The official 1.3.0 update patch for Pokémon Zhu/Violet has been released, fixing several online matchmaking issues and tweaking some of the game’s features.
The original content of the update is as follows:
Countermeasures for players who challenged the Taijing group battle for “Wave Dang Water” and “Iron Spotted Leaf” but caught an egg:
Players who participated in the Taijjing Group Battle of “Waves of Water” and “Iron Spotted Leaf” and caught eggs before updating “Pokémon Zhu/Violet” to Ver.1.2.0 were previously unable to catch “Waves of Water” or “Iron Spotted Leaf” again.
This problem has now been eliminated and players who have captured eggs will now be able to capture 1 each of “Wavey Water” and “Iron Spotted Leaf”.
Adjustment:
The period during which entries can be made to the “Partner Competition” has been changed for the “Online Competition” in the “Battle Arena”.
Before the change: You can apply for the competition until the start of the Partner Competition, after the change: You can apply for the competition until the end of the Partner Competition.
Fixed issue:
Matchmaking:
- Fixes an issue where selecting “Replace Pokémon” in online battles would not replace a Pokémon even if you selected “Replace Pokémon” at the moment before the time to select a command became “0”, and you might not be able to play or replace a Pokémon normally afterwards.
- Fix an issue where the time remaining in a battle may not be displayed on the screen that should show the time remaining in a battle when the time remaining in the battle is less than 60 seconds in a connected battle.
- Fixes an issue where certain moves being used at the same time may cause the player to choose the next Pokémon for a shorter period of time when the Pokémon is in near death in Connected Battles.
Matchmaking:
- Fixes an issue where the activation status of the trait “Regurgitate” did not match the description text, and once activated it would activate again every 2 rounds.
- Fixes an issue where the original attributes of the Pokémon that Zoroark transformed into were displayed on the “View Status” screen when Zoroark transformed into another Pokémon with the characteristic “Illusion” to taijutsu.
- Fixes an issue where the taijin properties of a Pokémon that Zoroark transformed into were displayed on the “View Status” screen when Zoroark transformed into a Pokémon that had already been taijinized with the characteristic “Illusion”.
- Fixes an issue where if you hit 2 opponent Pokémon with a move that causes your ability to change during a Doubles match and the opponent Pokémon is using a double, the outgoing Pokémon will change its ability 2 times.
Link to Pokémon GO
Fixed a major issue that caused the game to be forced to end when logging into Pokémon GO.
Other
- Fixes an issue where if you receive the Pokémon Zhu/Violet pre-order special “Zoroark (as Washing Jade)” from Mystery Gift before you have met Zoroark, Zoroark that should not be registered in the Pokémon artwork will appear as if it is registered in the artwork.
- Fixes several other issues.
Pokémon Zhu / Purple is a role-playing game developed by GAME FREAK as one of the first games in the ninth generation of the Pokémon series, first announced on 27 February 2022 and released worldwide on the Nintendo Switch platform on 18 November of the same year.
According to Pokémon, the pre-order numbers for this game were the highest in the series’ history. In the UK, it surpassed the record sales of FIFA 23 in its first three days of release, making it the highest-selling video game debut of 2022. However, the game suffers from a number of technical issues, including an erratic frame rate, frequent lagging, and data overflow from a single long play session.
