- A bug that could prevent the HP bar of an opponent’s Pokémon Tera from accurately reflecting damage inflicted by certain moves (such as Rough Play) or certain status conditions that may occur during Battle during the Tera raid, resulting in Pokémon Tera’s HP bar fluctuating in an unusual way. This will be fixed.
