As part of the Pokemon World Championships 2022, a new Victini event code has been made available for Pokemon Sword and Shield.

The creature comes in at level 50 and has the moves V-create, Zen Headbutt, Work Up, and Flame Charge. Its ability, Victory Star, boosts accuracy for itself and other Pokemon by 10%.

Pokemon Sword Shield Grimmsnarl

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are now hosting a new Max Raid Battle event that puts the focus on Grimmsnarl.

During the event, the creature is more likely to appear. Additionally, those that are lucky enough may encounter a Shiny version. Of course, there’s no guarantee that Shiny Grimmsnarl will appear, so you may have to enter a number of Max Raid Battles before one shows up.

To celebrate the Pokemon Masters Tournament in the anime, Ash’s current team is being distributed via event code for Pokemon Sword and Shield in Japan. Despite it being targeted in this region, it seems players worldwide can take advantage.

The creature comes in at level 80 and has the moves Fishious Rend, Dragon Rush, Ice Fang, and Water Gun. Also, the ability Strong Jaw is included that boosts the strength of Fishious Rend.

Toby Fox Undertale Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Original (6/1): Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, has confirmed that he composed a few music tracks for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

Once he made a concept sketch, “Game Freak arranged it into many versions that you’ll hear throughout the game.” Fans can actually get a small taste of Fox’s work as it was featured in the new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, available here.
