'''Pokémon Scarlet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスタースカーレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Scarlet'') and '''Pokémon Violet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスターバイオレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Violet'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation IX]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on November 18, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2022, at 11 P.M. JST via [[Pokémon Presents#2022|Pokémon Presents]].

[[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was revealed during Pokémon Presents on February 27, 2023. It is a DLC expansion for the games consisting of two parts: [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]]. A further epilogue for the DLC, [[Mochi Mayhem]], was made available on January 11, 2024.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], having just moved to the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with their [[mother]], now lives in the small settlement of [[Cabo Poco]] and prepares to start their studies at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in the region's biggest city, [[Mesagoza]]. The academy's director, [[Clavell]], gives the player a choice of one of three [[first partner Pokémon]] and introduces them to their next-door neighbor and the head of the academy's student council, [[Nemona]]. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Nemona also takes one of the first partner Pokémon in her care in order to train a new team alongside the player. While exploring [[Poco Path]], the player encounters a weak {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which saves them from a pack of angry {{p|Houndour}}. An academy student named [[Arven]] identifies the Pokémon and hands its [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké]] [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Ball]] to the player.

As the player and Nemona make their way to Mesagoza, she introduces them to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and arranges for the player to receive a [[Tera Orb]] so they can utilize the phenomenon as well. In Mesagoza, the player saves a girl named [[Penny]] from being harassed by members of [[Team Star]], a group of delinquent academy students accused of bullying. They are also contacted by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}}, who reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player now travels with was originally under their possession, and asks the player to look after it.

Three days later,<ref>The timelapse shows that it has been three days since the player arrived at the academy.</ref> Director Clavell initiates the Treasure Hunt, an independent study assignment where the {{tc|student}}s of the academy journey across Paldea in order to find something that they can call their own personal treasure. This allows the player to initiate three different storylines, either simultaneously or one by one.

===Victory Road===
At Nemona's urging, the player sets out to challenge the eight [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] around Paldea. Those who collect the eight necessary [[Badge|Gym Badges]] may take on the Champion Assessment at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} headquarters and obtain the Champion Rank. While the player travels around the region to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish, Nemona frequently shows up to support the player in various ways, most often by battling. The player is also introduced to [[Geeta]], the chairwoman of the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]] and the region's strongest Champion-ranked Trainer, the Top Champion, as well as several members of Paldea's [[Elite Four]].

Once the player has all eight Gym Badges, they make their way to the Pokémon League headquarters. After passing an interview test, the player battles and defeats the Elite Four and Geeta, making them a Champion-ranked Trainer. Excited by the player finally becoming her equal, Nemona challenges them to one more battle, in which she holds nothing back. Defeating her in this battle concludes the Victory Road storyline.

===Path of Legends===
Arven tells the player about the five [[giant Pokémon]] known as [[Titan Pokémon]] he has read about that reside in various places over Paldea, and requests the player's help in defeating them and collecting their [[Herba Mystica]], legendary herbs said to have amazing health benefits. During the quest to defeat the Titans, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} gradually regains its old abilities by eating [[sandwich]]es made with the Herba Mystica. Arven eventually also reveals that he wishes to use the Herba Mystica to help heal his partner, {{p|Mabosstiff}}, who was severely injured a while back.

After all the Herba Mystica have been collected, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} has recovered all of its former powers, excluding its ability to {{pkmn|battle}}, and Arven's Mabosstiff makes a full recovery, much to Arven's immense relief. The {{pkmn|Professor}} then requests the player to come see them at their laboratory at the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], with Arven battling the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
An individual referring to themselves as [[Cassiopeia]] hacks into the player's [[Rotom Phone]] and requests the player's help in taking down Team Star in an operation codenamed "Operation Starfall". Director Clavell, disguised as an academy student and using the pseudonym "Clive", joins the player as they make their way around Paldea to take down the five squads of Team Star at their bases by defeating the boss of each squad. During the player's one-man war against the team, they gradually learn more about the team's history. The team was formed by victims of bullying who, rallied together by their mysterious "big boss", decided to finally confront their bullies. However, when confronted 18 months before the events of the game, the bullies fled without even attempting to fight back and dropped out of the academy. Moreover, the then-deputy director of the academy wiped out all the cases of bullying from the school's records, making Team Star seem like bullies themselves. Blaming themselves for having failed to prevent this from occurring, the entire staff of the academy had resigned as a result, explaining why none of the current staff members know anything about the incident.

Eventually, once all five of Team Star's squads have been taken down, Cassiopeia reveals themselves as the "big boss" of Team Star, having started Operation Starfall because the team cannot continue operating in its current way, and tells the player to confront them in the schoolyard at night. At the academy, Clavell takes off his disguise and claims himself to be Cassiopeia, but after being defeated in a battle, he admits he was simply testing the player to see if they'd be ready to face the real Cassiopeia. The player meets the real Cassiopeia in the schoolyard, who reveals herself to be Penny. After Penny has been defeated, Clavell reveals that the Team Star bosses were watching the battle, and allows the team to continue operating as long as they turn their bases into training facilities for Trainers, which they accept. This concludes ★ Starfall Street ★.

===The Way Home===
After the first three stories have been concluded, the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request. As the group travels to the four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been [[Time travel|brought to the present day from another era]] by a [[time machine]] created by the Professor, including two specimens of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.

Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the Professor is actually a robot, created by the real Professor before they were killed by the second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the Professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original Professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, since the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will. Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot Professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the Professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other member of its kind, ending the Paradise Protection Protocol's hold over the AI. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present. As such, the AI chooses to travel to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine shuts down permanently, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
With the player and their friends returning to normal school life, Nemona suggests hosting a battle tournament at the school to celebrate the player's new Champion status, requesting for Geeta to take part in it as well as she is the chairwoman of the academy's school board. While Geeta says she's busy with her duties as the Pokémon League chairwoman, she agrees to take part if the player takes her place in inspecting all the [[Gym Leader]]s to see if they're still worthy of keeping their positions. As such, the player returns to each Gym and takes on the eight Gym Leaders once more in a series of [[rematch]]es.

After the player has finished the rematches and reported their inspection results to Geeta, the tournament, dubbed the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], is finally conducted. The player defeats Arven in the first round, the biology teacher [[Jacq]] in the second round, the battle studies teacher [[Dendra]] in the third round, and Geeta in the finals, officially making them the strongest Trainer at the academy. Clavell then declares that the tournament will not be a one-time event and will henceforth be held regularly, concluding the post-game story.

===The Teal Mask===
{{main|The Teal Mask}}
The player joins three other students on a school trip to the land of [[Kitakami]] in the east, where they participate in the [[Festival of Masks]] and uncover the tale of {{ga|Ogerpon}} and the [[Loyal Three]] alongside the local siblings [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]].

===The Indigo Disk===
{{main|The Indigo Disk}}
Following their trip to Kitakami, the player is invited to become an exchange student at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region by the academy's director, [[Cyrano]]. At this new, battle-focused education facility, they explore the vast [[Terarium]], re-encounter Carmine and Kieran, and take part in the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}. Eventually, the player's journey leads them back to Paldea and [[Area Zero Underdepths|the depths of Area Zero]].

===Mochi Mayhem===
{{main|Mochi Mayhem}}
The player, Nemona, Arven, and Penny travel to Kitakami together to meet Kieran and Carmine. However, their trip takes a turn for the worse when more and more people start behaving very oddly. The unusual behavior turns out to be the cause of a mysterious [[mochi]] created {{p|Pecharunt|a small purple Pokémon}}, requiring the player and Kieran to team up in order to stop it from escalating the situation any further.

==Features==
The game is set in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and is an open-world game in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order without Pokémon's levels being scaled to the player's achievements. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously, enabling [[trade|trading]] and [[Pokémon battle|battling]] between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas together.

===Terastal phenomenon===
{{main|Terastal phenomenon}}
The Terastal phenomenon is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Paldea region to power up and become bejeweled using the [[Tera Orb]]. After Terastallizing, a Pokémon's natural type attribute is either enhanced or altered according to their innate Tera Type.

===Paradox Pokémon===
{{main|Paradox Pokémon}}
The Paradox Pokémon appear for the first time as "unidentified creatures".<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/</ref> {{p|Great Tusk}} is described in the [[Scarlet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Scarlet, while {{p|Iron Treads}} is described in the [[Violet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Violet. They are a group of unique Pokémon that came from the ancient past in Pokémon Scarlet and the distant future in Pokémon Violet.

===Gyms===
Scarlet and Violet feature [[Gym]]s, just like most of the other core series titles. In Paldea, the Gym Leaders are [[Katy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Brassius]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Iono]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Kofu]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Ryme]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tulip]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Grusha]] ({{t|Ice}}). For the first time in the series, the player is able to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish.

===Elite Four and Champion===
For the first time in a non-remake game since [[Generation IV]], the Elite Four can only be challenged in a fixed order. The members are [[Rika]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Poppy]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Flying}}), and [[Hassel]] ({{t|Dragon}}). After defeating all four Elite Four members, the player faces the Top Champion, [[Geeta]], who uses a team consisting of a variety of types.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]===
Most version-exclusive Pokémon can be encountered and caught by players of the opposite version who join a [[Union Circle]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], except for Koraidon and Miraidon, which require trading. {{p|Armarouge}} and {{p|Ceruledge}} can be obtained through raids, even solo raids in the opposite version that their evolution items can be obtained in, but not a Union Circle, and vice versa for Paradox Pokémon, not counting limited-time event Tera Raids.

==Compatibility==
===Pokémon GO===
The games are compatible with Pokémon GO through Bluetooth LE as of version 1.2.0 (released on February 27, 2023). Players can send postcards as well as [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s from their phone to the games.

Each time a postcard is sent, wild {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern will change depending on the location where the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, after which the pattern of wild Vivillon will be reset, and the player will be able to receive another Postcard.

=== Pokémon HOME===
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]] as of HOME's version 3.0.0 (released on May 30, 2023). This allows them to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were [[transfer]]red into Pokémon HOME. Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Scarlet and Violet save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] and a [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Scarlet and Violet Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Kitakami and Blueberry Academy Pokédex were released with the two iterations of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, but the Pokémon in those Pokédexes became compatible with the base game upon release even if the player has not purchased the DLC. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon that existed at the time of release and their respective regional evolved forms are also compatible.

When a compatible Pokémon from another game first enters these sets of games, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations). Additionally, any compatible Pokémon brought from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} will have their Poké Ball displayed as a [[Strange Ball]] due to their invalid Poké Ball IDs not being otherwise recognised in these games.

