===New Activities===
====BB League====
The Blueberry League, BB League for short, is a unique [[Pokémon League|Pokémon battle league]] where students rise in ranks from the various Pokémon battles against each other. To face the BB League Elite Four, the player must pass four unique Elite Tests. Each member of BB League Elite Four occupies a biome in the [[Terarium]]. One Elite Trial by [[Amarys]] has {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} gain the ability to fly temporarily to pass through floating rings in the air.<ref name="bbl" />

====League Club====
Blueberry Academy has a League Club where participating players in the BB League can join to train through Pokémon battles. The player can also use the clubroom's computer to fund other clubs in the Academy using BP (Blueberry Points). Depending on the club they're helping, the player can receive thank-you gifts. One example is being able to redecorate the League Club room after sending funds to the Art Club.<ref name="lclub">https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/league_club/</ref> The player can spend 3,000 BP to increase the amount of Pokémon that will appear in certain areas within the Terarium biome.

====Special Guests====
While at Blueberry Academy, the player can invite familiar characters from [[Paldea]] for a visit, such as the [[Gym Leader]]s. Players will be able to do a variety of activities, such as taking photos, learning more about them, battling and trading Pokémon after interacting with the guest a few times.<ref name="lclub" /> The traded Pokémon comes with a new [[Ribbon]] -the Partner Ribbon, which shows the original owner's name when the Pokémon is sent into battle, such as "''Go! [[Iono]]'s Magnemite!''".<ref name="acaclub">https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/blueberry_academy_club/</ref>The player can invite up to 23 different characters to the League Club by using BP.

====Blueberry Quests====
Blueberry Quests, BBQs for short, are side quests assigned by the Academy. Completing these side quests earns the player BP. BBQs can be tracked in the notices menu, and players will also be able to take on group quests with friends through the Union Circle. One group quest will involve searching for {{p|Ditto}} that have transformed into blocks hidden around the Terarium.<ref name="acaclub" />

====Throwing Styles====
By donating funds to the Academy's Baseball Club, players will have the ability to change the throwing style of their [[Poké Ball]] during a battle. There are plenty of animations to choose from and can be changed whenever needed.<ref name="acaclub" />

====Synchro Machine====
A new feature in the Terarium, the player can unlock the Synchro Machine after helping a Scientist named [[Synclaire]] with her research. The machine allows the player to synchronize with their Pokémon, allowing them to move around and battle other Pokémon. The Synchro Machine can also be used in the [[Union Circle]] as well, with the entire group synchronizing with their respective Pokémon.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/synchronize/</ref> Every Pokémon included in Scarlet and Violet along with expansions can be with the Synchro Machine. Also, flying Pokémon used during Synchro Machine will stay in flight, even when walking off a ledge.

===Moves===
{{m|Upper Hand}} and {{m|Psychic Noise}} are two new moves introduced that will be available starting with the release of The Indigo Disk.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_moves/</ref> The [[Signature move|signature moves]] for Raging Bolt and Iron Crown, {{m|Thunderclap}} and {{m|Tachyon Cutter}}, respectively, are introduced.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/raging_bolt/</ref><ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/iron_crown/</ref> Archaludon will also debut its signature move {{m|Electro Shot}}.<ref name="arch" />
