Pocketpair is currently involved in a patent infringement lawsuit from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for a number of gameplay mechanics in the game. The company confirmed speculations that changes in the game with the release of Patch v0.3.11 in November 2024 and v0.5.5 were due to the ongoing litigation.