====Unusable moves====
{{main|List of moves by availability in Generation IX}}
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, many moves, including {{cat|Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|those that are usable in Sword and Shield}}, are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game. In lieu of their usual descriptions, most of these moves instead have the following generic description: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''"

*In addition, all [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s are also unusable in these games.

In Version 2.0.1, which was released alongside [[The Teal Mask]], several previously unusable moves were made usable again. These were mostly [[signature move]]s of Pokémon that were added in that update. Further moves were made usable in Version 3.0.0, coinciding with [[The Indigo Disk]].

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

;Newly Added Features
*The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-scarlet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016943-switch/ Pokémon Scarlet] game or the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-violet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016942-switch/ Pokémon Violet] game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit [https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ The Pokémon Company].
*Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.
*Players can now [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61360 connect their games to Pokémon GO].

; Feature Adjustments
*Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:
**From a Pokémon's summary, players can now change Pokémon's nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pokémon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.
**Players can also now swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the '''Held Items''' view.
**Players are now able to select '''All Boxes''' while moving Pokémon or items in the '''Party and Boxes''' view and '''Held Items''' view.
**When in the '''Battle Team''' view, Pokémon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pokémon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed.
*The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

;Bug Fixes
;Tera Raid Battles
* A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon's HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon's HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
* A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
*Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
*A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
*A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

;Battles
* Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its {{a|Illusion}} Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the '''Check Target''' option.
*We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type.
*We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
*We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.

;Other
*We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
* Certain actions prevented the main character's expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
* A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season's results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
*We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (“Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands”) if that Pokémon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
*We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pokédex after you received a Shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pokédex.
*Objects such as Poké Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
*Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
*A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

;Support for Trainers Who Caught an Egg Instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in Tera Raid Battles
Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

;Feature Adjustments
A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

*Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
*After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

;Bug Fixes
;Link Battles

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
*Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.
Battles

* Fixed a bug where the {{a|Cud Chew}} Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark's type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark's type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
*Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

;Pokémon GO Connectivity

* Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

;Other

*Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers' Pokédexes.
Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet
*Trainers who have purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will now be able to enjoy adventures in Part 1: The Teal Mask. Please click here for more details on Part 1: The Teal Mask.

Additional Pokémon

Newly Added Features
*You will now be able lock the mini map that appears while you are out in the field so that up is always north. You can do this by pressing the Right Stick twice while you have the map app open to select the App and mini maps locked setting.
*Camera settings have been added to the Options menu. These settings will let you adjust how the camera works while you are out in the field.
*We have added a feature that allows you to signal a Pokémon accompanying you in the field to stop and wait where it is. To give this signal, press the Left Stick.
*You can now take pictures by pressing the A Button in the camera app.
*You can now play music by pressing the ZL Button or ZR Button while the camera app is open. You may find that Pokémon accompanying you in the field and people around you will react to the music.
*While using the Union Circle, Trainers can now share photos they have taken with the camera app during that Union Circle session with the friends they are playing with.
*We have added a feature to TM Machines that allows you to filter for moves your Pokémon can learn. By interacting with a TM Machine and selecting the option to filter for learnable moves, you will be able to display only TMs containing moves that a specific Pokémon can learn.
Bug Fixes and Feature Adjustments
* Incorrect descriptive text for the moves Ceaseless Edge, Dire Claw, and Stone Axe has been corrected. The descriptions for these moves previously included the words “aiming to land a critical hit,” but these moves do not increase the critical-hit ratio in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. This wording has been removed from these descriptions.
*We have fixed a bug where the Itemfinder Mark would not be applied to a Pokémon even if the conditions were met.
*Wild Pokémon that have the Titan Mark will now reappear in the field after a certain amount of time if they have been defeated.
*We have made adjustments to the way Pokémon icons are displayed in the Boxes.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.
|
*Certain Pokémon had their data adjusted.
** {{p|Basculin}}'s catch rate was increased from 25 to 190
**Many Pokémon's [[TM]] compatibility was increased, often involving moves the evolutionary relatives could learn but that stage could not.
**Certain Pokémon acquired new [[Move Reminder]] and [[Egg Moves]]; most notably [[Lake guardians]] and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}}, respectively, who did not have any at all.

Bug Fixes

*Under certain conditions, victories against the NPC Trainers scattered across the game world may not have been recorded. As a result, the rewards players could earn by winning a certain number of battles — such as from Pokémon League representatives in the Paldea region or Ogre Clan members in the land of Kitakami — were not obtainable. This bug has been fixed, so players who experienced this issue can now challenge affected NPC Trainers again to record their victories and subsequently receive any eligible rewards.
*It was not previously possible to transfer certain special Pokémon to Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet via Pokémon HOME if those Pokémon were brought into Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, even if a Pokémon of the same species had already been obtained in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet prior to version 1.3.2. This bug has been fixed, and the issue has been resolved.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

* Fixed a bug in Version 2.0.1 in which the game would crash when fighting the Paradise Protection Protocol's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} while having Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} registered in the [[Pokédex]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1712285713738142195</ref>

