- Version 1.0.2 fixes several mission‑blocking bugs, including guaranteed catch failures tied to full Boxes, move targeting breaking on a day/night switch, and a trainer battle lock when Mega Evolving on a switch.
- Ranked Battles now stop deducting points, some per‑match rewards are added or increased, online play requires the latest update, and local communication is incompatible across versions.
- Mega Dimension arrives December 10 on Switch and Switch 2, taking players to Hyperspace Lumiose and adding a progression system where some Pokémon exceed the traditional level 100 cap.
- New Mega Evolutions include Raichu X and Y, Chimecho, and Baxcalibur, with Baxcalibur’s Mega Stone obtainable through advancement in the online Z‑A Battle Club; the DLC is priced around $30 and requires finishing the main story.
