This is list of all bugs and errors in Pokemon UNITE for Switch and Mobile. Check here for all currently active bugs, fixed bugs from patches, as well as usual errors and issues you may encounter in-game.

List of Active Bugs

Rank Protection Card Bug

A bug is confirmed to exist in Version 1.10.1.2 where Rank Protection Cards expire prematurely even though the ranked series are not done yet.

Here are some steps that enables the bug to happen:

• A player acquires a rank protection card.
• The player accesses the ranked match lobby, commencing their participation in that season.
• Because the rank protection card acquired in step 1 was, at the time of acquisition, considered to be for the previous season, it expires. The rank protection card is automatically deleted, and the player receives one Aeos ticket attached to a mail message.

Pokemon UNITE is expected to fix this bug around mid-July. In the meantime compensation will be given out for those that lost their cards.

How to Avoid the Bug

To avoid the bug, players are encouraged to do these steps to claim Rank Protection Cards:

• A player needs to access the ranked match lobby, commencing their participation in that season.
• Afterward, the player acquires a rank protection card.

Compensation

• All players who obtained a rank protection card and lost it due to the glitch outlined above will receive a new rank protection card as compensation.
• UNITE will send the compensation via an in-game mail message within a few days of when Battle Pass Season 16 begins.

List of Fixed Bugs

Zoroark Night Slash Bug

In a Twitter post by Pokemon UNITE JP, there is a bug found on Zoroark's Night Slash. The bug occurs when players upgrade Night Slash during the jump attack, preventing the move from upgrading and being used normally.

This bug has been fixed since Version 1.7.1.11!

Version 1.7.1.11 Patch Notes

iOS App Store Purchase Bug

Acccording to the official Twitter account of Pokemon UNITE, an issue regarding in-app purchases not performing normally has been identified.

It has since been fixed since September 30, 2022.

Speed Flux Effect Bug

We experienced a bug or a strange interaction where the speed flux effect did not wear off even after destroying the first enemy goal. This happened when we played as Tsareena in a Quick Battle match. It eventually disappeared when Tsareena got defeated and respawned. The bug is confirmed to be related to Tsareena's Queen Ascendant.

As of the September 28, 2022's Version 1.7.1.7 Balance Patch, this has been fixed so Tsareena mains can now go aggressive!

Version 1.7.1.7 Patch Notes

Aiming Bug

According to Pokemon UNITE's twitter account, there is an existing bug that messes up with the targeting of your Pokemon: wild Pokemon are targeted unintentionally even if you're aiming another Pokemon via the Lock-on Feature. This also only happens when the Lock-On Feature is turned on.

The issue has since been fixed as of update Version 1.7.1.4 last September 9, 2022.

Version 1.7.1.4 Patch Note Updates (September 9 Update)

Download Error Workaround

A temporary workaround for this error can be made by re-installing the game again on your Nintendo Switch. Additionally, according to the official Pokemon UNITE Japanese twitter, you may follow these instructions to archive and update the Pokemon UNITE app to fix the error. It's in Japanese but here's how we archived and redownloaded the Pokemon UNITE software - and this worked for us.

2	Go to Manage Software and choose Archive Software.
3	Choose Archive to confirm.
4	Press OK when archive is complete.

Season Reward Bug is Now Fixed

Status	Fixed

We have seen reports that some players are not getting Aeos Tickets according to their highest Season Rank. This has been confirmed and since has been fixed by the Pokemon UNITE Team according to a recent tweet! Players affected will be compensated at a later date.

Using Greedent Does not Progress Defender Event Missions

Status	Fixed
Platform	Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch

According to Pokemon UNITE's official twitter account, there is a bug circulating that doesn't count Greedent as a defender when for certain missions under New Event Missions Part 2 or New Event Missions Part 3. Fortunately, as of Patch 1.2.1.10, the problem appears to be fixed!

October 26 Update: Patch 1.2.1.10

Greedent Defender Mission Compensation

Item	Amount
Item Enhancer	10
Aeos Ticket	650

Players who already bought a Greedent license will receive a notice of apology and compensation in their mail for the Defender mission bug. Though the message did not indicate what the compensation is for, we think this is for the Greedent bug not progressing the Defender missions. We also checked an account that does not have a Greedent license and saw that it did not receive the compensation. Therefore, we can say that the notice of apology is for this particular bug!

Drednaw Debuff When Attacking Zapdos

Status	Fixed
Platform	Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch

As of patch 1.2.1.7, the damage reduction bug appears to be fixed! This was not mentioned in any previous patch notes, so it is unclear when the fix took effect. Still, it is good to see that the issue is resolved.
