Summary
Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave released update 3.0.1 to the masses, and it does a lot more than simply fix the issue with Dragon Cheer.Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave received multiple updates since their launch in 2022. Some of these updates were announced in advance, including Update 3.0.1, which was promised to fix an issue with the Dragon Cheer move.
It was discovered thatPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Dragon Cheer was bugged. Pokemon that use Dragon Cheer have a greater chance of landing critical hits in battle, but the effect is supposed to go away when the Pokemon is switched out. Unfortunately, Dragon Cheer has not been working as intended, with Pokemon able to retain their increased critical hit chance even after being pulled out of battle. With this bug potentially having an impact on the competitivePokemonscene, The Pokemon Company was quick to promise a fix, with the update originally expected to land at some point in mid-January before being pushed back to February 1.
Update 1.0.3 forPokemon Scarlet and Violetis live now and fixes Dragon Cheer as promised, but also makes some additional fixes. For example, prior to the update, there was a glitch wherePokemon Scarlet and Violetbutton input would stop working if players leveled up an Inkay to level 29 or lower using items. A bug getting players stuck betweenthe Item Printerand the wall in the League Club Room has also been fixed, along with other “select” bugs.
Besides bug fixes,Pokemon Scarlet and VioletUpdate 3.0.1 makes some other improvements to the Switch exclusive games. Before downloading the latest update, players needed Shieldon Claws to craft TM223 (Metal Sound), with the catch being thatShieldon can only spawn inPokemon Violet. To rectify this oversight, TM223 no longer requires Shieldon Claws to craft.
It’s entirely possible that this will be the last important update forPokemon Scarlet and Violet, but there is some evidence that fans still have at least one more big update on the horizon. A reputable leaker has teased thatPokemon Scarlet and Violetare adding a new Mythical Pokemon, though that has yet to be confirmed by any official sources.Pokemonfans should take the information with a grain of salt until Game Freak, Nintendo, or The Pokemon Company decide to reveal more information about the future they have plans forPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
