Additionally, they requested players to download the latest Poke Portal News. This will suspend 7-Star Chesnaught, as well as 5-Star Great Tusk and Iron Treads Raids while they scramble to patch it. Pokemon have request that if the Great Tusk or Iron Treads Raid Crystal is still present in game, players should not attempt it, and wait for a fix.
Due to a recently discovered problem with the Raid Rewards, players attempting Great Tusk and Iron Treads Raids are reportedly receiving Items labeled as None, causing the game to crash after exiting the reward screen.
After players reported the issue regarding the rewards from the Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, players were unable to find Event Raid Crystals for Chesnaught, Great Tusk or Iron Treads.

A Save File Deleting Bug where your save data is deleted was discovered by players while connecting to Pokemon GO in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
There was a small oversight regarding the code and some players noticed their save data was gone after connecting to Pokemon GO and catching a few Vivillons. And for some players it was after purchasing the DLC which caused their save data to be gone.
Save File Deleted 1.2.0 Bug: How to Fix
There was a small oversight regarding the release of the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid, which caused some players to be able to find the raid in-game, even without downloading the new update. Due to the missing in-game elements, the raid will appear as a Bad Egg, to act as a placeholder for either Walking Wake or Iron Leaves.
Catching the Bad Egg in-game counts as catching Walking Wake or Iron Leaves on that save file, meaning you will be unable to catch it again when you join a different Walking Wake or Iron Leaves raid.
Many players have complained about issues in joining online Tera Raids. One such issue is when players receive a message that says You cannot join this raid due to a problem with the Pokemon in your party.
It's unclear what this actually means, as many who experience this bug have been able to use their Pokemon before. It's likely a communication error and you can simply try to reconnect again! You may be lucky enough to join in the raid!
While opening your map to check your next destination is a pretty regular thing, icons remaining on your screen afterwards is not. Some players have reported having icons hover on their screen until they restarted the game.
While in Tera Raid Battles, HP bars may glitch and show no change despite hitting Pokemon with powerful moves. This has been acknowledged by the Japanese official support website to occur with Play Rough and other moves. You'll have to keep track of the Tera Pokemon's HP by checking it's status or by checking the other HP bar when attacking!

Many players have shared their issues with how the game runs on the Switch, especially when watching NPCs and background elements stutter painfully. Things and people at even minor distances begin to suffer Frame Rate Issues quite quickly, but will smoothen out the closer players get to it.
It's become a rather common bug to jump onto rocks or ledges and get stuck in the falling animation. If you're lucky, you can wiggle your way out of it.
Otherwise, other players have reported clipping through the floor completely.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has a rather small render distance which causes items, people, and Pokemon to pop in often. In cities it can be surprising, but in the wild it can be as bit of a nuisance for Pokemon to appear so suddenly.
Players may also notice that catching Pokemon seems to take a lot out of the game. From floating Pokemon, phasing into Pokemon or clipping into the floor, these are just some of the bugs you might experience when trying to capture a Pokemon or interact with them.
Some players have experienced glitches with their characters, and others have caught glitches of NPC models glitching such as the video above, where the trainer turns into a floating Pokeball!
You may also notice your Pokemon appearing with the wrong or even glitched out textures! This can be fixed by sending your Pokemon back into the Pokeball a few times.
Sometimes Pokemon or people may be caught in a glitched animation. Normally, interacting with them should fix it, but in the worst case you may need to restart your Switch.
Many of these bugs cannot be fixed on the users end. Trainers will have to wait for a new patch to come in and hopefully fix these soon!
This type of error can occur when an issue with the game's code occurs during gameplay, preventing the game from continuing.
Errors of this sort are caused by problems within the game itself and typically do not depend on the user's settings or internet connection.
| How to Fix Bugs and Game Crashing Errors |
|---|
|
|
Because this type of error is caused by an issue with the game's code, it generally cannot be fixed with activity on the user's end.
In this case, players will need to simply wait for a patch issued by developers to fix the related bug. The official Pokemon twitter account will share information on any new patches when they are made available.
You'll also be notified of a Software Update the next time you try to start the game if you are connected to the internet, so stay connected in order to get all new patches straight away.
Even though there is no way for users to fix game bugs directly, you can avoid further game crashes by avoiding previous actions that have caused the error to begin with. Keeping up to date on bug reports and forums can also help you avoid the potentially game breaking crashes.
While playing through the game, it is best to keep the Autosave feature enabled to prevent you from losing progress if and when the game crashes.
Since the introduction of the Autosave feature in generation 8 of the core series games, it is safe to assume that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will also have that feature as well.
If you are still receiving crashing errors from your game even after taking these precautions, it is possible that your copy of the game might have been corrupted during download if you have a Digital Copy.
In this case, you will need to delete the game from your Nintendo Switch and download it again. When you delete the game, you will have the option to keep your save data.
When using an online component of a game, errors can occur in connecting to the game's server. These errors can be caused by problem's with the player's internet connection or settings, or by an issue on the server end, such as the game's server being down for maintenance.
| How to Fix Connectivity Errors |
|---|
|
|
If the server which hosts the game's online component is down for maintenance, it will be impossible for players to connect regardless of their own internet connection.
In this case, the only thing players can do is to wait for the server maintenance to end, or use Local Connectivity instead to connect trades.
The beginning and end of maintenance will typically be announced by the official Pokemon twitter account, so be sure to follow it for any details as they are announced.
If other players that are not connected to your local network are able to access online features without issue, the problem could be caused by your own internet connection.
Check your Nintendo Switch if it is able to access the internet through your local network. If your Swich is not connected to the local network, try restarting your Switch or finding a different network.
If your Switch can connect to the network but not to the internet, check your router or modem to see if they are in working order. If no issues arise with your local network, try to contact your internet service provider for further assistance.
If you try opening up other games or softwares on your Nintendo Switch, and they are also experiencing similar errors as your current game, the problem likely lies within your Nintendo Switch console and not the game iteself.
| How to Fix System Errors |
|---|
|
|
Some software issues are caused by the game not being compatible with your current system software.
To check if your system is currently up-to-date, you can head to System Setting, scroll down to System, and select System Update. If you're current System is not updated, the download should begin automatically.
Many errors with the Nintendo Switch system can be fixed by simply restarting the console. Hold the power button at the top of your Switch and select either Turn Off or Restart.
When your console powers back up, check your games to see if they are still experiencing the same issues. If so, you will likely need to proceed to the next step.
If the above solutions did nothing to solve your system errors, you will likely need to contact Nintendo to have your Nintendo Switch repaired. Many Nintendo Switch consoles will have a repair warranty which last for up to a year.
Set up a repair with Nintendo by reading their repair guidlines and completing a repair order through email.
When your game or save data is stored on physical hardware like Game cards and SD cards, it is possible that the hardware you purchased is defective or damaged.
If after several attempts of removing and inserting the card still causes issues, it will likely need to be replaced. If the issue is with an SD card, it may still be possible to recover some of the data if you are able to transfer it to internal storage.
Game cards and SD cards are usually covered under warranty, so if your item is close to brand new, you can usually exchange it at the retailer it was purchased from.

I completely glitched through a wall and then fell into the sea below the level. Definitely not right. I caught a video, but I can't upload it. I was able to fast travel out just fine. I was in a tunnel, an egg hatched, and a pokemon in the tunnel ran at me and waited until the egg finished hatching to force me into a battle (common, freaky) and I glitched through the tunnel wall when I ran away