Bug Fixes

*If the player used items to level up an Inkay to Lv. 29 or lower, the game would stop responding to button input. This bug has been fixed.
*Some materials needed to craft TM223 (Metal Sound) were previously dropped by a Pokémon that appears in only one version of the game. This issue has been resolved. Shieldon Claws are no longer required to craft TM223 (Metal Sound).
*After players installed the Item Printer in the League Club Room, under certain circumstances players could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This bug has been fixed. Affected players can now get unstuck by speaking to the character next to the Item Printer and selecting “I want to print something!”
* When a Pokémon under the effect of Dragon Cheer was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This bug has been fixed.
*Certain moves that Calyrex could learn via TM only while united with Glastrier or Spectrier would remain in Calyrex's move set even after Calyrex separated from Glastrier or Spectrier. Furthermore, even if those moves were forgotten, Calyrex could then remember those moves without being united with Glastrier or Spectrier. This bug has been fixed.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Notes:
*v1.0.0 is present on the physical game cards, and is playable on a Switch whose internet connection remains off.
*On June 19, 2023, it was announced that a future update would fix the move descriptions of {{m|Dire Claw}}, {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, and {{m|Stone Axe}}, which incorrectly state that they have a high critical-hit ratio (as they did in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}).<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/115.html</ref> However, the June 28, 2023 update did not include this change.

'''Harrington''' (Japanese: '''イヌガヤ''' ''Inugaya'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He is the former director of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, now currently serving as [[Ortega]]'s piano instructor.

==In the core series games==
Harrington is first encountered outside the entrance of [[Ruchbah Squad's Base]] who attempts to stop the {{player}} from infiltrating the base.
{{spoilers}}
After the player defeats [[Ortega]], Harrington returns and reveals that he previously served as the director of the academy. Having recognized the bullying problem as a failure of his administration, Director Harrington had given the big boss of [[Team Star]] a lenient punishment and then resigned along with all other teaching staff at the time.

*Outside, before battle
:''"I will return later when it is time for the young master's piano lesson. Until then, please give him my regards."''
:''"Hm? And who might you be, young man/lady? A friend of the young master, perhaps?"''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Ah. I see... Since you seem unaware, I must inform you that this is the base of [[Team Star]]'s {{t|Fairy}} crew—the Ruchbah Squad led by young Master [[Ortega]]."''
:''"No? Then please accept my apologies. Do you have any idea as to who this young man/lady might be?"''
:''"Understood. In that case...I take it you're an adversary of the young master?"''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Is that so. Well then, that leaves me with one last thing to ask you..."''
:''"Would you be so kind as to indulge me in a quick battle?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Splendid. Then let us begin."''
::'''No''': ''""''

*Upon being defeated
:''"Well, well."''

*After being defeated
:''"An outstanding performance. However. Be aware that young Master Ortega's battle prowess far surpasses my paltry skills. You would do well to take care. Now, if you'll excuse me."''

*Inside, after Ortega is defeated
:''"Young Master Ortega..."''
:''"Ah, actually, a different matter brought me. There's somebody I would like you to meet. He's a...distant acquaintance of mine."''
:''"As the former director of the academy, I believe I am best positioned to answer that question."''
:''"About 18 months ago, the members of Team Star confronted the students who used to bully them, and an altercation broke out between the groups. Though it did not escalate into a major incident, the altercation nonetheless caused a scandal of hitherto unknown proportions. As a result of what occurred that day, the students who had perpetrated the bullying dropped out of the academy, one after another."''
:''"No, I should imagine not. My former deputy deleted all records of the incident, you see."''
:''"Just as I was puzzling over how best to deal with Team Star in the aftermath of the incident, a certain student came to see me. This student declared that they would take all responsibility for the team's actions. In exchange, they requested that I exonerate the other students of Team Star from any blame."''
:''"I accepted the request and agreed not to take disciplinary action against Team Star. Then, I assigned 18 months of overseas study to the student who took responsibility for the team."''
:''"This was not intended as a punishment, you understand. Team Star were the victims, after all. I wanted this student to take some time to rest, so I had them return home to the [[Galar]] [[region]] under the pretext of "overseas study." Around that time, however, the former deputy director took it upon himself to erase all traces of the incident from the academy's servers. It appears his intent was to shield himself from any blame."''
:''"After we discovered what he had done, I dealt with him appropriately, of course. But the inability of myself and the rest of the teaching staff to prevent this terrible act also represented a grave blunder on our part. I accepted the blame that lay at my feet and resigned from my position as director. The rest of the teaching staff then joined me in handing in their notices."''
:''"I understand my actions have caused you a great deal of trouble. You have my sincerest apologies."''
:''"Young Master Ortega... Team Star cannot carry on in its current fashion. I merely wish to give you a chance to chart a better course."''

'''Drayton''' (Japanese: '''カキツバタ''' ''Kakitsubata'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is a second-year student<ref>[[Blueberry Academy]] {{tc|student}}, [[Polar Biome]]: ''"Drayton's in his second year, right? But I could've sworn he was a second-year last year too. And I think even the year before that..."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. He uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==

=== Character Profile ===
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result.<ref>Drayton: ''"I'm really not made for learning in classrooms. I've gotten held back...three times I think? [...]"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref> Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of [[Drayden]], the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Opelucid Gym]].<ref name="grandfather">[[Hassel]]: ''"Your grandfather Drayden informed me that you were forced to repeat a year of school... Several years, in fact!"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with [[Hassel]] of [[Paldea]]'s Elite Four. He used to be the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} {{pkmn|Champion}}, though he never formally referred to himself as one due to wanting to avoid the responsibilities of being the [[League Club Room|League Club]] president, which come with the title. He was eventually dethroned by [[Kieran]], lowering him to instead being the leading member of the BB League Elite Four, situated at [[Polar Plaza]].

