#POKEMON SLEEP NERF PATCH#
Kotaku contacted the developers for more context but didn’t hear back before publication.Īnother big adjustment isn’t even listed in the official patch notes. Rest - Makes the User fall asleep and heals all status effects. It’s just wild to see it changed after all this time. The status remains a great distraction and movement denial tool, and I’m sure folks will still get some use out of scoring points while opponents take a forced nap. Of course, that doesn’t mean Sleep moves are entirely useless. It’s strange to think such a significant bug survived for months without developer intervention, especially with it becoming such a major part of Wigglytuff’s meta game specifically. While both the English and Japanese patch notes refer to how Sleep worked previously as a bug, only the latter go into greater detail about how it was presumably supposed to function prior to today’s update.

The intentions behind this change are a little hard to parse. With this latest patch, however, sleeping Pokémon now wake up when hit rather than taking it lying down. It was a versatile ability too, as it provided a great way to escape from a more powerful Pokémon if you were caught behind enemy lines. Not only did it keep a slumbering opponent from acting for a set period, but that inaction also opened them up to potential beatdowns. Both saw a massive downgrade as the developers reduced the benefits of putting opponents to sleep.īefore today, the Sleep status was a massive tool in the Snorlax and Wigglytuff player’s repertoire. As usual, some Pokémon were helped and some were hindered, but it’s hard to argue that anyone was more affected than Snorlax and Wigglytuff. While fresh duds and some great quality-of-life changes are definitely exciting, today’s Pokémon Unite update also included a huge list of gameplay adjustments.
