The new update 0.131.3 for Pokémon GO ensures that trainer battles will run better in the future. Players complained about problems that Niantic is now fixing with the patch for Android and iOS.
What’s new? For a few weeks now, trainers in Pokémon GO can take part in PvP battles. There have been ongoing issues where players couldn’t deal damage, only take damage.
The latest update for Pokémon is supposed to resolve this issue.
Alola Pokémon and no damage in trainer battles
What is changing? On Twitter, Niantic’s support explained what trainers can expect in the new update version 0.131.3. It addresses solutions for problems reported by players to support:
- Pokémon that cannot deal damage during trainer battles
- Issues with powering up Pokémon when they are in battle teams
- The inability to use the second charged attack in gym battles
Niantic recommends trainers experiencing these issues to update to the new version 0.131.3 as soon as it’s available. If the problems persist afterwards, it helps to clear the app cache and restart Pokémon GO.
Why is this update important? After trainer battles started, many trainers couldn’t participate properly. They were in the battle but couldn’t deal damage. This caused frustration.
What changes are there for Alola Pokémon? As reported by PokémonGOHub, there are also fixes for Alola Pokémon. The message “Not very effective …” should no longer appear in the game when attacking Alola Pokémon with effective moves.
This recently caused confusion among trainers who were actually attacking with the right types but were seeing this message in the game.
This is how the community reacts: In comments on Reddit, players write that they appreciate Niantic’s communication. They listened to the players and are now fixing one of the most annoying PvP bugs.
