Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Difference between revisions

With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

* The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-scarlet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016943-switch/ Pokémon Scarlet] game or the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-violet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016942-switch/ Pokémon Violet] game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit [https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ The Pokémon Company].

* Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.

* Players can now [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61360 connect their games to Pokémon GO].

* Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:

** From a Pokémon’s summary, players can now change Pokémon’s nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pokémon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.

* The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

* A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.

* A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.

* A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

* Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.

* We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its {{a|Illusion}} Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the '''Check Target''' option.

* We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.

* We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.

* We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.

On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

*After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.

*Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

*Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

*Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
