Room Matches became really interesting!
The weirdest part of Pokémon Duel was the mode of Room Matches – Duels between players from different leagues, which don’t affect rankings of the trainers. In fact, many players began Room Matches only to accomplish Daily Missions, and many just gave up after the start to save their time and get a mission prize.
Now everything has been changed! Developers have added Halls to Room Matches with specific conditions of playing and prizes for winning. Halls will be changing regularly, becoming a sort of challenges. This definitely brings new excitement to the game!
For example, in the Hall of Silver Moon, players can take only Pokémon with UC or C levels of rarity. But after a successful battle, they can evolve them to the R, or even to higher level. Winners of duels will get Booster Tickets for taking a free Pokémon figure in the shop.
Or look at the Orbiter Hall with effects of a Gym Cup: Pokémon of Dragon type with 1 and 2 MP get +1 MP (Move Point), and Pokémon of Ice type get +20 points to their White and Gold attacks. It is a nice way to train with an appropriate deck before Gym Cups begin.
And many other exciting challenges wait for us in future…
This aspect of the Major Update means some changes to players’ behavior! Now we have significant reasons to keep Pokémon of low levels of rarity, making a collection of Pokémon – who knows in which Hall of Room Matches they will be useful?

Cormonite – a new game item for levelling-up Pokémon
If before we could use Rare Metal and merge Pokémon with each other to level up some of them to the 5th level, after the Major Update, we can use a totally new game item, named Cormonite to make available 10th level of a chosen Pokémon figure.
Cormonite can be gotten from Time Boosters.

Two new leagues!
These new leagues are interesting by a bigger quantity of Cormonite in Time Boosters.
New rarity and Mega-Evolution of Pokémon
UX – is a new type of rarity for Pokémon figures. We got only three UX Pokémon now: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Mega Beedrill.
These figures can be used for Mega-Evolution during a duel.

More slots for plates
Using plates, or cards of special powers, really can help to win in Pokémon Duel. And now we got 2 extra slots for plates – 8 instead of 6. Some of plates can occupy more than 1 slot, so the quantity of plates in a bag depends on their costs.
Team Matches and figures from Pokémon Sun and Moon
Some new features of this Major Update are still hidden from players. But we know what they are:
- Team Matches allow trainers choosing a team and participate in Team Match events;
- Figures from original Pokémon games – Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, made for Nintendo 3DS game consoles.
We plan to describe these features of Pokémon Duel (especially we are interested in Team Matches) when they become real in the game. So, stay in touch with social accounts of the Very Good Games blog to get information about new posts:
