Patch 1.3.1 for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) was released on May 25, 2023 and will address issues affecting the Japanese and Korean players qualifying for the National Championships and World Championships. Read on to learn when this patch will release and the issues it will address.

1.3.2 Tournament Mechanic Update

Will Adjust Mechanics for Upcoming Live Tournaments

Released in June 28, 2023, a new patch update was released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to adjust game mechanics in preparation for upcoming live tournaments. The most notable upcoming live tournament is the Pokemon VGC World Championships, Yokohama, held from August 11~13.

1.3.2 Live Tournament Patch Update

Patch Update on May 25

Will Address Issues Affecting Online Tournaments

Starting May 25, 2023, a new patch update will release for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to address issues affecting Japanese and Korean players qualifying for the National Championships and World Championships.

Affected players have already received emails addressing the issues encountered during the online competition.

Players Unable to See Their Rankings

Players affected by the issues are unable to see their current rankings during the online competition, essentially preventing them from tracking their progress to qualify for the National and World Championships.

Players are Matched with the Same Opponents

Players affected by the issues often encounter a bug where they are sometimes matched with the same opponent multiple times in a row.

Players Unable to Exit Out Between Battles

Additonally, players are unable to exit properly from the Online Competition between matches in the Online Competition lobby. This means players are unable to play the game without hard resetting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

No Other Fixes or Updates Disclosed

No Fix for Raid Event Bug

Since this patch was previously announced to fix the issues regarding Online Tournaments, this patch will likely not fix the Tera Raid Event bug that was recently discovered from the Great Tusk and Iron Treads Raids.

A different update to specifically target this issue will likely be released later on, as well as a re-run of the Chesnaught and Paradox Pokemon Raids.

Chesnaught, Paradox Tera Raids, and Pokemon HOME Compatibility Cancelled!

Unlikely to Bring Pokemon Home Support

The upcoming patch is set to only address issues relating to the online competition affecting Japanese and Korean Qualifiers.

As the patch is due to address an unintended behavior in the game, it's unlikely that it will bring Pokemon HOME support to the game.

Pokemon HOME Support Release Date

Make Up Tournament on May 28

Korean and Japanese Players to Redo Qualifying Tournament

According to the emails, a make up tournament for Japanese and Korean Players will be held on May 28 after the patch is released to give affected Japanese and Korean players a chance to qualify for the National and World Championships.
