Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are gearing up for a new Tera Raid Battle event that will focus on Eevee.

Pokémon Scarlet Violet The Indigo Disk DLC release date

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet now has a release date. Players can look forward to the new content on December 14, it’s been announced.

The Indigo Disk is the second part of the The Hidden Treasure of Area DLC. It has players traveling to Blueberry Academy, a sister school of their own academy, as exchange students. While this tale is split into two parts, they link together to tell a connected story.​ Pokemon that previously didn’t appear in Scarlet and Violet will be showing up here.

The second episode for the Pokemon: Paldean Winds animated web series has now been posted online. As a reminder, the show ties in with the previously-released Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet on Switch.

Pokemon: Paldean Winds follows academy students Ohara, Aliquis, and Hohma as they go on a journey of growth and learning. Before the arrival of a certain transfer student, three students at an academy in Paldea are tasked with making a video showcasing their school. In the second episode, Aliquis and Meowscarada can’t seem to beat Nemona despite winning many other battles. Aliquis is then advised by his older brother to stop using a Pokemon after it loses a match. 

Paradox Pokemon are one of Scarlet and Violet’s coolest new features. And as is the case with most cool Pokemon, they’re only available at the very end of the game in a place called Area Zero. If you’re looking to catch a few Paradox Pokemon to fill up your Pokedex, we’ve listed all their locations down below. Note that past Paradox Pokemon are exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet, while future Paradox forms are exclusive to Pokemon Violet.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Shiny breeding

For the most part, catching Shiny Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet is easier than ever before, and we’re written up a guide specifically for breeding.

In this game, hunting Shiny Pokemon in the wild is much faster than hatching them from Eggs. That being said, there are more than a few Pokemon that can only be Shiny if you hatch them from an Egg – this includes starter Pokemon, Hisuian forms, and more. Fortunately, the famous Masuda Method is back, and you’ll need to take full advantage of it to get your Shiny Pokemon as quickly as possible. Our breeding guide walks you through the specifics of the Masuda Method as well as how to hatch your next target as efficiently as possible.
