Def: 60–315 → 60–360Dragonite was sometimes knocked out too easily for an All-Rounder. By improving Dragonite's durability, Dragonite can now engage more aggressively and fight more consistently.2) LaprasBoosted AttackHP recovery: 3% → 3.5% of max HPPerish SongCooldown: 7.5s → 6.5sTo further enhance Lapras's ability as a Defender that absorbs enemy attacks, the healing from its boosted attack has been buffed. Additionally, allowing Perish Song to be used more frequently makes it easier to create opportunities to break the opposing team's formation.3) GoodraStatsDefense: 100–600 → 100–620Sp. Def: 100–500 → 100–590Muddy WaterDefense and Sp. Def increase upon use: 20% increasePower WhipCooldown: 7.5s → 7sDamage: 12% increaseTo help Goodra perform its role as a Defender more effectively, its overall durability has been improved. The performance of its moves has also been enhanced, reducing cooldowns and increasing damage, to allow Goodra to maintain frontline combat for longer.4) GyaradosStatsHP: 3100–8200 → 3250–8350FlailDamage: 10% increaseTo further emphasize Magikarp's strength in adverse situations—becoming stronger as its HP gets lower—the damage of Flail has been increased. Additionally, by slightly raising its max HP, it is now easier for Magikarp to maintain the HP range where Flail is most effective, making this high-risk playstyle more rewarding.5) Ho-OhSacred FireDamage: 30% decreaseAttack increase on self: 30% → 15%Attack decrease on opponents: 15% → 10%Sacred Fire+Attack decrease on opponents: 30% → 20%Fire SpinDamage: 10% decreaseAfter the last adjustment, Ho-Oh's offensive and defensive performance exceeded expectations, creating too many situations where it was overly advantageous against other Pokemon. Therefore, the damage of its main moves and the effects that strengthen itself and weaken opponents have been nerfed to create opportunities for opponents to counter.6) Galarian RapidashDazzling GleamDamage: 10% decreaseGalarian Rapidash's high mobility allowed Dazzling Gleam to deal a level of damage that was difficult for opponents to counter. The move's damage has been slightly reduced to give opponents a better chance to fight back.Also read: Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot teased in Pokemon UnitePokemon Unite U-Impact [Part 2]: Bug FixesSeveral bugs that impacted gameplay have been resolved in the Pokemon Unite U-Impact [Part 2] update:Fixed Ho-Oh’s Sacred Fire gaining unintended effects when combined with Flamethrower+Resolved an issue with Garchomp’s Dragon Claw+ incorrectly triggering during specific combosAddressed Latios’s Dragon Pulse hitting unintended targetsCorrected Gengar’s Hex cooldown not decreasing when hitting paralyzed foesMew’s Electroweb now properly reduces attack speedFixed Slowbro’s Scald damage bug post-July 18 updateResolved Inteleon’s Fell Stinger failing to gain critical counters on wall impactAlso read: Unite Latios: Best moveset, builds, items, and moreIf you are interested in other topics related to Pokemon Unite, check out these articles:Unite license tier listUnite Solo Queue licenses tier listBest Build for every Pokemon Unite licenseBest Boost Emblems in the gameHeld Item tier listBattle Item tier list
