Fixed an issue where, when using Elixirs in battle, a message would play stating it had no effect
Fixed Natural Gift typing shown in various UIs

Fixed an issue where Wide Guard / Quick Guard increased Protect-type moves' failure percentage if they failed to be used
Fixed an issue where, if a player used a Repel while a Lure was very close to ending, they could be spammed with many messages about lures wearing off
Players can no longer unbind essential hotkeys (A/B/Up/Down/Left/Right)
Multiple Gracidea can now be used at once
Fixed Curse/Protean's interaction
Curse is now targetable in double battles
Chatter is no longer blacklisted by Me First
Encore can no longer call Sleep Talk
Sleep Talk can no longer call Nature Power or Chatter
Mimic can no longer call Metronome, Mirror Move, Transform, Struggle, Sleep Talk, Nature Power, Assist, Me First, Copycat, Chatter, or Fling
Fixed an issue where Encore's targeting behavior could fail if the user-selected move was not the same as the encored move
Fixed an issue where Encore's turn count would be shortened by 1 if used after the target already moved
Fixed an issue where Sap Sipper would not suppress secondary stat drop effects of moves such as Leaf Storm
Fixed an issue where, if logging out while placing a decoration item in Secret Bases, the client would pretend it's still placing an item upon reconnecting
Fixed an issue where Fancy Butterfly Wings' lighting effects wouldn't work properly in GBA regions
Fixed an issue where Skill Swap would cause abilities to be activated if it failed to be used
Transform now affects the weight of the user
Fixed an issue where a Golduck Alpha Swarm in Unova would not be interactable
Magic Room now negates Choice item selections
Fixed an issue where, when fainting a wild encounter with Sticky Barb with a contact move, the item would not be retained
Fixed an issue where, when using Trick against an opponent which had the same Choice item, it would lock the move selection after usage
Rules for held item retention against wild encounters have been standardized
Previously, held item retention was implemented differently per-move. This led to different behavior depending on what move was used, such as how Trick would never allow held items to be obtained from wild encounters.
In general, players are now able to retain a wild encounter's held item as expected if their original held item was destroyed (through consumption or Fling), if they captured the opponent, or if they had no held item at the start of the battle. Wild held items are not retained if the player would have destroyed an Untossable item, or a permanent, non-consumable battle item (such as a Choice Band)
Sweet Scent is now used immediately after being prompted to refresh it with a PP item
Fixed Trick's message broadcast order
Fixed an issue where swapping positions of a party member in a battle box would eat the entry for the target slot
Fixed an issue where Darmanitan, while in Zen Mode, would incorrectly use base stats instead of calculated stats for damage calculations
Fixed a targeting error which would occur if Rattled was activated by Intimidate
The Alpha dex now properly shows Glameow / Lillipup evolution lines (released in LNY 2023)
