Pokemon Legends: Z-A version 1.0.2. update patch notes

Fixes Applied for the Following Issues

• If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
• In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
• In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
• Other minor issues have also been fixed.

Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments

• To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
• Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.
