7 Star Venusaur Tera Raid Battle guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
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.

Virizion location guide in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Our coverage of the many, many returning Legendary Pokemon locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet continues today with a Virizion location guide. In this game, returning Legendary Pokemon can only be accessed via the Indigo Disk DLC – they’re unavailable for capture in the base game.
Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion form the Swords of Justice trio introduced in the Unova games. They’ve also each got Paradox counterparts in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, respectively. Usually, Pokemon with future Paradox counterparts are exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet. That’s not the case here, though – Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion can be found in both versions of the game.

Lugia location guide in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
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.

Ho-Oh location guide in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
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.

Shiny Pokemon that are gone forever when Pokemon Bank closes
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Guides | 0 comments
Nintendo recently announced the almost-complete closure of 3DS and Wii U online services on April 8 – and just about every single game is losing online functionality on that day. Pokemon Bank, however, is the exception. It won’t remain open forever, but eventually Nintendo will cut the cord on all of its online services. When that happens, Pokemon Bank will become unusable and it will be impossible to transfer Pokemon from previous generations to the Switch.
More than a few Pokemon can only be Shiny on Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS titles – on Switch, there’s no way to Shiny hunt any of these Pokemon (at least, not yet). Today, we’re going over a list of Pokemon whose Shiny forms will become unobtainable once Pokemon Bank closes. Again, we’re not entirely sure when this will be, but if you’re looking to save some cool Shiny Pokemon now might be a good time to start hunting.
