Changelog: 20/10/2022
 
Balancing
Endeavor no longer works against Alpha minibosses Timer Ball's price has been increased from $800 to $1,200 Alpha Swarm durations have been increased from 60 minutes to 75 minutes When fleeing from an Alpha miniboss, a 2 minute penalty for respawning now occurs Note, this penalty does not occur if you white out Changes
Improved behavior for automated channel swaps during very high load times Previously, the game server would automatically switch players' channels under very high load conditions very often. This change allows a moderate overflow to channel capacity to prevent unnecessary changes (until an excess channel is closed automatically) Bug Fixes
Fixed Gender ratio calculation for Alpha minibosses Fixed an issue where secondary spawns in Alpha Swarms did not have appropriate IVs for Shinies Fixed stat stage copying for Transform / Imposter Notes
While this update improves in-game channel behavior, the game is still running at maximum capacity during high load times due to the popularity of the alpha swarm feature. Please note that players with active Donator Status automatically skip queues and receive privilege when logging in during high player volume times. This is not a new feature, but it's not normally relevant.

This is Part 2 of PokeMMO's 10th Anniversary patch series. Check back after the event's over for Part 3!

Features
 
PokeMMO for iOS PokeMMO is now available for iOS 11+ as a 3rd-party IPA package 3rd-party applications on iOS require sideloading for functionality. Please visit this link for installation instructions via Altstore.io 中国用户，请访问此链接 This client is currently in Beta. Several issues are currently known and are being worked on: iOS keyboard changing may be slightly delayed iOS "Display Zoom" mode does not always render correctly Various audio issues are currently present. These may include audio stopping for no apparent reason, and audio being delayed For additional issues, please report them to https://support.pokemmo.eu/ Rotation Battles "Rotation Battles are similar to Triple Battles in that three party members in each team are sent onto each side. However, they are sent out onto a circular platform. The platform can be rotated in either direction without wasting a turn. Strategy revolves around predicting which party member the opponent will select and switching to the appropriate counter on the player's side." Added Rotation Battles to duel/tournament options and enabled the battle type for relevant NPCs Movepools have been updated to Gen 8-5 (including changes from BDSP & LA). New moves are summarized below: Randoms has been updated to include Generation 4 species Some Limited addons now have animated profile sprites Phenomena may now occur more frequently Phenomena and Swarms now last slightly longer when spawned Darmanitan Statues now occasionally reappear in Desert Resort of Unova Honey Trees now allow multiple layers of Honey to be applied, to attract more foes at a time  Using Sweet Scent without enough PP will now prompt to replenish it with an available item (Leppa/Ether/etc.) Unova now includes Rock Smash encounters Unova now has a Rock Smash HM, available where the previous TM was distributed.

2 months ago, a few of our more attentive players noticed that March 29th 2022 would be the 10th anniversary of the forums coming online. As a brief history lesson for everyone, the first public test of the game started a few weeks later in April 2012, then the "alpha" (now known as PokeMMO Epsilon™) was released in June 2012.
 
While originally we were just planning on a large content update to commemorate the date, maybe throw in some massive tournament or something, we had the brilliant idea to instead make a one-time event outside of what we call "event season"- the period of Halloween/Christmas/Chinese New Year where we normally don't permit large, breaking changes so as to not interrupt the events by leaving you with an unplayable video game. "Get hyped" we said, because it'd be good.
 
Then, despite our better judgment, we doubled down by not only giving ourselves a deadline to come up with something and get it out, but a public deadline. Several in fact, and we've managed to blow all of them in a fantastic fashion.
 
Today marks the date of our 4th deadline being missed, and I'm happy to announce that we're commemorating this feat of project logistics by releasing the Torch & Pitchfork Seasonal items.
 

 
These items will be available until the next update releases. We expect that to be Soon™ish, probably around Two Weeks™, but we're giving ourselves some leeway so we don't need to make more announcements about announcements.
 
When we get there, this will also be an unusual update process. We'll be breaking it into a 3 part series:
The major, fragile changes will occur before the event. This will be our launch of the open beta iOS client, general changes like moveset updates, bug fixes, and a large suite of scripting changes to help us support future regions. A few days later, after we're sure that the game's not completely busted, the event will start. Finally, after the event ends, a new permanent feature will launch. We'll keep that one a surprise for now.  
Until then,
 
See you Soon™!

The extended hardware maintenance for May 5th, 2022 has completed. No issues were observed but we are monitoring for problems.
