At this point, it's hard not to expect that new games, particularly new Pokémon games, to come out and be updated with them being free of bugs. The new and popularly explosive addition to the lineup is the MOBA-styled Pokémon Unite, unfortunately is not (or has not been) immune to this fact. A few bugs have been reported from minor annoyances to major issues, specifically involving certain Pokémon. They've become quite noticeable thanks to players highlighting them, particularly with video evidence on YouTube.
One of the older introduced Pokémon, Cramorant, has a bug that renders it invincible onwards under certain circumstances, something that is likely unintended. As can be discerned, this bug becomes rather dangerous, because an invincible player is one that would dominate the entire match and practically spell defeat for those of the other team. This bug is definitely something that demands a fix to prevent further exploits and make the game once again fairer to play when this particular Pokémon is involved.
Recently, Tsareena was introduced; the Pokémon has gained notoriety for its abilities and ubiquity, as well as a bug. In certain circumstances, the Pokémon may be able to move faster as if it had used X Speed. Though not as severely impactful as the Cramorant bug, it would make what has already been deemed as a "broken" Pokémon from launch even more "broken" due to its already existing notoriety. This too becomes something to be fixed, even if some might desire it to be kept as a temporary ability.
Then there are other bugs. Some situations, particularly those involving poor connections, might allow some Pokémon to go through walls directly (a "clipping" phenomenon). Pokémon have also been spotted in unusual positions, like Charizard in a "napping" pose. One time, when viewing Pikachu in the Pokémon list, it makes a Charizard cry instead - which I have experienced but has since been fixed. The other two might be a little harder to fix, but there may just be a good interest in fixing them.
It seems that aside from new additions to the roster of playable Pokémon, which has been more or less active and is typically plagued by its own imbalances - which some say might be the "rite of passage" for specific metas - other bugs can also creep their way in as nuisances at best and noxious things at worst. As with any game that is developed in vivo, that may just be the normal state of affairs, and Pokémon Unite practically has challenges of its own for dealing with them and making sure all is fair in matches or otherwise.
