7 Star Venusaur Guide Pokemon Scarlet Violet

One announcement from the recent Pokemon Presents was new 7 Star Tera Raid Battles for Scarlet and Violet. One such event is 7 Star Venusaur, which is currently live.

Venusaur is a tough one – certainly one of the toughest yet. Even with adequate preparation, it took us a few tries to take it down. At the beginning of the match, Venusaur uses Sunny Day to activate its Chlorophyll Ability, and then it uses Growth to sharply boost its offenses. From there, it knows Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, and Earth Power as its attacking moves, plus Amnesia to boost Special Defense. The event lasts until March 5.

competitive pokemon guide Scarlet Violet

Today, we’ll be walking you through the process of making your favorite Pokemon ready for battles with a competitive guide. This aspect has existed for as long as the franchise has – but with each passing generation, Game Freak and the Pokemon Company have made competitive battling more and more accessible. IVs, EVs, leveling up, held items, and much more are involved.

Pocket Card Jockey Ride On

Pokemon developer Game Freak today revealed that a Switch version of Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On is happening. It’s launching digitally today.

After Game Freak made the original title for 3DS in 2013, Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On was released as a new version for Apple Arcade last year. It contains extra content such as the Goldfish horse and “Perfect Challenge” mode.

Here’s some additional information:

Lugia location Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Today, we’re once again continuing our coverage of Legendary Pokemon locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with a Lugia location guide. In this game, returning Legendary Pokemon can only be accessed via the Indigo Disk DLC.

Lugia and Ho-Oh are Generation II’s signature Legendary Pokemon. Unlike previous games in the series where Ho-Oh and Lugia were available, neither of them are version exclusive this time around. Like all of the other Legendary Pokemon in the Indigo Disk, you can only access Lugia from an NPC named Snacksworth – who for some reason is capable of summoning Legendary Pokemon to Paldea.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Luvdisc Tera Raid Battle

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have pulled back the curtain on the next Tera Raid Battle event, which features Luvdisc.

This creature will be popping up in 3 to 5 Star Raids. It comes with the Fairy Tera Type, and you’ll be able to obtain a higher amount of Exp. Candy and Rare Candy.

Today, we’re continuing our coverage of Legendary Pokemon locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with a Ho-Oh location guide. These Legendary Pokemon can only be accessed via the Indigo Disk, and we’ve also cataloged each of their locations on Paldea’s map.

Ho-Oh and Lugia are Generation II’s signature Legendary Pokemon. Unlike previous games in the series, neither Ho-Oh nor Lugia are version exclusive. This means you can catch both of these Pokemon regardless of the version of the game you’re playing. Like all of the other Legendary Pokemon in the Indigo Disk, you can only access Ho-Oh from an NPC named Snacksworth who is somehow capable of summoning Legendary Pokemon to Paldea.
