Balance Highlighted Changes
Temtem
#065 – Hedgine
Binary Flood has been removed from its move pool.
Token has been added to its move pool.
Hedgine is one of the strongest digitals in the format thanks to its Gotta Go Fast Trait .This is why we've decided to remove the move that we think is the most problematic in the Hedgine kit, and we will keep watch on it and its trait to see if it needs to be adjusted for 1.6.
#131 – Tukai
Noxious Bomb has been maintained in its move pool as a TC.
One of the most talked-about topics in the Tuwai line has been the Noxious Bomb tech. We have considered the feedback provided and have decided to remove this tech from the entire evolutionary line except for Tukai, who relies on the interaction between this technique and Shuine's Horn for its physical set to exist at all.
#144 – Vulffy
Sludge Gift has been removed from its move pool.
Bush is now an Egg Technique.
Petal Dagger can be learned at level 31.
Vulffy is still a super dominant Temtem in the format, so we have decided to remove the tech that brought so much controversy with it.
#165 – Galios
SPATK has been increased from 68 ⇒ 72.
Transient Echo has been removed from its move pool.
Beta Burst has been added to its move pool.
The gameplay of Galios has been a problem since its release, as it has not been what we expected. We think that the rotation of a 0 hold move + Transient Echo + Selfless Ruination is too flat, but also very effective. To break away from this combo and the current Galios gameplay, we have increased the pressure that Galios can apply from the start of the game, and we've slightly adjusted its signature move, as it depended directly on the interaction with Transient Echo.
Techniques
Toxin Shower
Evasion turns 2 ⇒ 1.
Platimous is probably the most consistent Temtem in the scene, and has been for several patches now. Maybe we haven't been hard enough on it, but we don't want to make the two most dominant waters of the format drop too sharply. We feel that this change that Platimous receives will greatly affect how opponents can respond to it.
Binary Flood
Damage has been reduced 75 ⇒ 67.
STA Cost has been reduced 21 ⇒ 19.
Despite the removal of this technique from the Hedgines kit, we feel that it is still a technique with excessive value, as it is an AoE non-resistance move that applies two turns of seized.
Serbatiyo’s Wrath
SPATK Stage Modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
STA Cost has been reduced 35 ⇒ 30.
Oceara is undoubtedly one of the most dominant Temtem in the format, even though toxic Tems are very popular in the meta. We want Oceara to continue having a versatile profile in terms of coverage techs, and the ability to apply speed control on the opposing team. We've decided to focus Oceara's changes on the way it scales while applying damage. We know that this is the differential concept for this Temtem, but after the nerf to Freeze, adding Water Blade to its kit made Oceara return to the format, and that's why we have ultimately opted for this change.
Selfless Ruination
Hold turns from 3 ⇒ 2.
Priority has been reduced from High ⇒ Normal.
STA Cost has been reduced from 18 ⇒ 15.
We have wondered a lot about whether to remove evasion from this tech, or change its priority. Let's see how Galios performs by keeping the evasion turn and reducing the Selfess Ruination hold, but also lowering its priority. We believe that Galios should play around this tech by exerting control on the opponent, either by creating sleep combos or by speed control, and not by simply clicking a high priority tech.
Traits
Toxic Skin
It now works once per battle.
Poison ticks have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
Adoroboros has taken a step aside in this patch, but we still wanted to adjust how this trait works in order to adjust Adoro in a more controlled and fairer way.
Deceit Aura
Turn limitation has been removed.
As we commented back in the day with the switch to Deceit Aura, we are going to slowly make things easier for Nagaise and give it back tools, but in a controlled way, as we think the Tem is close to being in a good spot.
Temtem
As you will see, for this mid-season patch we’ve adjusted or buffed Tems that are not at the end of the evolutionary line in order to make them more viable. We have more things in store for these Tems for 1.6, but this time we’ve carried out all the changes that didn’t require coding.

Ninja Jutsu has been added to its move pool.
Flaming Meteorite has been added to its move pool.
#141 – Pigepic
Boomerang has been added to its move pool.
We want to facilitate combos with its Friendship trait. This was sometimes difficult with Debris Typhoon, as you had to use the Tech with synergy if you wanted to create a combo. Anyways, we are keeping this tech in Pigepic's kit, as we understand that there are situations where Debris Thyphoon is still more efficient.
