Link Codes existed in previous Pokemon games, allowing players to battle and trade with friends, but Game Freak expanding the number of characters in them made it easier than ever to set up specific trades in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Some things never change in Pokemon. The power of the Thunderbolt move is among that list, with the move being a great offensive option all the way from Pokemon Red & Blue in the 1990s to today with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Some have proven true, some have come from reliable sources, and just as many have come from bad sources and have been proven false. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans should take all unofficial information with a grain of salt, regardless of a source’s track record.

Avid Pokemon game players would likely agree that finding shiny Pokemon is a big challenge. What more for legendary Pokemon such as Zacian and Zamazenta, wherein players likely have only one chance to encounter and capture them. These shiny encounters are so rare that hardcore players often resort to saving and restarting their games so often, for the off-chance that the single encounter would gift them the appearance of a shiny Pokemon....

One of the big changes to Pokemon Sun and Moon was the decision to make it a more globally accessible multiplayer experience.

Its first ability is a basic one: Run Away, which makes it easier to escape wild battles in Pokemon Sword and Shield. The second is more eye-catching, and it’s called Pastel Veil.
