That number has \u00a0been reduced from 60 to 15. The tweet goes on to explain that if you\u2019ve already knocked out Rotom over 15 times, one more Rotom knockout will complete the mission so you can claim your battle pass reward.<\/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\">Attention Trainers! The following has been changed:<br><br>\u27a1\ufe0f&quot;Knock out Rotom a total of 60 times&quot; has been changed to &quot;15 times&quot;<br><br>If you have already KO&#39;d Rotom 15 times or more, you can complete the mission by KO&#39;ing Rotom once more. Thank you for your understanding! <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\/1460654746377752577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite <\/em>is a free-to-play MOBA developed by TiMi Studio Group in collaboration with The Pok\u00e9mon Company and has been downloaded over 25 million times across Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms. Like many free-to-play titles, the game makes use of multiple in-game currencies and battle passes to reward progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite <\/em>also features daily, weekly, and seasonal missions to level up your battle pass and receive rewards. But as the game enters its second season, the aforementioned weekly battle pass mission has been criticized for being too time consuming and disruptive to the core game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rotom is a special wild Pok\u00e9mon in <em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/em> that spawns on the map for both teams to battle over at the 7:00 minute mark, and respawns every 2 minutes after being defeated until the 2:00 minute mark. Rotom spawns on the top lane and will support the team that defeats it in securing points at the nearest goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with the mission lies in what\u2019s counted as a knockout. To be the player that gets the knockout and increases your count toward the mission, you have to get the last hit on Rotom. In a 5v5 match where multiple players and teams are fighting to get the last hit on one Pok\u00e9mon, even knocking out Rotom just a handful of times is difficult. Rotom also spawns on the top lane, so players looking to complete the mission may have to leave the bottom lane or areas they should be in to help win the match just to get a shot at knocking it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks like the development team also sees why this mission would be particularly difficult for players and lowered the required number of knockouts to 15. Between forcing players to sacrifice good positioning for a shot at Rotom and appearing to put hefty challenges between players and their battle pass rewards, the decision is easy to understand.<\/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\">Decidueye is battling in style!
