The update, which includes the new support character Blissey, will feature some bug, text and shop fixes. The update will also make some changes to already existing stats and moves to rebalance the game and prevent any one Pokémon from being too powerful. Server maintenance will start on August 18 at midnight PT, or 3:00 a.m. ET, after which the update will go live. In order to apply the update to your game, make sure you restart the app if you previously had it in suspended mode. Players can visit the official website for the full list of changed moves and stats for different Pokémon and items.
The developers are consistently working to make the game more enjoyable to play, even adding a spectator mode in their last update. It continues to be one of the best online multiplayer games on the Nintendo Switch, and may just be the game of the year for some fans.
