- Battling changes were made to reduce the power of some quick attacks like water gun. This change is meant to increase the use of special attacks. It also should help reduce the effectiveness Vaporeon. Who had used these attacks in a dominating fashion. More damage was added to be based off type or comparable damage making picking the correct type of Pokemon important. Early reports say that Vaporeon's effectiveness has been very reduced.
- Transferring Pokemon was made faster. Instead of scrolling to the bottom of the Pokemon information tab and clicking transfer a circular button with three lines was added to the bottom right corner and is always visible. This button opens a menu where a Pokemon can either be Favorited or Transferred.
- An extra pop up warning was added when first turning on the game.
