Nintendo announced that the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Version 1.3.0 patch was posted online on April 19th, 2023. Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Patches page has been updated with the latest details.

Ver. 1.3.0 (Released April 19, 2023)

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series. On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

Support for Trainers Who Caught an Egg Instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in Tera Raid Battles

Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

Feature Adjustments

A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.
  • Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
  • After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

Bug Fixes

Link Battles
  • Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
  • Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.

Battles
  • Fixed a bug where the Cud Chew Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark’s type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark’s type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
  • Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

Pokémon GO Connectivity
  • Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

Other
  • Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
  • Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Nintendo has posted an information update for player that are having issues with Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid Battles and have not updated to Version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Version 1.2.0 was posted online on February 27th, 2023. Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Patches page has been updated with the latest details.

Issue With "Walking Wake" and "Iron Leaves" Tera Raid Battles (Pokémon Scarlet / Pokémon Violet)

Please allow us to explain the support planned for players who caught Eggs from Tera Raid Battles instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves due to participating in the battles before updating their Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game software to Ver. 1.2.0.

If a player caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in their Tera Raid Battle, their game software will no longer allow them to catch those Pokémon. We have an update planned for release by the end of April that will fix this issue and allow players to catch Walking Wake and Iron Leaves.

We will also bring back a Tera Raid Battle event for Walking Wake and Iron Leaves when this update is released so that players who caught Eggs instead will be able to catch one of each of these Pokémon. More information on the update and the return of this event will be announced closer to the release of the update.

We apologize for the trouble this bug has caused for the players who experienced it.

Ver. 1.2.0 (Released February 27, 2023)

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series. On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

Newly Added Features
  • The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the Pokémon Scarlet game or the Pokémon Violet game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit The Pokémon Company.
  • Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.

Feature Adjustments
  • Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:

  • The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

Bug Fixes
Tera Raid Battles
  • A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
  • A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
  • Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
  • A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

Battles
  • Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
  • We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the Check Target option.
  • We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
  • We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
  • We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.
  • allizes after using Destiny Bond and then faints, the effects of Destiny Bond will fail to activate. This is a bug and will be fixed.

Other
  • We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
  • We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
  • Certain actions prevented the main character’s expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
  • A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season’s results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
  • We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
  • We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (“Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands”) if that Pokémon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
  • We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pokédex after you received a Shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pokédex.
  • Objects such as Poké Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
  • Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
  • A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.

OVER ONE THOUSAND POKÉMON ACROSS THE FRANCHISE NOW DISCOVERED

Image

More Mysterious Pokémon Spotted in the Great Crater of Paldea!

BELLEVUE, WA—January 12, 2023—The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo celebrated discovering over one thousand Pokémon across all titles with the reveal of Gholdengo. The new Pokémon evolves from Chest Form Gimmighoul or Roaming Form Gimmighoul in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games.

More details were also shared about the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, available now exclusively on the Nintendo Switch system.

Introducing Gholdengo

Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo when it levels up after its Trainer has collected 999 Gimmighoul Coins. Apparently, Gholdengo is a lively and cheerful Pokémon whose body is made of a thousand coins.

Gholdengo functions by controlling the coins that comprise its body, and it even uses them as weapons in battle. The coins are densely packed, making Gholdengo durable. Gholdengo can attack by firing coins from anywhere on its body.

Height: 3'11" (1.2 m)
Weight: 66.1 lbs. (30 kg)

Mysterious Pokémon Discovered in the Great Crater of Paldea

In the center of the Paldea region lies the Great Crater of Paldea. A strange place called Area Zero is spread out across this crater, and mysterious Pokémon that are barely seen outside of the Great Crater of Paldea call it home.

Introducing Roaring Moon:
An article in a suspicious magazine says that this Pokémon looks similar to a Salamence that has undergone a certain phenomenon that occurs elsewhere in the world. According to this article, this creature is said to scatter feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey, and it’s thought to be extremely savage.*

Height: 6'7" (2 m)
Weight: 837.8 lbs. (380 kg)

Introducing Scream Tail:

Scream Tail has reportedly been sighted in a Paldean forest. This Pokémon shares Jigglypuff’s endearing puffball appearance, but its ferocious aggression leads it to attack anyone who comes near. Its primitive looks and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff as it would have existed a billion years ago.*

Name: Scream Tail
Category: Paradox Pokémon
Type: Fairy/Psychic
Height: 3'11" (1.2 m)
Weight: 17.6 lbs. (8 kg)

Type: Ground/Fighting
Height: 7'3" (2.2 m)
Weight: 705.5 lbs. (320 kg)

Introducing Iron Valiant:

An article in a suspicious magazine tells of a theory that this Pokémon is, in fact, a robot—the product of a mad scientist’s efforts to create the most powerful psychic Pokémon of all. The article describes Iron Valiant as resembling both Gardevoir and Gallade. Iron Valiant is also said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.*

Image

Name: Iron Valiant
Category: Paradox Pokémon
Type: Fairy/Fighting
Height: 4'7" (1.4 m)
Weight: 77.2 lbs. (35 kg)

Introducing Iron Bundle:

A suspicious magazine reports that Iron Bundle resembles Delibird and that it possesses a spherical apparatus from which it fires huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands. The magazine also says that many theories have been floated about this Pokémon, with a leading one suggesting that Iron Bundle is the product of a long-gone civilization.*

Image

Name: Iron Bundle
Category: Paradox Pokémon
Type: Ice/Water
Height: 2' (0.6 m)
Weight: 24.3 lbs. (11 kg)

Type: Ground/Steel
