Patch notes for update 1.5.1.7, Pokémon Unite
Absol
Absol has been completely outshined by other options for many patches now - this well-needed love will allow them to feel less completely worthless in the lategame. Survivability has always been an issue and Lifesteal will give them much higher odds to live after blowing someone up.
Stats
Lifesteal (NEW): 5% at 5, 10% at 9
Psycho Cut
NOTES: Now procs off Nightslash hits and Unite.
Pursuit
Attack Range: Increased by 0.5m
Pursuit+
Movement Speed: 25% -> 35%
Crustle
Early game slows on Rock Tomb will allow Crustle to occupy another niche, but they seem to be falling in the Jack of all Trades category. Crustle is never good enough at any role to be played, but better than any other mon at all the roles. Unfortunately that likely won't get them picked often competitively.
Rock Tomb
Slow (NEW): 40%
Rock Tomb+
Slow: 40% -> 60%
Stealth Rock
NOTES: Projectile speed increase.
Charizard
Remember, Zard is not meant to be played as a ranged poker, and TiMi wants you to know it. How dare you innovate gameplay.
Flamethrower
Ratio: 150% -> 132%
Per Level: 6 -> 6 (Unchanged)
Base: 160 -> 145
Flamethrower+
Ratio: 176% -> 156%
Per Level: 8 -> 7
Base: 190 -> 170
Fire Blast
Slow: 50% -> 35%
Tsareena
Tsareena wrecked havoc recently in some competitive events, so this tune-down is much appreciated.
Stomp
Ratio: 196.52% -> 180.87%
Per Level: 10 -> 10 (Unchanged)
Base: 243 -> 226
With Queenly Majesty:
Ratio: 314.43% -> 289.4%

Base: 390 -> 362
Stomp+
Ratio: 226% -> 208%

With Queenly Majesty:
Ratio: 361% -> 332.8%
Per Level: 19 -> 18
Base: 448 -> 416
Snorlax
Snorlax being control tank required some tools they didn't have - increasing their blubber and reducing cooldowns should allow them to be more of a nuisance.
Stats
SpD 1-5: 67 /79 /92 /106/122 -> 70 /83 /98 /114/132
SpD 6-10: 139/158/179/202/228 -> 151/172/195/221/249

Heavy Slam
Cooldown: 7s -> 6s
Block
Cooldown: 11s -> 9s
Unite Move
Cooldown: 115000 -> 100000 (128s -> 112s)
Espeon
Most new releases fall into two categories - either they come out incredibly oppressive, or they release as a lukewarm second-option. Espeon was the latter, so they got a hefty pile of damage buffs.
Psyshock
Stun: 1s -> 1.25s
First Hit:
Ratio: 72% -> 79%
Per Level: 14 -> 15
Base: 380 -> 410

Per Level: 4 -> 5
Base: 114 -> 123
Psybeam
Ratio: 69% -> 91%
Per Level: 10 -> 13
Base: 410 -> 540
Stored Power
First Hit:
Ratio: 52% -> 64%
Per Level: 10 -> 12
Base: 270 -> 330
Subsequent Hits:
Ratio: 15.6% -> 19.2%
Per Level: 3 -> 4
Base: 81 -> 99
Pikachu
Pikachu was just a tad too squishy, so this should go a long way to making their late game presence more formidable.
Stats
Spell Vamp (NEW): 12.5% at 9
Mamoswine
Cooldown, get it?
Icicle Crash
Cooldown: 10s -> 8s
Ice Fang
Cooldown: 8s -> 7s
Unite Move
Cooldown: 120000 -> 110000 (134s -> 123s)
Slowbro
This restores a lot of the faith people may have had for Slowbro - Scald was incredibly disppointing last patch after its MAJOR buff, but with a subsequent bug that made that nerf limp. This is now fixed, and means Slowbro Scald is back on the menu!
Scald
Burn (BUGFIX): Now burning all ticks instead of just 2.
