As with previous updates, the developers have sadly not provided any numerical values for any of tthe changes in the official changelog, nor any specifics about exactly what bugs might have been fixed, nor details on what exactly is being updated in the shop. No rationale has been stated for why Blissey needed to be buffed in this manner either. As usual, we can only wait for them to go live so that the community can figure out the actual specifics of the change, and how these will impact on actual gameplay.
