• New Journey Stamps system (page 11 of the rules) that rewards trainers for completing milestones that are not main objectives.
  
• New Battle Fatigue system (page 6 of the rules) replaces the Struggle clause: After 5 rolls in a row, the active Pokémon now takes 3 damage for each further roll.
  
• Hidden Spots have been split into two types, the new Special Hidden Spots are always either an Artifact or an Alpha Pokémon.
  
• There is now a second Pokédex and a crafting recipe reference book for each player.
  
• The Dice Rollers have a small button that can be used to cycle through all types instead of just the learnable types of the active Pokémon (useful for Metronome and Judgement).
  
• Some quality of life changes to the home village cards, shrine cards and rulebook.

• Initial movement has been increased from 1 to 3 and is no longer increased by the number of Pokémon in your party. Each Shard now provides an extra party slot and +1 movement. You also start with 3 Red Apricorns instead of 2.
  
• Magnemite has been replaced by Shinx as the starter for Sunyshore Village (Magnemite can now be found in the wild [Mountain/Warm/Weak]).
  
• Cyrus has two more Pokémon so that he can choose what his team of 6 will be. Arceus no longer changes its own type and remains Typeless (the move type can still be changed).
  
• The Confused status has been buffed from 1 damage to 2 damage per status symbol rolled.

Small update to the size of the models.

• Conceding battles has been made more explicit in the rules as a way to end any battle early after one of your Pokémon faints.
  
• The max amount of learnable moves (signature move + 2 extra moves) has been made explicit in the rules.
  
• The grace period after a battle with another trainer has been reintroduced: "Neither trainer may be challenged again until the start of their next turns".
  
• Status effects now apply before damage is calculated and applied. This means the Frozen status gets the extra +2 damage for any critical hits in the inflicting attack.
  
• The Example Battle in the rules now has more pictures to help show how a battle is played out.
  
• The Alpha Pokémon icon now has a hint of yellow to signify the Legendary encounter tier of an Alpha Pokémon.
  
• You now shuffle Shrine Event cards back into the deck after running out.
  
• Searching a Shrine Event is now limited to just the deck and can no longer immediately encounter Legendary Pokémon unless at that Pokémon's home shrine (this was to stop an overpowered strategy of chaining Legendary Shrine Events from a single shrine).

Small update to fix a tag that should have been "Plains" not "Mountain".

Small update to the rulebook.

Small fixes for:

• Close Combat effect text not up to date.
  
• Flip Turn attack strength not correct.
  
• Eterna Home Village card not working.

• Reworked rulebook with new layout.
  
• Reworked Shrine Events: All Shrine Events are now just resolved upon drawing the event. Shrine Legendary Pokémon have tokens that get placed at their home shrine when their event is drawn.
  
• The Pokédex now supports searching for Legendary Pokémon (by standing on an Artifact Legendary Location, a Shrine Legendary token or on a Power Dice).
  
• Reworked Team Galactic to fight like any other trainer. Additionally, Full Restore has been replaced with Galactic Retribution and Team Galactic Commanders now have 4 Pokémon they can use instead of needing Commander Charon cards. Cyrus now has a Honchkrow.
  
• Team Galactic Scouts reward reduced to +2 Journey Points. All Act battles now grant Journey Points (+3 JP Act I, +2/3/4 JP Act II, +6 JP Act III).
  
• Frozen status effect no longer prevents switching, instead it prevents healing (in addition to the critical hit damage).
  
• Alluring Stew can now be used to prevent wild Pokémon from fleeing battle. Infused Stew now uses a dice roll.
  
• New Battle Item "Blast Crystal" replaces "Life Orb" and Battle Items are now slightly cheaper.
  
• Alpha Pokémon are now considered as having Legendary encounter tier and are no longer visible on the board. The attack strength boost now only applies to the signature move of the Alpha Pokémon.
  
• Artifact effects have been adjusted to mostly be attack strength boosts.
  
• Shrine Event "Soul Link" replaced by "Travelling Merchant": Allows you to convert Apricorns from the same tier.
  
• Power Dice now have "Break" instead of "Status Symbol". The Power Dice is returned to the Mystri Stage when Break is rolled.

Small patch to fix an incorrect type shown on the Defensive Type Chart. Also increased the size of the Ruin tokens and added images of the cores to them.

Small patch to fix the tags on two Yellow Apricorn Trees in Coronet Valley North.

Small update to add support for custom Pokémon.
