Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - Version 1.1 Patch

The first patch for Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon has gone live. This patch takes the game to Version 1.1 and is required to use all online functions and requires 539 Blocks. The patch fixes a number of bugs that have existed in the game, mostly dealing with moves
It fixes a bug where Ion Deluge no longer functions
It fixes a bug where Wide Guard reduced damage from all Z-Moves instead of just Clangorous Scales
It fixes a bug where the first move is deleted if you teach a Pokémon with 3 or fewer moves a move at the Move Tutor
It fixes a bug where the game would periodically freeze shortly after selecting Litten as your Starter Pokémon
All Battle Videos from before this patch will unfortunately be unable to function
