Everything Announced For Pokémon Day (Kotaku)

The Scarlet and Violet DLC Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will be coming later this year.

While you won’t be able to play the DLC immediately, preordering it will immediately net you new school outfits and a Hisuian Zoroark. You’ll be able to catch the legendary Ogerpon and Terapagos, as well as Pokémon from older generations that are version dependent. If you score well enough in the new update, you’ll be able to get one of the Scarlet and Violet starter Pokémon to join your cafe. Doing so should be easier now than it was in the past, since Pokémon Home support for Scarlet and Violet are planned for “early 2023.” You’ll be able to send postcards to your friends once the update launches. Violet players will have a chance to capture the grass and psychic type Iron Leaves, which is based on Virizion. If you link Go Plus with your Go account, you’ll be able to catch a Snorlax with a nightcap. The three rivals of Sword and Shield will be coming to Masters EX. By linking your Go account with Scarlet or Violet, you’ll be able to spawn roaming Gimmighoul in the AR game. The Pokémon MOBA game has added a legendary to its roster—the mascot of Pokémon Sword, Zacian. The Pokémon sleep-tracking app has been teased for so long that even the presenter had to acknowledge that “we’ve kept you all waiting.” Wait no more. The big annual competitive Pokémon tournament will be taking place on August 11 to 13 this year. You can pre-order the Steam version of the game for 10% off from most Green Man Gaming which is set to release on March 28.

The Most Valuable Generation VIII Pokémon Cards (Den of Geek)

Before the Pokémon Trading Card Game begins its Generation IX block, let's remember the most valuable cards from Sword & Shield.

[Charizard Rising Flames Figurine](https://www.ebay.com/itm/334453451852?hash=item4ddefaac4c:g:TnQAAOSwqkpijpud&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4GGHDX9286IVSwqN8bgffeFedPVYH2hXIihzG23B%2BwGF5LJRPrCRtLAKZvWKX8OOPtXQrBRUr1a662BZZj29ogAe7o7SwqUSp96jI%2BuqJWHNEpOOnNphuM8yai9xXWNENm7i5HDleE9zDxuM%2BZkadFAp%2BHlHXQ8%2FiINf9BRKMhuVGZOtuLP2PGgmgE2UhE8zSPRzFjjkRpVIpQzNS4UC%2BUWTftzvoQbU%2BWYEHMfeoMntJYkzqAg%2FLnGSp7EimDRwHrMaV9BkCRZ%2BNsUwmkrS3elLWZGixNYCp0WeBUTDrFsr%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8D1y4jBYQ) – Charizard is one of Pokémon’s most iconic creations for a reason and this striking figurine will remind everyone of why. Ever since the Pokémon Trading Card Game launched in 1996, “Black Star” promo cards have been among the most sought-after treasures for collectors. As the freshest card on this list, Origin Forme Dialga VStar has a great chance of increasing in value. With Lugia VStar decks in vogue in the Pokémon TCG, competitors and collectors alike scrambled to find the stunning alternate art version of Lugia V, driving up its value immensely. Of all those legendaries, Giratina was undoubtedly the most sought-after and valuable. It’s always nice when one of the Original 151 (aside from Pikachu and Charizard) really gets to shine on a Pokémon card. Pound for pound, this Eeveelution might just be the coolest overall card in all of Sword & Shield history. Midway through the Sword & Shield block, The Pokémon Company really let card illustrators do their thing, and the quality of alternate art cards improved immensely. And in this case, what they wanted was Chonky Pikachu back. This Rainbow VMax version from the smaller set, Champion’s Path, ended up being the most valuable. Cost Range: Ultimately, the Sword & Shield block would run for 17 sets of releases totaling nearly 3,000 unique cards.

Dondozo and Tatsugiri were getting free stat boosts with Order Up until now.

Most attacks that have secondary effects miss out on those if they don’t actually make contact, which made Order Up a powerful outlier, and the Dondozo/Tatsugiri team comp pretty overpowered.

Everything You Need To Know About Pokémon Scarlet's Exclusive ... (Kotaku)

After teasing them in the main game, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have finally introduced two new Paradox Pokémon available through tera raids.

Whatever Pokémon you choose to bring, keep in mind that Walking Wake will be at level 75 as part of a five-star tera raid. Technically, Walking Wake is a Scarlet exclusive, but both games pull from the same raid pool when you enter the Poké Portal in the main menu. Of the ancient Pokémon, Walking Wake is the only one to be based off a legendary Pokémon. While many players (myself included) expected Walking Wake to play into Scarlet and Violet’s This is notable, because this makes Walking Wake the only Paradox Pokémon in Violet that is available for a limited time. Walking Wake is an ancient version of Suicune, a legendary beast who first appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver, then went on to be the version mascot of Pokémon Crystal. While the original Suicune is an elegant beast, Walking Wake has a lot more going on in its design and takes on more reptilian features. Electric Pokémon are your best bet, as the boss doesn’t really have a great option for most of these without any ground-type attacks. Walking Wake will cast Sunny Day as soon as the battle starts, and most of its strength and attacks are centered around it manipulating the weather like this. So Walking Wake can hit hard right out of the gate. You can pre-order the Steam version of the game for 10% off from most Green Man Gaming which is set to release on March 28. Walking Wake is a prehistoric version of Suicune that appears in Scarlet and Iron Leaves, a futuristic interpretation of Virizion, is obtainable in Violet.
