Unfortunately, even though Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been available on the Nintendo Switch for quite a while now, the new generation of Pokemon games is still dealing with bug issues. Even though the games have gotten some new downloadable content, there has still been some bugs being reported by fans.
That said, a brand new update has been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet tonight. Once you update, they should be at version 3.0.1. This update, fortunately, does focus on fixing some bugs.You can see the patch notes in full down below.
Bug Fixes
- If the player used items to level up an Inkay to Lv. 29 or lower, the game would stop responding to button input. This bug has been fixed.
- Some materials needed to craft TM223 (Metal Sound) were previously dropped by a Pokémon that appears in only one version of the game. This issue has been resolved. Shieldon Claws are no longer required to craft TM223 (Metal Sound).
- After players installed the Item Printer in the League Club Room, under certain circumstances players could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This bug has been fixed. Affected players can now get unstuck by speaking to the character next to the Item Printer and selecting “I want to print something!”
- When a Pokémon under the effect of Dragon Cheer was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This bug has been fixed.
- Certain moves that Calyrex could learn via TM only while united with Glastrier or Spectrier would remain in Calyrex’s move set even after Calyrex separated from Glastrier or Spectrier. Furthermore, even if those moves were forgotten, Calyrex could then remember those moves without being united with Glastrier or Spectrier. This bug has been fixed.
- Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Did they make the game good yet?
Pigs will surely fly before they do.
It’s good now
It’s already good
The gameplay was always good, it’s just everything on the performance/optimization side is so poorly done it diminishes the experience. The games are nowhere close to anything better than “decent”, but I’ve been having way more fun with Violet than I ever did with Shield, that’s for certain.
No matter the update, the game still looks really bad at its current state.
you stupid nerd
Who? You?
don’t really care how games look.
Did they add guns yet? Lol oh they need a mature pokemon series. Where your like a pokemon ranger or something. Build towns, prevent disasters. Tend to pokemon or do side quests. Build camps, develop an economy, farm with pokemon, and the map can just beike a giant state park kind of thing…… Just an idea. But it would be nice to have a more mature series for more long term fans.
i waited 3 whole hours for this bullshit update🤦♂️
This was always just going to be a hotfix for things like the Metal Sound and Inkay glitches. They even gave away copies of the TM for Metal Sound while telling people that a hotfix was coming. Was anyone still expecting anything other than this hotfix even after that?
