Randoms
Randoms is a 6v6 matchmaking game mode which allows players to battle with randomized parties.
Species from Generations 1 - 3 are currently available. Species availability will be expanded in future updates.
This game mode is enabled after Badge 4 for matchmaking and dueling.
General
Vanity items now show metadata related to their release. This can include which year they were released in, exclusivity, or where to find them now
Trainers in Kanto & Hoenn now have improved rematch parties to better align with gameplay from more recent regions
Abilities
Added the Pickup battle ability effect
This ability allows its user to pickup an item from a random adjacent foe or ally if they used an item this turn.
Pickup may retrieve items which are consumed, like Red Card, Eject Button, Focus Sash, and Berries if they haven't already been recovered. It will not recover items which are unrecoverable, like Air Balloon or Incinerated berries.
Miscellaneous
Players can now control the zoom level of the camera. This option is accessible in the Settings menu
Added Healing Wish to Mr. Mime's egg moves
Mysterious Gem crafting can now create multiple stacks at a time (Processing up to 99 Mysterious Gems at a time)
Name Change Tickets can now have their availability checked before purchase
Sinnoh's berry plots now function as berry plots
Player render limits now function properly in GBA regions
Players may now sign up with battle box teams if they're in a partially completed region, if they meet the minimum badge requirement in at least one region.
Previously, if a player attempted to sign up for a tournament after having completed one region, but before they met the badge requirements in their current region, they couldn't sign up even if they had a valid party available
Balancing
Razor Fang, Quick Claw, Focus Band, and King's Rock will now broadcast their presence when swapping in.
Typed Gem creation has been rescaled
Mysterious Gems will now create double the Gems, but Hidden Power modifications will now cost double.
If the final party members in a battle faint due to Rocky Helmet retaliation damage, the attacker is now the winner (previously, the defender would be).
Repels now work normally in the Safari Zone
Heal Powder's sell price has been reduced from $450 -> $400
