5/2/2024 - The Friendship Candy Update
Major Changes
You can now earn candies for your Pokemon through friendship! Increasing your Pokemon's friendship throughout runs will contribute to earning candies for the starter of that species. The lower the default cost of the starter, the lower the friendship requirement. This friendship gained for candy is also DOUBLED in classic mode, so maybe it's time you paid another visit to your friends Ivy and Finn!
To balance this new way of earning candies, duplicate candies can no longer be earned in dailies, though you'll still keep any starters, IVs, natures, and abilities you find there.
Egg moves have been updated yet again
Stat changes are now visible in-game! (Press shift or C)
Minor Changes
Luck cap is now 14 and shinies take the luck bonus of both fused components
Starter luck is the max of the species' luck which means you can take whichever version you think looks the nicest, though caught Pokemon still retain the luck bonus of their specific variant
Any Pokemon you already own can now be caught in the final biome of classic mode
Alcremie and Furfrou now have their variant forms
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu&Eevee movesets implemented
Porygon line is now Rare instead of Super Rare in the Factory
