Pokémon Unite August 4 balance changes and bug fixes

It has been three weeks since the release of Pokémon Unite, a MOBA game set in the Pokémon universe.

Pokémon Unite has been released for the Nintendo Switch, and it is scheduled for release on Android and iOS in September this year.

The game has received mixed opinions, as many fans believe that Pokemon Unite is pay-to-win.

Still, despite several controversies, mostly in regard to monetisation methods, the game offers fun gameplay mechanics and the Pokémon Company has promised to improve the game together with the community.

The first step towards the improvement will come on 4th August, in a form of a big update with balance changes and bug fixes.

With this update, Charizard has received buffs for all of its abilities, as well as Talonflame, with the increased damage for all of its abilities.

Several other Pokémon received a few balance changes, but many of them are being fixed as their abilities and attacks were bugged, which resulted in them not working properly and rendering them useless.

Finally, the update also brings Spectate Feature, but only for testing, as it is not yet fully developed.
