Lucario's moves will also receive a nerf as damage dealt from its Power-Up Punch and Close Combat will be decreased, however the latter will have number of attacks increased.
As for the buffs, according to Nintendo Life, Absol's Night Slash and Sucker Punch will have their cooldown reduced, while the area of effect of the former will be adjusted, and the duration of the latter's unstoppable condition while it is in use increased.
The patch update also gave Charizard's Flamethrower a buff to its movement speed increase, as well as a reduction to the cooldown of its Fire Blast.
It also reworked its Seismic Slam Unite Move to the point that it will grab the opposing Pokemon and slam it to the ground first before they can move freely over obstacles.

According to Nintendo Life, the said patch fixed a bug in the said move that will make the target Pokemon open for attacks once they are asleep during the said moves. This means that, according to Kotaku, the said target Pokemon can now wake up after taking a hit.
The patch update also fixed the bug that causes attacks performing while Blastoise doing its Rapid Spin to decrease the opposing Pokemon's movement speed, as well as the bug that allows the users to use either Hydro Pump or Water Spout while on spinning as basic attacks.
It also fixed the bug in Cinderace's Blazing Bicycle Kick Unite Move, where it will trigger once the move fails to activate, as well as the bug that triggers the effect of Greninja's Smokescreen+ before the Smokscreen is upgraded.
The said update also fixed the bug that affects the damage from Lucario's Close Combat+ and Gardevoir's Boosted Attack, and the bug that affects the Health recovery after Eldegoss' Cotton Guard ends.
