Patch notes

Previous release

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.

By performing certain actions, the controller vibrates continuously.

We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:

During the request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!” in Withered Wasteland, if the player places other blocks over the cracked blocks near Hitmonchan, it becomes difficult to understand how to progress the request.

During the request “To Snorlax!” in Bleak Beach, if the player places other blocks over the cracked blocks near Snorlax, it becomes difficult to understand how to progress the request.

Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.

If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.

During the request “Help make a home!” in Withered Wasteland, Squirtle may move on top of a tree and become impossible to talk to, preventing progress.

During the request “Find the Pokémon Center!” in Bleak Beach, if the cracked blocks on the bridge are broken before Professor Tangrowth crosses the bridge, it will become difficult to make progress on the request.

During the request “Find the Pokémon Center!” in Bleak Beach, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.

In Rocky Ridges, a specific sequence of actions may prevent the event in which the player meets Rotom from occurring.

During the request “Clear off the path!” in Rocky Ridges, if the request is triggered under certain conditions, it will become difficult to make progress on the request.

Spinarak’s type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.
