Pokemon Scarlet Violet Garganacl distribution

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have started up a limited time distribution, which will provide players with a special Garganacl from champion Jiseok Lee.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Battle Garchomp Sylveon

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed their latest Tera Raid Battle event, this time featuring Garchomp and Sylveon.

These two creatures will appear more frequently in 4-star and 5-star Tera Raid Battles. Both have various Tera Types, so players will need to prepare wisely before taking them on.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet distribution Love Balls and Destiny Knot

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are now hosting a pair of Mystery Gift distributions for Love Balls and Destiny Knot. 

The Love Ball makes it easier to catch Pokemon of the opposite gender to the user’s Pokemon. As for the Destiny Knot, this is an item to be held and if the holder becomes infatuated, the opposing creature will be as well. You’ll get two Love Balls here and one Destiny Knot.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tandemaus Tera Raid Battle

The Pokemon Company has shared details about a new Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet featuring Tandemaus. This comes in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

While it’s active, Tandemaus will be appearing more frequently in Tera Raid Battles. Keep in mind that it will have various Tera Types. If you defeat them, you’ll be able to earn rewards like Strawberries and Whipped Cream.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet performance issues

In an interview with Financial Post, Nintendo of Canada general manager Susan Pennefather commented on the performance issues players have experienced in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

The biggest problem facing the two games currently concerns the frame rate. During normal gameplay, the action can chug and dip quite heavily. Some have also encountered glitches and general wonkiness while out in the open world.

Speaking with Financial Post, Pennefather had this to say:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Blast TM distribution

Another distribution has just started up for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and for a limited time, players can nab the Tera Blast TM.

This can be obtained while playing the game, but it doesn’t hurt to pick up another one – especially as it can come in handy. According to what’s stated in-game, the move dishes out energy of its Tera Type if the user has Terastallized. It inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat – whichever is higher for the user.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Armarouge Ceruledge

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed the latest Tera Raid Battle event, which will feature Armarouge and Ceruledge. Like we’ve seen in the past, what you’ll encounter depends on the version of the game you have.

Those with Pokemon Scarlet can duke it out against Armarouge. For Pokemon Violet players, Ceruledge will be featured. Expect to see these creatures more frequently in 4-star and 5-star Tera Raid Battles. They will have a variety of Tera Types.

Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! Switch

Game Freak could one day bring Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! to Switch.

The developer is largely known for its work on the mainline Pokemon games going all the way back to the Game Boy. However, the company has also worked on some smaller titles on the side. Pocket Card Jockey was one of them.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Ability Capsule distribution

Another distribution has just gone live in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with players now being able to claim an Ability Capsule.

We’d definitely suggest taking advantage of the distribution since this item can come in handy. Once you use it, the ability for one of your Pokemon can be changed. Note that it only works with one standard ability, meaning you can’t change it to a Hidden Ability.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Greninja 7 Star Tera Raid Battle

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed a new 7 Star Raid Battle event, which will feature Greninja. The creature will be appearing with the Mightiest Mark in black crystal Tera Raid Battles.

Players can attempt to catch the creature between Friday, January 27, 2023, at 00:00 UTC and Sunday, January 29, 2023, at 23:59 UTC. It will then appear again between Friday, February 10, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, February 12, 2023, at 23:59 UTC.
