How to Save Your Game Manually

Save Manually

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV Save Manually

You can save your game manually by pressing the X button to open the menu and selecting "Save".

Is There Autosave?

Autosave is Available

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV Autosave Option

Just like in previous games, auto-save is available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet for the players' convenience.

Your game will autosave whenever you enter and leave locations, as well as after catching a wild Pokemon. You'll notice the words “Now saving...” at the top left corner of your screen when it's autosaving!

Turn On Autosave in Options

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV Autosave Option

Auto-save can be turned on or off from the menu by going to Options, then enabling Autosave.

How Many Save Files Are There?

You Can Only Have 1 Save File

You're only allowed 1 save file per system. If you plan on starting a new game, you must delete the old save file first before starting a new game, as you can't overwrite a save file with a new game. Alternatively, you can start a new game on a different user profile if you want to keep your current save data.

How to Restart or Delete Save Data

Best Time to Save

Save Before Important Battles

SV - Leader Iono Bellibolt vs Komala.png

It's recommended to save before important battles, such as with Gym Leaders, your rival, Titan Pokemon, and Starfall Bosses.

Saving your progress before a difficult fight will allow you to reset your game if you ever lose and get sent to a distant Pokemon Center.

When Rerolling Legendary Pokemon

Saving before an encounter with a Legendary Pokemon will allow you to reroll its Nature and IVs. Since the Nature and IVs of Pokemon are reset on each encounter, it's possible to reset repeatedly until you have obtained the Nature and IVs of your choosing.

You can also use this when shiny hunting a legendary Pokemon!