Drayton first meets the player at [[Central Plaza]] after they've defeated [[Carmine]] and takes them to the [[League Club Room]], where he introduces them to the BB League. Later at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], he suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated other then himself, Drayton comes by to congratulate the player. Drayton is also the only Elite Four member who does not require the player to pay [[Blueberry Point]]s to register for his Elite Trial, as he asks his receptionist to charge it to his account instead.

Drayton's Elite Trial forces the player to battle three {{tc|League Club}} members using only Pokémon that were caught in the [[Terarium]], which excludes any Pokémon caught in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. The player does not need to use these Terarium Pokémon during their battle with Drayton. He rewards the player with {{TM|226|Dragon Cheer}} upon being beaten.

After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton gives them a [[Master Ball]], following which he, along with the player, Kieran, and Carmine, are invited to [[Briar]]'s classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to [[Area Zero]]. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, claiming he needs to guide the League Club through the aftermath of Kieran's dethroning, but in reality is just feeling too lazy to travel all the way to Paldea.

After the player has caught {{p|Terapagos}}, Drayton can be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

=== Appearance ===
Drayton has white hair with a purple streak, peach skin, and yellow eyes. He wears a black jacket with a yellow accent and Maschiff logo on the sleeve, baggy League Club Uniform shirt, a purple dragon trainer's cloak as a skirt with golden dragon designs on the edges, and either the BB Autumn or Winter Uniform, or the BB Track Suit.

===Pokémon===
Drayton's {{p|Archaludon}} knows {{m|Dragon Pulse}} in the first battle and {{m|Draco Meteor}} when challenged at the [[League Club Room]]. Drayton will always send out Archaludon last and [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] it at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DraytonSurgingSparks232.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Drayton]]
{{main|Drayton (Surging Sparks 174)}}
'''Drayton''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Paradise Dragona}} subset and the English {{TCG|Surging Sparks}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It lets the player look at the top 7 cards of their deck, and add 1 {{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}} and 1 {{TCG|Trainer card}} found within those 7 cards into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a waistcloth, resembles the symbol icon that represents the {{t|Dragon}} type in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME]], and [[Pokémon GO]].
* While Drayton's {{p|Sceptile}} is not a Dragon-type Pokémon, it could [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Dragon type in previous generations. Additionally, all of his Pokémon are in the {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]].
* Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with [[Raihan]]'s Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
** For the respective challenges prior to the {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|boss}} fights, the player faces three Trainers in [[Double Battle]]s who do not use Dragon types exclusively.
** Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the {{p|Duraludon}} evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
** Both of their teams have multiple users of the move {{m|Breaking Swipe}}.
* Drayton is the only BB League Elite Four member that is always present in the [[League Club Room]] in the post-game. This may allude to him never attending class.
* Drayton refers to meeting the player at the cafeteria as a "date", regardless of the player's gender.<ref>Drayton: ''"If you wanna officially join us, maybe we can have a cafeteria date to talk details!"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref>

'''Drayton''' (Japanese: '''カキツバタ''' ''Kakitsubata'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is a second-year student<ref>[[Blueberry Academy]] {{tc|student}}, [[Polar Biome]]: ''"Drayton's in his second year, right? But I could've sworn he was a second-year last year too. And I think even the year before that..."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. He uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==

=== Character Profile ===
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result.<ref>Drayton: ''"I'm really not made for learning in classrooms. I've gotten held back...three times I think? [...]"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref> Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of [[Drayden]], the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Opelucid Gym]].<ref name="grandfather">[[Hassel]]: ''"Your grandfather Drayden informed me that you were forced to repeat a year of school... Several years, in fact!"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with [[Hassel]] of [[Paldea]]'s Elite Four. He used to be the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} {{pkmn|Champion}}, though he never formally referred to himself as one due to wanting to avoid the responsibilities of being the [[League Club Room|League Club]] president, which come with the title. He was eventually dethroned by [[Kieran]], lowering him to instead being the leading member of the BB League Elite Four, situated at [[Polar Plaza]].

Drayton first meets the player at [[Central Plaza]] after they've defeated [[Carmine]] and takes them to the [[League Club Room]], where he introduces them to the BB League. Later at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], he suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated other then himself, Drayton comes by to congratulate the player. Drayton is also the only Elite Four member who does not require the player to pay [[Blueberry Point]]s to register for his Elite Trial, as he asks his receptionist to charge it to his account instead.

Drayton's Elite Trial forces the player to battle three {{tc|League Club}} members using only Pokémon that were caught in the [[Terarium]], which excludes any Pokémon caught in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. The player does not need to use these Terarium Pokémon during their battle with Drayton. He rewards the player with {{TM|226|Dragon Cheer}} upon being beaten.

After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton gives them a [[Master Ball]], following which he, along with the player, Kieran, and Carmine, are invited to [[Briar]]'s classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to [[Area Zero]]. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, claiming he needs to guide the League Club through the aftermath of Kieran's dethroning, but in reality is just feeling too lazy to travel all the way to Paldea.

