Gastrodon will appear in your game at level 50. Earth Power, Ice Beam, Yawn, and Protect are its moves. It has the Storm Drain ability and is holding the Leftovers item.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Bronzong distribution Japan Championships 2023

The Pokemon Japan Championships 2023 are happening in Japan, and a special Bronzong distribution is being held in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet to celebrate. This is what was used by Yasuharu Shimizu who won the Senior World Champion last year.

Bronzong comes in at level 50 like most distributions. Body Press, Iron Defense, Protect, and Trick Room are its moves. Bronzong will also be holding the Leftovers item.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet distribution TM028 and TM086

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are back with another distribution, and there are two TMs up for grabs – specifically TM028 and TM086, or Bulldoze and Rock Slide.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet update 1.3.1

With a new update having been made available for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, the Switch games are now at version 1.3.1.

The problem prevented players from seeing their rating and exiting out of the competition between battles.

For a limited time, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players can partake in a Gold Bottle Cap distribution.
