Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny breeding guide

Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments

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.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet getting new physical release with Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Original (9/26): Nintendo has announced a new physical release for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet that will include The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. It has been confirmed for Europe and Japan thus far, and presumably North America will be seeing it on the same day as well.

This is a bit of an odd move as not all of the content will be included on the cartridge. The Teal Mask is immediately accessible, but players will need to download an update for The Indigo Disk. It’s unclear why Nintendo and The Pokemon Company aren’t simply waiting for the second part of the DLC to ship out a complete physical version.
