Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)

Version 3.0.1 Patch Update (Inkay and Dragon Cheer Bug Fix)

Version 3.0.1 Patch Update has been released on February 1, 2024 and have fixed bugs affecting players in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV), following the release of The Indigo Disk Part 2 DLC. Read on for the full patch notes for the new feature and bug fixes including a Metal Sound TM Material oversight and a level up bug affecting Inkay.

3.0.1 Patch Update Major Fixes

3.0.1 Patch Released

Patch 3.0.1 addressed 2 new issues which arose with The Indigo Disk DLC. The first is an oversight which has left Pokemon Scarlet players unable to farm the materials needed to craft TM 223 (Metal Sound). The second issue to be resolved is a bug which causes the game to fail to register button inputs when levelling up Inkay with items while below level 30.

As you can see in the table above, one of the required Materials to craft Metal Sound (TM 223) is Shieldon Claw. This Material however is unavailble for Pokemon Scarlet Players, as Shieldon is a Pokemon Violet Version Exclusive, essentially locking them out of accessing this TM. This oversight will be addressed in this patch update.

Dragon Cheer Critical Hit Boost Stays After Switching Out

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dragon Cheer Glitch

In Version 3.0.0 of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Dragon Cheer's critical hit boost on a Dragon-type ally lingers even after the boosted Dragon-type Pokemon was switched out in battle and brought back in. Normally, stat boosts are removed after a Pokemon is switched out in battle, but a bug in the game caused Dragon Cheer's effect to still be active even if the affected Pokemon was switched out.

The critical boost notice in the Check Status screen during the battle will not be present after the affected Pokemon is brought back in battle, but it will still be able to easily deal critical hits.

Inkay Level Up Bug

Another bug introduced with The Indigo Disk DLC leaves the game unresponsive when levelling up Inkay in certain situations. When Inkay is leveled up while below level 30 using items like Rare Candy or Exp. Candy, players encounter a glitch. After the level-up message is displayed, the game becomes unresponsive to any button inputs, affecting gameplay. This issue has been identified and is expected to be addressed in this upcoming patch to ensure smooth gameplay experience.
