This version update is available in-game now. Players who have not updated to this new version may be able to continue to be able to play for a short period of time, however they will not be able to access certain content until completing the upgrade. Matchmaking is also likely to be slower when playing on old versions.

Downtime for Pokémon Trainer Club Maintenance
Pokémon UNITE will be one of the services impacted by the upcoming Pokémon Trainer Club maintenance this week, scheduled to start at 9:00am (PST) / 5:00pm (UTC) on November 16th. This maintance is expected to last for approximately 1-2 hours. You can find out more information about this maintance in our story here.

Due to the nature of this maintance, players will be required to re-consent to allow the app to access the information in their Pokémon Trainer Club account the next time they log in with their Pokémon Trainer Club account after the maintenance is completed. The actual permissions being granted to Pokémon UNITE will remain identical to what they were previously, and players will have the opportunity to review these in-app prior to accepting or refusing them.
