Game Updates

• Added a new item called ‘Insane Spinner’, which lets players playing on the Insane difficulty catch any quest Coromon. The Coromon you catch with this Spinner are stored in a hidden inaccessible storage, but can be handed in for quests
• Added a new difficulty setting which disables the catching of any Coromon
• Added a new difficulty setting that lets you select any Coromon as your starter, for those Swurmy Only runs
• Milestones 51-100 are now available
• Milestones 1-50 have been updated; if you’ve unlocked them already you can find the updated rewards in your inventory
• Revitaliser Gem now recovers 6% HP (up from 5%)
• Traits like Prepared will show an indicator for the user (not the opponent) to show when the effect is active
• Premonition now deals Ghost damage
• Burn condition now lowers the Coromon’s Special Attack stat by 30%
• Poison condition now lowers the Coromon’s Attack stat by 30%
• Sand Spout Skill Flash is now available in Vermeer Grotto
• Inspect Scent and Trait Scent have been disabled for online play
• Kyraptor can no longer learn Crunch
• A number of skills that do flat damage (like Splash) or percentage (like Death Grip in PvP) are no longer influenced by damage-increasing effects (like Rain, sharp claws)

Game Fixes

• Fixed Revenge Jaws, Sumo Stance and Frigid Barrier Skills, these are now functioning as described
• Shell Drill now lowers special defense, as intended
• Fixed “invalid battle” error that happened when two Coromon with a weather-applying Trait faint at once in an online battle.

Conditions & weather

• Sleep condition is replaced by the Drowsy condition; drowsy Coromon will have 30% reduced Attack and Special Attack stat, and every hit on them is a critical hit. The condition lasts for 4 turns.
• Updated Shock condition: instead of a 25% chance to do nothing each turn, the effect triggers every fourth turn and now included a visual indicator when that happens
• Twilight effect has been changed: In Twilight, ghost Coromon won’t make contact with their targets, and positive stat boosts on non-ghost Coromon become negative stat boosts

Reduced RNG mode

• Added Reduced RNG mode setting for single player, enforced it in PvP:
• All skills with less than 100 accuracy now have 100 accuracy, but their effects will slightly diminish
• Their power is multiplied by the accuracy percentage. For example a skill that had 100 power and 85 accuracy, will now have 100 x 0.85 = 85 power
• One hit KO Skills will now damage the target for 35% of their current HP
• Drowsy condition only lasts for 2 rounds, but Skills that apply them have 100 accuracy.
• Side effects on skills (e.g. 25% to Burn the target) won’t trigger randomly anymore, but will instead trigger every Xth turn, where X is determined by the original percentage. An indicator below the Skill button will show if and when the side effects will trigger.
• Critical hits get the same treatment as side effects and are now predetermined, but still affected by the amount of stat changes on your Critical Hit Chance.
• A number of Traits trigger every X turns, instead of having a chance to trigger each turn.
• Number of strikes on multi hits is now influenced by Speed stat changes. If the Coromon has a negative Speed stat change (i.e. its Speed was lowered by 1 stage or more) then the least amount of strikes will occur. With a positive Speed stat change the highest amount of strikes will occur.

Trait Enhancements & Devolution

• Coromon that could but haven’t evolved now benefit from Trait Enhancements, at the cost of certain stat reductions defined by the Trait. (e.g. Antidote+ will drop 15% Attack and Special Attack, while Conductor+ will drop 30% Attack and Defense) You can find these percentages by pressing on the stats in the evolution details.
• Coromon summary has a new tab where you can see the changes your Coromon could benefit from
• When a Coromon evolves you can now stop the evolution
• You can trigger the skipped evolution of a non-evolved Coromon via the new tab in the Coromon summary
• Introduced a new item: Devolve Pill. It devolves a Coromon. Who would’ve guessed?
• Loan Squads in PvP now also include non-evolved Coromon

Example Trait Enhancement stages:

• Nano Skin: This Coromon’s regenerative exoskeleton makes it immune to bleeding.
• Nano Skin+: This Coromon’s regenerative exoskeleton makes it immune to bleeding. Recovers from status problems two rounds after they are inflicted.
• Nano Skin++: This Coromon’s regenerative exoskeleton makes it immune to bleeding and all status problems.