After the player has caught {{p|Terapagos}}, Drayton can be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

=== Appearance ===
Drayton has white hair with a purple streak, peach skin, and yellow eyes. He wears a black jacket with a yellow accent and Maschiff logo on the sleeve, baggy white and blue shirt with a Poké Ball-like logo in them middle, a purple dragon trainer's cloak as a skirt with golden dragon designs on the edges, and either the BB Autumn or Winter Uniform, or the BB Track Suit.

===Pokémon===
Drayton's {{p|Archaludon}} knows {{m|Dragon Pulse}} in the first battle and {{m|Draco Meteor}} when challenged at the [[League Club Room]]. Drayton will always send out Archaludon last and [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] it at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DraytonSurgingSparks232.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Drayton]]
{{main|Drayton (Surging Sparks 174)}}
'''Drayton''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Paradise Dragona}} subset and the English {{TCG|Surging Sparks}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It lets the player look at the top 7 cards of their deck, and add 1 {{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}} and 1 {{TCG|Trainer card}} found within those 7 cards into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a waistcloth, resembles the symbol icon that represents the {{t|Dragon}} type in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME]], and [[Pokémon GO]].
* While Drayton's {{p|Sceptile}} is not a Dragon-type Pokémon, it could [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Dragon type in previous generations. Additionally, all of his Pokémon are in the {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]].
* Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with [[Raihan]]'s Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
** For the respective challenges prior to the {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|boss}} fights, the player faces three Trainers in [[Double Battle]]s who do not use Dragon types exclusively.
** Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the {{p|Duraludon}} evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
** Both of their teams have multiple users of the move {{m|Breaking Swipe}}.
* Drayton is the only BB League Elite Four member that is always present in the [[League Club Room]] in the post-game. This may allude to him never attending class.

'''Lacey''' (Japanese: '''タロ''' ''Taro'') is a character introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. She is a second-year student attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. She uses {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==

=== Character Profile ===
Lacey is a girl who likes cute Pokémon, which led to her becoming a Trainer of {{t|Fairy}} types. Her father is [[Driftveil City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Clay]],<ref name="father">Lacey: ''"You created such a stir, challenging my daddy to a battle right there in your fancy party dress!"'' [[Nemona]]: ''"[...] I’m glad! [[Clay]]’s very kind!"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> with whom she shares the same {{p|Excadrill|ace Pokémon}}. When interacting with [[Nemona]] in the [[League Club Room]], she and Lacey are revealed to know each other, with Nemona having battled her father in the middle of a fancy party.<ref name="father"/> She has a habit of crossing her arms in an X-formation to show her disapproval whenever she disagrees with something. She is ranked as the second-strongest member of the Elite Four at Blueberry Academy, situated at [[Coastal Plaza]].

Lacey is the first person the player meets upon their arrival at Blueberry Academy, giving the player their first battle there and introducing them to the [[Terarium]] and [[Blueberry Quest]]s. Later, she is met at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], where she votes against [[Drayton]]'s proposition of letting the player participate in the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is a Pokémon quiz consisting of five questions that the player must answer correctly. After the trial has been cleared, Lacey can be battled. She rewards the player with {{TM|227|Alluring Voice}} upon being beaten.

After the player has caught {{p|Terapagos}}, Lacey can occasionally be found in the League Club Room, where she offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

=== Appearance ===
Lacey is a young woman with pale skin, pink hair, and hazel eyes. She has pink and green pins in her hair, near her ears. She wears a long lavender coat with sashes around the arms with decoration resembling fairy wings over the BB Autumn Uniform. She wears white sneakers.

===Pokémon===
Lacey keeps her Pokémon in [[Nest Ball]]s.

====First battle====
Winning this fight is not mandatory. The player will not [[black out]] and the story will progress either way.

==In the TCG==
[[File:LaceyStellarCrown166.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Lacey]]
{{main|Lacey (Stellar Crown 139)}}
'''Lacey''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Stellar Miracle}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Stellar Crown}} expansion, with artwork by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card illustrated by [[Souichirou Gunjima]] were released in the same sets. It allows the player to shuffle their hand into their deck and draw 4 cards, or 8 cards if their opponent has 3 or fewer Prize cards remaining.

==Trivia==
* The French official website for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} misspelled Lacey's French name (Taro) as "Tara" in the subheading for her.<ref>(June 21, 2023). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20230622015245/https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/fr-fr/news/dlc_characters/ Des personnages que vous rencontrerez à l’Institut Myrtille]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website (French) (Archive as of June 22, 2023)</ref><ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZh1GZcHQBg Le trésor enfoui de la Zone Zéro : nouvelle bande-annonce]." [https://www.youtube.com/@PokemonOfficielFR La chaîne officielle Pokémon en français]. ''YouTube''.</ref> This error was fixed as of September 11, 2023.<ref name=SVsiteFR>(June 21, 2023).

* Lacey is the first [[Elite Four]] member to specialize in {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Lacey is the only member of the BB Elite Four whose designated Terastallized Pokémon is not of her specialty type prior to being Terastallized. It is also the only such Pokémon to be [[Pokémon discovery|first discovered]] in [[Unova]].
** Lacey is also the only member of the BB Elite Four to use more than one Pokémon not of her specialty type.
* While Lacey refers to her usage of {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in her first battle as her "Plus-Minus strategy", they each have their {{Hidden Ability|Abilities}} {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Volt Absorb}} rather than {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, respectively, and her strategy relies on using {{m|Discharge}} to trigger them.
* Lacey's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Rotom Phone|Fairy Case]].
* Lacey's trial, a Pokémon quiz, is the same as that employed by [[Opal]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea]] in the Galar region.

