Here are the top 10 tips and tricks for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet to enhance your journey through the Paldea region:
1. Explore Before Committing
The game's open world allows you to explore freely. Before diving into any story path (Victory Road, Path of Legends, Starfall Street), take some time to roam around. You might find rare Pokémon, items, and even shortcuts.
2. Use Let's Go! Feature
Utilize the Let's Go! feature to send out your lead Pokémon to auto-battle nearby wild Pokémon for quick XP and to collect items. This is especially useful for leveling up Pokémon without constant player input.
3. Terastallize Strategically
Terastallizing changes your Pokémon's type in battle. Use this mechanic wisely, especially in tough fights or against type-disadvantaged opponents. Remember, it can only be used once per battle unless in certain situations like Tera Raids.
4. Attend Classes at the Academy
Visiting Uva/Naranja Academy and attending classes can provide helpful tips, lore, and rewards like EXP Candy. Classes also give you objectives which can guide your exploration.
5. Path of Legends First
Starting with the Path of Legends to defeat the Titan Pokémon is beneficial. Each Titan defeated unlocks new abilities for Koraidon or Miraidon, making exploration much easier.
6. Sandwich Making
Learn to make sandwiches at picnics. They provide various boosts like Sparkling Power for Shiny hunting, Egg Power for breeding, or Encounter Power for specific Pokémon types.
7. Tera Raids for Farming
Participate in Tera Raids for high XP, rare items, and the chance to catch special Tera Pokémon. These raids can be done solo or with friends, and they're a great way to farm materials.
8. Check Your Pokédex Regularly
Your Pokédex not only tracks your Pokémon but also tells you where to find Pokémon you haven't encountered yet. This is incredibly useful for filling out your Pokédex or finding specific Pokémon.
9. Use Fast Travel
After visiting landmarks like Pokémon Centers or towers, you can fast travel back to these locations. This saves a lot of time when navigating the large map of Paldea.
10. Understand Level Distribution
Pokémon and trainers are leveled based on the area you're in. Higher levels are generally found further north or in more challenging areas. This helps in planning your route and avoiding being overmatched.
Bonus Tip: Shiny Hunting
For those interested in Shiny hunting, use the Masuda Method for breeding or look for Mass Outbreaks. Eating sandwiches with boosts like Sparkling Power can increase your chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon.
By following these tips, you'll navigate the expansive world of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet with greater ease and efficiency, making the most out of both the exploration and the battles you encounter. Remember, while these strategies can guide you, part of the fun is discovering the game's secrets on your own.
