September is also shaping up to be a great month for Pokémon Duel players, with plenty of exciting bonuses and new figures to collect. On September 3, after the planned maintenance period, multiple updates will go into effect, including new figures in the September 2018 Booster Pack, [UX] Mega Latios and [UX] Mega Latias. [UX] Mega Latias should capture the attention of all Pokémon Duel fans, as it can change their opponent’s Gold Attacks to White Attacks. These new figures will be available until September 30 at 6:59 p.m. PDT.
