Ver. 1.0.3 (Released April 8, 2026)
We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:
In some cases, Pokémon whose habitats have disappeared cannot be found even when searching for them using the “Search” function in the Pokédex.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.
If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.
When traveling to a Dream Island under certain circumstances, you arrive at Palette Town and are unable to return to the original town.
When moving between towns or when the in-game date changes, the screen remains dark, making it difficult to operate the game.
If you perform certain actions, it becomes impossible to relocate Pokémon habitats.
If construction is carried out in a certain way, building projects will not be completed until the in-game date changes.
In Bleak Beach, performing certain actions prevents progress during the request “Power up the charging station!”
In the Sparkling Skylands, performing certain actions causes the Pokémon that you requested construction help from to be removed, making it difficult to progress the request to rebuild the huge building.
On Cloud Islands, performing certain actions causes seasonal Pokémon to disappear from the town and Cloud Island.
When creating a new Cloud Island, an error occurs and the island cannot be created.
Some of the following issues have been partially fixed, making them less likely to occur.
