will become more accessible, players can more easily improve the builds of their helper Pokemon.
