New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on May 6, 2022) follows:
Developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokemon Company, Pokemon Unite is a MOBA game that was released in September of 2021 for Android and iOS.
Ever since its release, the 5v5 game has generated more than $1.49 million worldwide via in-app purchases.
However, issues such as Error Code: 1-5-1200 Log-in failed and unfair matchmaking have negatively affected the gameplay experience for some.
And now, Pokemon Unite players are complaining about the reduced EXP bug. It is preventing many from leveling up their Pokemon and ultimately losing the match in higher elo.
If you don’t know, the game grants players passive EXP every minute which helps level up the characters, especially support and tanks. The issue seems to have surfaced after a recent update and is putting players at a permanent disadvantage.
Thankfully, Pokemon Unite Japan has acknowledged the issue and said they will be fixing the reduced EXP bug in the May 6 update.
Since the bug is only affecting Pokemon that evolve, players are advised not to play those until the fix is out. But if you want to, make sure you farm and not engage early game so as to reduce the EXP gap.
Rest assured, we will update this space when the problem is fixed so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
