Pokemon Unite remains a popular MOBA title among players, and the developers have consistently tried to maintain the hype through regular tweaks and updates. Apart from new content, events, and debuts, they have also pushed patches to bring in changes to the running meta. The latest patch 1.9.1.5 does a similar job.

With patch 1.9.1.5, the developers at TiMi Studio Group introduced a number of significant nerfs and buffs to various licenses available in the MOBA title. Nerfs have been meted out to Sableye, Zacian, and Mew among others to make them feel less overpowered in Pokemon Unite.

Patch 1.9.1.5 also doled out buffs to Charizard and Zoroark. The former's basic attacks as well as Unite Move have been buffed. The latter's multiple moves have been buffed, with developers aiming to ensure that the creature doesn't "lag behind other Speedsters" in Pokemon Unite.

Without further ado, here are the official patch notes for version 1.9.1.5 in Pokemon Unite.
