The bug was spotted after the game received an update a few days ago, and the news has spread through the community like wildfire. The official <em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/em> Twitter account has posted that they are aware of the issue and working to solve it<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We have discovered an issue whereby Crustle may gain an unintended strength boost in certain circumstances.<br><br>We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this issue. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PokemonUNITE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PokemonUNITE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Pok\u00e9mon UNITE (@PokemonUnite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokemonUnite\/status\/1441093892024127488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, the bug is common knowledge among the community and occurs when Crustle is knocked out by an enemy Pok\u00e9mon. When looking at sources from around the world, the bug seems to both increase the effects of held items and drastically decrease the cooldown for Crustle\u2019s Unite Move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unite Moves are powerful attacks that typically can\u2019t just be used haphazardly. Even Crustle\u2019s Unite Move, Rubble Rouser, takes a little over two minutes before it becomes usable if the player doesn\u2019t do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During normal play, the cooldown for a Unite Move is decreased by a few percent when defeating a wild Pok\u00e9mon or by around 10% when the player scores a goal. But as of now, a Crustle that\u2019s been knocked out once can reduce that cooldown way more efficiently. The effect of the bug also seems to stack up to four times for each time Crustle is knocked out. This results in a Crustle that can recklessly use its Unite Move as it pleases and dominate matches by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players are also reporting that the bug is increasing the power of the game\u2019s stat boosting held items. If you come across one of these menacing Crustles in a match, there\u2019s not much to do but accept your fate. It\u2019s basically untouchable. While initially not used to the spotlight, Crustle has become so powerful that it was even trending in Japanese on Twitter at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"421\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-600x253.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-380x160.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-768x323.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-150x63.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-696x293.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210923-176665-001-998x420.jpg 998w\" \/><figcaption>Crustle (\u30a4\u30ef\u30d1\u30ec\u30b9 in Japanese) was trending in Japan at the time of this writing (Sep. 23 JST)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Fortunately, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite\u2019s <\/em>development team is aware of the issue and is probably working to resolve it right now.
