Pokemon Scarlet and Violet update coming soon (version 1.2.0), patch notes
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company had previously announced that a significant update for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet was scheduled to release in February, providing bug fixes and adding new functionality. While we still don’t know when exactly the update will release this month, patch notes detailing the update’s additions have been released.
The main focus seems to revolve around Pokemon Box management, with the update making several quality-of-life changes to make navigating that menu more comfortable. Beyond that, a sweeping set of bug fixes are coming to Tera Raid Battles, as well as a handful of fixes coming to the general battle system and other elements of the game.
Contrary to last update, no special highlight is given to resolving issues surrounding the game’s performance, although presumably some of the changes made will improve this as well. It should also be noted that further features and bug fixes not listed in these patch notes are set to release with the update, so these aren’t the full list of changes either.

Another distribution has just started up for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and for a limited time, players can nab the Tera Blast TM.
This can be obtained while playing the game, but it doesn’t hurt to pick up another one – especially as it can come in handy.
