Nintendo has recently announced a fresh update for Pokemon Unite, the 5-on-5 team battle strategy game. With this update, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are looking to reinvigorate the game and bring in more fans. The update comes with full patch notes that highlight the features and changes included in the game.
New Features
The new update comes with a range of new features for players to enjoy. This includes an improved tutorial experience, as well as new map layouts and functionalities. The tutorial has been made more engaging by adding leaderboards for each stage, which will reward players with bonus coins for getting a high score. For those who are returning to the game after some time away, there is also now an option to skip ahead through sections of the tutorial that they have already seen.
Along with these changes, Nintendo has also added new maps that change dynamically throughout battles. These maps feature different environmental hazards like mudslides or river rapids that can affect how battles progress strategically. Players can use these hazards to their advantage if they can predict how their opponents will move or strategize around it.
Balance Changes
On top of all the new content, Nintendo is also releasing balance updates for certain Pokemon abilities. Some abilities have been buffed or nerfed depending on how they were being used in battle by players. The aim of these balance updates is to make sure each species retains its unique strengths and weaknesses while avoiding any situation where one species dominates over all others.
For example, Pikachu’s Thunder Shock ability was buffed so it now hits multiple foes at once instead of just one. This makes it much more effective in group battles against multiple enemies as it can do damage to them all at once rather than having to target each enemy individually
