bug fixes
Tera Raid Battles
- A bug may prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage done by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt while certain status conditions are applied, causing the Pokemon’s HP gauge to Pokémon Tera float in an unusual way. This has been corrected.
- A bug that caused all Pokemon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating they still had HP could occur in Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokemon with the Most Powerful Tag. This has been corrected.
- A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any entries into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon performed certain actions while the player was choosing the target of its move. This has been corrected.
- Errors can occur when someone logs into a Tera Raid Battle and sees a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been corrected.
- A bug may occur that causes players who enter a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles research screen to be taken into a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon other than the one they saw displayed. This has been corrected.
- A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop spawning for a certain amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been corrected.
battles
- Type combinations against Pokémon that fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
- We fixed a bug where a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion ability could have been identified as a Zoroark using the Check Target option.
- Fixed a bug where type matches for moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokemon via its Illusion Ability would be displayed based on the type of Pokemon Zoroark was disguised as, instead of Zoroark’s Tera-type .
- Fixed a bug where the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth would increase when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
- Fixed a bug where Destiny Bond’s effects would fail to activate if a Pokémon Terastalized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.
smooth after using Destiny Bond and then pass out, the effects of Destiny Bond will not activate. This is a bug and will be fixed.

After this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been corrected.
