Pokémon Trading Card Game Live to undergo 8-hour maintenance on February 20th, starting 8:00am (PST) / 4:00pm (PST), ahead of update to Version 1.11.0

Next week, the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live will be receiving an update to Version 1.11.0 to resolve a small number of issues impacting on both gameplay, and general app stability both in and out of matches. This update will be preceded by an 8 hour long maintenance window, which is scheduled to start at 8:00am (PST) / 4:00pm (UTC) on February 20th.

Most notably, the Version 1.11.0 patch will update the minimum Android OS version for players on that platform. Players with devices on Android 8 or lower will need to upgrade to a newer version to continue playing, or else switch to another device or platform.

Though not explicitly stated in the patch notes, it is also possible this update, which is happening only a week before Pokémon Day, might be adding content which will only unlock in-game from that day forward.

The full Patch Notes for 1.11.0, as posted by the developers on the official Pokémon Community Forums, can be found below. Links to information on the cards directly mentioned in the notes have been added for your convenience.