'''Crispin''' (Japanese: '''アカマツ''' ''Akamatsu'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is a first-year student attending [[Blueberry Academy]] and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. He uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==

=== Character Profile ===
Crispin enjoys cooking as well as battling and often cooks for the other members of the Elite Four after they finish their club activities. His parents run a restaurant that he plans to take over once he finishes school.<ref name="parents">Crispin: ''"My parents run a little restaurant, y’see. Once I finish school, I wanna take over the business!"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref> He appears to have a crush on [[Lacey]]<ref>Crispin: ''"I wonder if Lacey has someone she likes? She...she hasn't mentioned anything about that kinda thing to you, has she?"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref><ref>Lacey: ''"Oh, but what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"'' Crispin: ''"Oh, uh, right! Right, yeah, well... I wanted to tell you, uh... See...maybe you and I could, y’know..."'' Crispin: ''"Uhhh, never mind! Not today! I’ll tell you another time! Heh heh... Heh..."'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk)</ref> and is ranked as the lowest Elite Four member in Blueberry Academy, situated at the [[Savanna Plaza]].

Crispin is first met at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], where he votes in favor of the player getting to enter the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}. His Elite Trial consists of the player having to create a super spicy [[sandwich]] from ingredients gathered from {{tc|League Club}} members. After the trial has been cleared, Crispin can be battled. He rewards the player with {{TM|207|Temper Flare}} upon being beaten.

When [[Kieran]] is dethroned by the player as the BB League {{pkmn|Champion}} and seemingly demoted to being the highest-ranked Elite Four member, Crispin is alarmed when told that he could lose his own Elite Four position as a result of that shift, being its lowest-ranked member, though Kieran later withdrawing from the League altogether and Lacey temporarily freezing the current BB League ranks saves him from this fate.

After the player has {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Terapagos}}, Crispin can occasionally be found in the [[League Club Room]], where he offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

=== Appearance ===
Crispin is a young man with red and orange spiky short hair. He wears the BB Summer Uniform with an apron and yellow sash over it, as well as red and orange sneakers.

===Pokémon===
Crispin keeps his Pokémon in [[Quick Ball]]s. He will always send out {{p|Blaziken}} last and {{Tera}}stallize it at the first opportunity.

{{main|Crispin (Stellar Crown 133)}}
'''Crispin''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Stellar Miracle}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Stellar Crown}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows the player to search their deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards of different types, put 1 of the cards into their hand, and attach the other card to their Pokémon in any way they like.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Crispin notices if the {{player}} does not put bread on top of their [[sandwich]] during his Elite Four trial and says, ''"I'm a bit surprised you didn't put bread on top, though. Is that a Paldean thing...?"''
** This may be a reference to the fact that players commonly move the top bread out of the way to intentionally miss the sandwich, because placing it in the center adds no value to Meal Powers, but carries the risk of knocking other ingredients off.
* As the lowest ranking member, all of Crispin's Pokémon are one [[level]] lower than the rest of the {{tc|BB League Elite Four}}'s.
* If the player chooses {{p|Fuecoco}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]], Crispin is the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} who {{Tera}}stallizes their Pokémon into the {{t|Fire}} type.
* Crispin is the only BB League Elite Four member whose strongest Pokémon is not a {{t|Steel}} type.
* Crispin is in the same class as [[Kieran]], as mentioned by [[Carmine]] in their League Club conversation.<ref>[[Carmine]]: ''"Hey, Crispin... You’re in the same class as Kiki, right?"'' Crispin: ''"Yep! Same class!"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>

'''Amarys''' (Japanese: '''ネリネ''' ''Nerine'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. She is a student attending [[Blueberry Academy]], where she serves as president of the student council,<ref>'''[[Blueberry Academy]] {{tc|student}}''', Classroom 3-2: ''"Our class has Amarys, the student council prez... [...]"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. She uses {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==

=== Character Profile ===
Amarys has a formal way of speaking and uses robotic movements. She maintains a reserved, cool exterior, but deep down, she also really cares about her friends. She is good friends with [[Carmine]], and shows a great deal of concern for [[Kieran]].<ref>'''Amarys''': ''"Lately, I feel that...something is the matter with me. I sometimes feel an ache within my chest, and my appetite is dampened. But when I go to the nurse's office, I am told that nothing is amiss. [...] I suppose the sole common factor is that...these symptoms arise when I think of Kieran. I note that my symptoms have abated during our conversation, <player>. It may be that speaking with you has a therapeutic effect."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref><ref>'''Amarys''': ''"I have a question, <player>. How was it that you and Kieran first met? [...] P-paired?! ...Ahem. Pardon me. I understand now that you mean you undertook your school trip activities as a pair." ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> She is ranked as the second-lowest Elite Four member in Blueberry Academy, situated at [[Canyon Plaza]].

