The Pokemon UNITE patch 1.2.1.8 full notes have dropped, revealing a ton of adjustments for various Pokemon in the game. A few bug fixes for the ongoing Halloween event have also been implemented. Players will have to download the Pokemon UNITE patch 1.2.1.8 update and restart the app afterwards in order to play the game. The Pokemon UNITE patch 1.2.1.8 update is relatively small compared to other patch updates as it is mostly just about balance changes and bug fixes for the game along with refinement for the ongoing in-game event, the Pokemon UNITE Halloween Festival.
Mer Stadium takes on a fun new look for a limited time! During this time, pumpkins can be used instead of battle items in Mer Stadium. Toss these pumpkins at opposing Pokémon to stick them on those Pokémon’s heads!
The Pokemon UNITE Halloween Festival event is currently ongoing and will last until 7th Nov 2021.
A few bug fixes and content updates have been added. However, TiMi Studios did not reveal the specific details about the bug fixes and updates.
