Battle Pass

With Pokémon Champions, in an effort to balance the battle system, features some changes to some long standing mechanics for Status Conditions that have been in the game. This includes changing of rates as well as duration of them.

It is currently unclear if these changes will carry over to the main series Pokémon games.
