“Some Pokémon acquired via unintended methods or illicit modification now cannot be used in Link Trades or Link Battles,” patch notes state. A datamine of the patch has given more detail, and suggests the game now checks for cloned Pokémon anywhere in your save data - so, in your game’s party, stored in a PC box, or left at the game’s Daycare Centre. The patch also adds the ability to battle other players using custom rulesets via the Colosseum on the second floor of a Pokémon Center, and expanded the maximum number of players who can hang out in Union Rooms to eight. Another datamine suggests support for Pokémon traded from the new Legends: Arceus game, as well as Home transfers, are on the way soon. This week will see a flurry of Pokémon announcements as the pocket monster franchise prepares for its annual Pokémon Day celebration on Sunday, 27th February. Will we see a Pokémon Legends: Arceus DLC announcement?
