7 Star Blastoise Tera Raid Battle guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
The 7 Star Blastoise Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is now live, and it’s thankfully a little bit easier than the 7 Star Venusaur earlier this week – assuming you have the right Pokemon, that is.
The new 7 Star Blastoise event lasts until March 12, and it’s got a decently threatening moveset. It uses Shell Smash when a quarter of its health has been taken out, which boosts its offenses and its Speed stat. It also uses Rain Dance halfway through the battle to boost the strength of its Hydro Pump. Blastoise itself is Tera Steel and can use Hydro Pump, Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere, and Iron Defense whenever it wants. We’ve put together a couple of counters you can use to take it down easily.

Cobalion location guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re continuing our coverage of the many Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC with a Cobalion location guide. As a reminder, you can only catch these Pokemon after you clear the DLC’s main story – they’re unavailable for capture in the main game.
Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion form the Swords of Justice trio introduced in Pokemon Black and White. They’ve also each got their own future Paradox counterparts in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Iron Crown, Iron Boulder, and Iron Leaves, respectively. None of the Swords of Justice are exclusive to either Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet, which means you can catch Cobalion regardless of the version you’re playing.

[Let’s Talk] Pokemon Legends: Z-A hopes and dreams
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends is now officially a series of its own with this week’s announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. There won’t be a big new Pokemon game this year, but we know that this new one will be arriving in 2025.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which launched at the very beginning of 2022, was a new take on the RPG formula we’ve grown accustomed to over the past few decades. There was more of an action element and it was even possible to catch different creatures simply by throwing a Poke Ball as soon as you saw it, which didn’t require you to enter the battle screen. A number of different features and changes were introduced, which seemed to be well received overall.

Zapdos location guide in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re once again continuing our coverage of Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with a Zapdos location guide. There are tons of returning Legendary Pokemon available in this game, and they’re all unlocked once you clear the main story of the Indigo Disk DLC.
Once you’ve done that, an NPC named Snacksworth will appear out front of Blueberry Academy. This character gives you snacks that attract certain Legendary Pokemon to specific places in Paldea. Every time you clear 10 Solo Quests or 1 Group Quest, you’ll earn one random Legendary snack. If you’re specifically hunting for Zapdos, you’ll need to keep clearing quests over and over again until you happen to receive the snack you’re looking for.

7 Star Venusaur Tera Raid Battle guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
One announcement from the recent Pokemon Presents was new 7 Star Tera Raid Battles for Scarlet and Violet. One such event is 7 Star Venusaur, which is currently live.
Venusaur is a tough one – certainly one of the toughest yet. Even with adequate preparation, it took us a few tries to take it down. At the beginning of the match, Venusaur uses Sunny Day to activate its Chlorophyll Ability, and then it uses Growth to sharply boost its offenses. From there, it knows Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, and Earth Power as its attacking moves, plus Amnesia to boost Special Defense. The event lasts until March 5.
