Pokemon Unite update 1.1.1.8 will arrive on September 8, 2021, and the patch notes focus on one particular Pokemon. While there will be the usual shop changes and bug fixes, a recently added supporter is getting buffed. Expect to see some positive changes for Blissey in Pokemon Unite.
All of the updates are designed to make it better at both protecting itself and its allies. To start, its base Sp. Def stat is going to be increased. This means it should be better at taking hits and surviving while looking after its allies with its healing skills. Even more notably, the Safeguard skill Blissey can use in Pokemon Unite will be able to do more.
At the moment, Safeguard just removes ailments from an ally and keeps them being hindered briefly. The Pokemon Unite patch notes said that after the update, both Blissey and a target Pokemon will be healed and temporarily gain a shield. Said shield will become more effective when Safeguard levels up.
Here are the full Pokemon Unite patch notes from the official site.
