==Compatibility==

Each time a postcard is sent, wild {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern will change depending on the location where the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, after which the pattern of wild Vivillon will be reset, and the player will be able to receive another Postcard.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] and a [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Scarlet and Violet Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Kitakami and Blueberry Academy Pokédex were released with the two iterations of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, but the Pokémon in those Pokédexes became compatible with the base game upon release even if the player has not purchased the DLC. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon that existed at the time of release and their respective regional evolved forms are also compatible.

In Version 2.0.1, which was released alongside [[The Teal Mask]], several previously unusable moves were made usable again. These were mostly [[signature move]]s of Pokémon that were added in that update. Further moves were made usable in Version 3.0.0, coinciding with [[The Indigo Disk]].

| 1.0.1

|-

|

**Please check the in-game notice for more details about Ranked Battles Season 1.

*An issue has been fixed that caused the music to not play correctly during the battles with the Elite Four and the Top Champion in the Victory Road path.

*Other select bug fixes have been made.

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

;Newly Added Features

;Bug Fixes

* 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 temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.

;Battles

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

;Other

* Certain actions prevented the main character's expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.

* A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season's results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.

|-

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

;Feature Adjustments

*Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.

;Bug Fixes

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.

*Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.

*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark's type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type.

*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark's type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.

;Pokémon GO Connectivity

;Other

*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.

Release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet

*Trainers who have purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will now be able to enjoy adventures in Part 1: The Teal Mask. Please click here for more details on Part 1: The Teal Mask.

*For Trainers who have not purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, additional Pokémon may appear via local or online communication modes.

*You will now be able lock the mini map that appears while you are out in the field so that up is always north. You can do this by pressing the Right Stick twice while you have the map app open to select the App and mini maps locked setting.

*Camera settings have been added to the Options menu. These settings will let you adjust how the camera works while you are out in the field.

*While using the Union Circle, Trainers can now share photos they have taken with the camera app during that Union Circle session with the friends they are playing with.

*We have added a feature to TM Machines that allows you to filter for moves your Pokémon can learn. By interacting with a TM Machine and selecting the option to filter for learnable moves, you will be able to display only TMs containing moves that a specific Pokémon can learn.

*We have fixed a bug where the Itemfinder Mark would not be applied to a Pokémon even if the conditions were met.

*Wild Pokémon that have the Titan Mark will now reappear in the field after a certain amount of time if they have been defeated.

|

*Certain Pokémon had their data adjusted.

**Many Pokémon's [[TM]] compatibility was increased, often involving moves the evolutionary relatives could learn but that stage could not.

**Certain Pokémon acquired new [[Move Reminder]] and [[Egg Moves]]; most notably [[Lake guardians]] and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}}, respectively, who did not have any at all.

Bug Fixes

*Under certain conditions, victories against the NPC Trainers scattered across the game world may not have been recorded. As a result, the rewards players could earn by winning a certain number of battles — such as from Pokémon League representatives in the Paldea region or Ogre Clan members in the land of Kitakami — were not obtainable. This bug has been fixed, so players who experienced this issue can now challenge affected NPC Trainers again to record their victories and subsequently receive any eligible rewards.

*It was not previously possible to transfer certain special Pokémon to Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet via Pokémon HOME if those Pokémon were brought into Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, even if a Pokémon of the same species had already been obtained in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet prior to version 1.3.2. This bug has been fixed, and the issue has been resolved.

*Trainers who have purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will now be able to enjoy adventures in Part 2: The Indigo Disk. Please click here for more details on Part 2: The Indigo Disk.

*For Trainers who have not purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, additional Pokémon may appear via local or online communication modes.

*The difficulty of the Ogre Oustin' minigame has been adjusted.

Bug Fixes

|3.0.1

| January 31, 2024

|

*Some materials needed to craft TM223 (Metal Sound) were previously dropped by a Pokémon that appears in only one version of the game. This issue has been resolved. Shieldon Claws are no longer required to craft TM223 (Metal Sound).

*After players installed the Item Printer in the League Club Room, under certain circumstances players could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This bug has been fixed. Affected players can now get unstuck by speaking to the character next to the Item Printer and selecting “I want to print something!”

*Certain moves that Calyrex could learn via TM only while united with Glastrier or Spectrier would remain in Calyrex's move set even after Calyrex separated from Glastrier or Spectrier. Furthermore, even if those moves were forgotten, Calyrex could then remember those moves without being united with Glastrier or Spectrier. This bug has been fixed.

*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Notes:

*v1.0.0 is present on the physical game cards, and is playable on a Switch whose internet connection remains off.

*The titles of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are similar to [[Core series#Unused trademarks|several Japanese trademarks]] registered by [[Nintendo]], [[Creatures, Inc.|Creatures]], and [[Game Freak]] in 2008 and 2009. The Chinese titles use the same characters as two of the trademarks.
