Pokemon Scarlet Violet Nintendo Switch 2

June 2: A brief trailer has come in for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet showing the game running on Nintendo Switch 2. This comes from a post on the Nintendo Today app.

When the new system comes out this week, players will be able to download a free patch. This makes a number of technical improvements, including a bump up to 60 frames per second. Additionally, the games have been optimized for the display on the system’s screen and high-resolution TVs – meaning improved visual quality.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet update 4.0.0

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are now starting distribution of a brand new version 4.0.0 update. If you own either game, you should be able to download it.

This is the first patch for the game in over a year. With Nintendo Switch 2 on the way and improvements promised, this is what version 4.0.0 is all about. Game Freak has improved the visuals including resolution as well as the frame rate.

The official rundown is as follows:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 7 Star Garchomp Guide

The 7 Star Garchomp Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is live now, and we’ve written a guide full of potential checks and counters. The event goes from now until May 25, and then returns for a second run from May 30 to June 1. This Garchomp is Tera Ground, which bolsters the strength of its Earthquake attacks. It also leaves it weak to Water, Grass, and Ice-type moves.

The next 7 star Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has just been announced, which will feature Garchomp.

Garchomp will be of the Ground Tera Type and, as we always expect, has the Mightiest Mark. It can only be caught once per save file.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 7 Star Metagross Guide

The 7 Star Metagross Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is now live, and we’ve got a guide full of potential team setups. The event continues from now until May 11, but it returns for another run next weekend too. This Metagross is Tera Steel, and it boasts a terrifyingly powerful Meteor Mash that can raise its Attack stat afterward. No Pokemon is immune to Steel, either, so expect a tough battle.

Heads up for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players: another Tera Raid Battle event is happening, this time with Metagross.

Those looking to take on Metagross, who will have the Steel Tera Type, can find the creature in 7 Star Raids. Once again, it will carry the Mightiest Mark and can be caught just once per save file.
