It fixes the following glitches:

  • A glitch that caused a game crash if the player used an Evolution item, with that item being the last item in their Bag.
  • A glitch that sometimes prevented Scatterbug from learning Egg Moves.
  • A glitch that allowed Eggs to be given items under some circumstances.
  • A glitch ending the tournament when pre-registered for an online Friendly Competition (e.g. entry gets canceled or the Battle Teams get unlocked).
