Virizion Location Guide Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Our coverage of the many, many returning Legendary Pokemon locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet continues today with a Virizion location guide. In this game, returning Legendary Pokemon can only be accessed via the Indigo Disk DLC – they’re unavailable for capture in the base game.

Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion form the Swords of Justice trio introduced in the Unova games. They’ve also each got Paradox counterparts in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, respectively. Usually, Pokemon with future Paradox counterparts are exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet. That’s not the case here, though – Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion can be found in both versions of the game.

Xbox Switch games

Speculation has run rampant as of late about multiple Xbox titles coming to Switch. That has now proven true – sort of.

Xbox dropped a new podcast today vaguely going over its plans for the future. It’s now confirmed that four of its games will be released on other platforms, which should include Switch (and PlayStation). What are those titles, you ask? Right now it’s a bit of a mystery. Xbox’s Phil Spencer said that they’re not sharing the names, but speculation points to Hi-Fi Rush (already heavily rumored), Sea of Thieves, Grounded, and Pentiment as the ones making the jump.


Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Mr. Krabs moveset

Tying in with the start of DLC for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, a new spotlight trailer has come online featuring Mr. Krabs and his moveset.

While he takes damage and hits opponents, money will be thrown around – which is true to the character’s nature. Collecting more money increases his speed and special attacks will be buffed. When the money meter is full, Mr. Krabs can perform a powerful finisher with his down special. Note that if he gets knocked out, the meter will be reset. As you can tell, much of his moveset revolves around money.