The player first encounters Amarys at [[Central Plaza]], having a talk with Carmine before leaving. When she's later met again in the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], she objects to letting the player enter the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is called the [[Flying Time Trial]], in which the player must clear a flying trial within a certain amount of time. In order to complete this trial, she feeds {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} with a supplement that allows it to fly for the duration of the trial. After the trial has been cleared, Amarys can be battled. She rewards the player with {{TM|225|Hard Press}} upon being beaten. The player can retake her Flying Time Trial at any time by talking to the Canyon Plaza receptionist.

After the player has completed the main story of [[The Indigo Disk]], Amarys is found in Classroom 3-2. When the player speaks to her, she gives them more supplements to feed to Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} whenever they want to fly with it, only for it to gobble up all the supplements in one go, gaining the permanent ability to fly. Amarys also informs the player that the hardest difficulty version of the Flying Time Trial is now available for them to try, should they so choose. She can also occasionally be found in the [[League Club Room]], where she offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

=== Appearance ===
Amarys is a young woman with curly black and silver hair styled in a way to resemble screws poking out of her head. She's black with turquoise eyes, and wears glasses as well as the BB Winter Uniform.

=== Pokémon ===
Amarys keeps her Pokémon in [[Heavy Ball]]s. She sends out her {{p|Metagross}} last and will {{Tera}}stallize it at the first opportunity.

'''Giacomo''' (Japanese: '''ピーニャ''' ''Piña'') is the boss of [[Team Star]]'s Dark crew, the Segin Squad, and serves as the overall leader of the team due to the absence of the founder of the team. He specializes in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Giacomo is a wannabe DJ and the creator of Team Star's theme songs, also going by the name "'''DJ Vice'''" (Japanese: '''ＤＪ{{tt|悪事|あくじ}}''' ''DJ Bad Deeds'') when on stage.

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===
Giacomo is a young man with neck length black hair that spikes out at the sides, black eyes, and olive skin. He is much taller than Ortega, but noticeably shorter than Eri.

As as Team Star boss he wears a black with white accents jacket over a yellow or blue vest with the Team Star logo, and a white button down, along with black leggings and white high top sneakers with pink and green accents. He wears a white cap some pink and green accents similar to his shoes, and black headphones with a Poké Ball design on them. He has a black backpack with orange and green straps.

As a student he wears the New Spring Uniform with no cap, dull orange socks the same as the jumper, and brown shoes.

=== Character Profile ===
Giacomo is relied on by the rest of Team Star for bringing the team together and enacting plans with care. He is reportedly known to hold one-man surprise DJ concerts.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/giacomo/ Giacomo — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

{{Spoilers}}
Before the formation of [[Team Star]], Giacomo was elected the president of the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} student council, but the student conduct policies he proposed were so unintuitive and strict that he lost all support. After only a short time in office, he was forced out by the students, who elected [[Nemona]] as his replacement. Humiliated and alone, Giacomo found solace and companionship among a group of students who were similarly victims of bullying and ostracism at the school, and they went on to create Team Star. Despite his doubts, the other bosses of Team Star encouraged him to codify Team Star's current code of conduct, which the group follows to this day. He is described by [[Cassiopeia]] as a sharp and strategic guy.

Giacomo's age is unknown, barring that he is not in the same grade as the player.

=== ★ Starfall Street ★ ===
Giacomo is first encountered inside the [[Segin Squad's Base]]. Once the player defeats the grunts, he battles them. Upon his defeat he awards the player Team Star's Dark Badge and {{TM|062|Foul Play}}. Additionally, his defeat allows the player to craft the following [[TM]]s using the [[TM Machine]]:

He appears along with the rest of the Team Star bosses when Penny is defeated, after which he can be rematched daily at the Segin Squad's Base.

=== Post-game ===
Additionally, Penny and the player can eavesdrop on several conversations between Team Star bosses, including one with Ortega and Giacomo. In this conversation they reveal that while the teachers were welcoming after the truth about Team Star's intentions was revealed, the students weren't. Giacomo yelling a greeting at everyone in the academy, like Ryme does at her shows. While Penny and Ortega don't have much faith in this plan, a few students see this and begin to think Team Star isn't as scary as they previously thought.

Once a close bond is formed with Penny, completing one full academy class, and finishing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, Giacomo and Eri can be found in the entrance hall dressed in the regular school uniform. The player doesn't recognize them at first, but he quickly introduces himself. He explains that while he and Eri are managing to catch up, the other bosses are falling behind and need a tutor, which he asks the player to be. After the player tutors Team Star, Penny discovers them and Giacomo explains the situation.

===Pokémon===
Giacomo keeps his Pokémon in [[Timer Ball]]s.

==In the manga==
[[File:Giacomo Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Giacomo in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Giacomo debuted in [[PASV04]]. He was first seen in [[Segin Squad's Base]], where he and his subordinate {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s accepted a declaration of war issued by [[Cassiopeia]] in {{adv|Violet}}'s name. After the Grunts were defeated, Giacomo stepped out to face Violet. Using his DJ skills, Giacomo tricked Violet and his Pokémon into unconsciously following the beat of his BGM, throwing off their movements. Once Violet saw through Giacomo's strategy, he immediately launched a counterattack and emerged victorious. Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

In [[PASV10]], Giacomo provided Arven with information on the location of the Open Sky {{pkmn2|Titan}}. Despite his loss, Giacomo admitted that Team Star was only waiting for their leader to return out of stubborness and thanked Violet and Arven for helping him realize that.
