Pokemon scarlet And Violet released last November with a truly hilarious and amazing amount of Graphic errors and bugs. But don’t worry: Nintendo announced a huge February update that should bring us closer to the quality we normally expect from the Pokemon Series. The developers also added quality of life improvements to the Pokémon storage box system.
Here’s what the developers promised to fix:
Graphic and other performance issues
- Most of us know it: You play Scarlet fever And Violet normally, then the game arbitrarily forcibly closes. The developers have promised to fix this. The catch is that fewer NPCs and wild Pokémon will appear in the world.
- You can smile again knowing that the developers are going to fix a bug where your trainer’s facial expression doesn’t change.
- Random passers-by in towns will no longer appear during Pokémon battles.
combat fixes
- Scarlet fever And Violet usually recommended moves based on type matchups. Previously, the battle interface suggested attacks based on Double Battle opponents who had already fainted. This is a bug and will be fixed after the next patch
- Participating in ranked battles does not prevent you from participating in further ranked battles. Previously, players received a communication error after entering the Ranked Battles screen after the seasonal rewards were calculated.
- Normally disguised as another Pokémon, a Terastalized Zoroark can no longer be identified through the “Check Target” option. Its type combos are now properly displayed as its Tera type, rather than the Pokemon it’s disguised as.
- When a Dondozo uses Order Up with a Tatsugiri, its stats no longer increase if the attack is canceled by a move like Protect.
- Destiny Bond is no longer broken by Terastization.
Tera Raids
- The enemy health bar didn’t account for some moves like Play Rough. The UI should show damage correctly after the game updates.
- The patch fixes a bug where all Pokemon on the player’s side passed out even though they still had health points.
- The game will stop connecting if two people see different Pokemon during a Tera Raid
- The developers will fix a bug where the game didn’t register keystrokes while the player was selecting a target.
- The game will randomly generate a different Pokemon than the one selected in the Tera Raid search screen. It should get you to the correct Pokemon after the patch.
- Tera Raid Crystals spawn at their normal rate.
Box improvements
- You can change nicknames, moves, held items, and ribbons from the box menu.
- The Y button can now be used to trade held items.
- You can select all boxes while moving Pokémon and items.
- Battle teams are displayed in a slightly darker color.
Other updates
- Pokémon you’ve traded away and brought back may not listen to you during battle and act as if they were originally acquired through trading.
- Additional Pokédex information for Shiny Pokémon will appear normally. Pokémon from other regions will no longer be registered in the Paldea region.
You should receive the patch automatically if you have set your Nintendo Switch to update automatically. If not, you can update the game manually by pressing the + or – button while on Pokemon Scarlet fever And Violet icon on your home screen. This update will be deployed sometime in late February.
