1.4.0 Balance Changes
Small update here, been a bit all over in organizing things but we're vibing. Also here to list ALL of the event changes.
Events (if it hasn't been obvious by now, I have said it a few times in public chats) have been used for us to test some changes, we just won't want to say which or you'll focus too hard on those.
Enjoy the event and update!
TRAINER CHANGES
- Wave 20 gyms will no longer use evolved mons
- Several early accessible gyms (Encounterable on either wave 20 or 30) and Lenora have had their teams changed, full list below
- Please keep in mind with the below list, if you encounter any on Wave 20 they will only use the first 2
- On Wave 30 they will only use the first 3
- Cheren (Plains)
Lillipup / Minccino / Patrat ->
Lillipup / Minccino / Pidove
- Cilan (Plains)
Pansage / Cottonee / Petilil ->
Pansage / Foongus/ Petilil

- Lenora (Meadow)

A lot of these changes come from player feedback of some of the early gyms being entirely unfair (and we agreed, have felt this too). No more wave 30 Gyarados or Girafarig, no more wave 20 Simisage/sear/pour or Basculin from the gym leaders. You are free. Be jolly and free..
OTHER CHANGES
- If a pokemon learns a TM at an earlier level, they will no longer see this TM appear while they are in your party
- (If multiple pokemon learn it and one does not get it by level, it will still show up)
- Fixed Annihilape being unable to learn the TM for Tera Blast
- Fixed Battle Bond Greninja losing access to learning Mat Block while transformed
