Changes at a glance
- Daily and weekly missions, medal/title achievements and public profiles are introduced. The original announcement counted 127 achievements; the October 13 patch later adds three Judgment goals.
- Held items and move evolutions arrive alongside enemies that heal, shield, summon others or explode.
- Rifts lead to 18 legendary arenas, one for each type. Weather and the type chart change combat advantages.
- Friend-list co-op supports up to four players. Leaderboards include daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time views.
- Permanent upgrades belong to each Pokémon, and region gacha uses earned tickets. The camera zooms farther out and enemies navigate around obstacles.
Where to use the new progression systems
Scroll sideways to read every column.
| System | What to do | Result to check |
|---|---|---|
| Daily/weekly missions | Open Missions, read the required activity and target, then claim a completed mission. | The mission is claimed and its tickets/coins are added; achievements are checked automatically instead. |
| Held item | Open an eligible chest and choose whether to keep the offered item or your current one. | Only one item is held at once; its benefit and downside should fit the active attack. |
| Move evolution | Reach that move’s maximum level and obtain its required run card, then select the evolution offer. | The required card is a run card, not a similarly named permanent upgrade. |
| Co-op room | Sign in, add the friend’s nickname, accept the friendship, then invite and join the room. | Both players appear in the room before the host starts; the maximum group size is four. |
