Welcome to the launch of BBP Gen 8.1! Due to movepool updates, as well as changes to how stat ranks are being calculated, we require all players to update their Trainer Profiles before beginning any new battles. Note that this is only a Profile update -- we are not creating new Trainer Profiles from scratch like we did at the start of Gen 8.0. As such, the updates will be handled entirely within this thread. Trainers will post their changes in this thread, an Approver will double-check, and then after being approved the Trainer can edit the updates into their Profile.
There are two things we expect you to do in this thread: post your updated Pokemon profiles, and request item-based refunds. Instructions for each are below.

All Pokemon Profiles will need to be updated. There are no Pokemon that went unchanged. Here are the steps for updating your Pokemon's profile:
- Use the Gen 8.1 Data Audit to update your Pokemon's stat ranks: HP, Atk, Def, SpA, and SpD.
- If your Pokemon is Stage 4 or higher, you may change its Nature for free. You only need to post one Profile with the new Nature.
- Non-neutral Natures that boost Def or SpD now grant +2 to that stat instead of +1, so account for that if necessary.
- Update your Pokemon's movepool. If your Pokemon is a CAP, its movepool can be found in the Gen 8.1 Data Audit. If your Pokemon is an official Pokemon, use the Movepool Resource documents while making sure to include moves from pre-evolutions.
- Don't forget to give Hidden Power a type when applicable!
