10 Tips Pokemon Didn't Tell You in Scarlet/Violet

[@PKMNcast]

It’s actually the History class, not the Language class for the Shrines. I wasn’t paying attention once I walked into the school. 😅

[@AdeptCharon]

I was wondering about why it would be the language class instead of Miss Raifort that's obsessed with the legends... ...but I don't even remember a time when I didn't have those fast travel points unlocked so I never knew it was something you have to obtain LOL

[@dancordeirobr]

Languages class actually gives you a Galarian (steel) Meowth

[@spinthejames]

Didn't we all. 😂 Haha

[@sergcm10]

Nice tips, I really didn't know about the TM tracking, now I can forget about counting the drops from the wild pokemon. Also I think that the extra flying points are unlocked with History Class with Ms. Raifort and not Language, I think Language class gives you the Galarian Meowth.

[@PKMNcast]

Oh I might have mixed those up 🥲

[@unfoldingspace8]

I’m pretty sure it’s the History Classes you unlock the shrine fly points, not Language, as History Class Teacher thing is the one where you HAVE to find and catch those 4 mons

[@ryanbdesch]

The TM Watch is mind-blowing 🤯

[@crustybit09]

Hi Steve, there are a few areas that do have berries that reduce EV on the ground, on the side cliffs of Alfornada, around the South Province area 4, and some other spots around the map.

[@PKMNcast]

There are, but watching auction and the mini game isn’t as random

[@ReallyIC]

I honestly knew all these tips. You know why? Cause I watch your stream lol These are super helpful tips any player can use on a regular basis. Thanks for making this so I can share to my friends!

acid spray merch soon xD

[@SpookyHolden]

The EV berry tip is so useful! I had no idea, thank you!

[@maxrbmc]

I got a shiny Klefki with the Destiny Mark and I love her so much! 😍

[@cicabeot1]

My birthday has not happened since ScarVi came out, so I’ll definitely try to get a cool Pokémon with a mark when it does! Thanks! I also appreciate the TM tip cause trying to remember what I need to farm has been a hassle for me when prepping for raids.

[@PokeHypeYT]

I think you can set the time to your birthday and do it that way, I know many people with birthday shinies

[@cicabeot1]

@@PokeHypeYT yeah I know that’s an option. I’m still fine with just waiting.

[@mprice2009]

Great video! I do believe they tell you about terastalizing during a raid and doing more damage, even if the move isn’t your tera type. I think it’s during the Battle Studies class with Dendra, when you’re outside? If I remember right.

[@PKMNcast]

They do tell you that, but they don't explain actual damage, which I think is very helpful for anyone to know!

[@Percy0412]

To add on to the raid shield mechanic tip, not only are you doing 75% total damage if your Tera Type matches the type of the move you’re using, but the base damage of that attack will also increase because of the Tera STAB bonus. To continue using Steve’s Earthquake example, the base power of Earthquake is 100 and Terastalising into a Ground type increases that to 150, then you’re doing 75% of that to the shield so it effectively has 112.5 power. Even better, if your Pokémon was originally Ground type as well you get both STAB bonuses, so Earthquake would actually have 200 power at base if you become Tera Ground.

[@AdeptCharon]

Seeing the 5/6-star HM infographic again, I just realized that it's technically incorrect, with the use of the term "roll". It's not that raids of these species have more rolls for Herbs in general, rather their drop-tables have all 5 varieties of Herbs as separate possible drops, with each of them still having the same rolls as in other raids. An example on how this phrasing can seem off, is that seeing "10.87% x5 rolls" makes it sound like you can get a maximum of 5 Herbs if lucky... but you can theoretically get way more than 5 Herbs in a single raid, to the point where every non-guaranteed reward on the list is a Herb. It doesn't change that doing these raids is way more effective for Herb farming of course, but just thought I'd point it out... and I'm not even sure myself what a more correct phrasing would be xD

[@EndoPlasmite]

I honestly wish the random people online I match with for 6-star raids knew about the Raid Shield Mechanics. Seems like most of the time, I end up being the only one Terastallizing my Pokemon, and we end up losing the raids 1/2 the time.

[@PKMNcast]

Yeah, if they just would Tera 😭

[@taylorjones306]

Steve's the bomb. He really makes the best Pokemon content out there.

Spidops, you'll be missed! o7

I felt pain when he released it

[@RobertAngel885]

Something else I found that a lot of people don’t know is that the ability patch now removes hidden abilities. It didn’t do this in SwSh.

[@PKMNcast]

That’s true! That’s a good tip!!

[@TheWoaf]

I'm watching this on my birthday. I'll be shiny hunting gibles later now. Thanks for the brilliant present Steve!

[@PKMNcast]

Happy birthday

[@anthonyd1567]

The TM tracking is super helpful, why haven't the game told you this!!! So many times I have gone back and forth to that damn tm machine.

[@PKMNcast]

I know! I couldn't find a single NPC that talked about this feature!

[@marianakarnesky887]

Thanks for the tips Steve! This video was perfect timing for me.

[@PKMNcast]

Happy to help! :D

[@colbert6122]

I wish there was a way to see which raid boss it was (not just the tera-type), because it would help with grinding herbas/specific drops And they need to bring back Rusted Bottle Cap

[@BlaqueT]

Omg I did not know that Gimmighoul fact. Thanks, Steve!

[@PKMNcast]

How else am I suppose to know to use my Master Ball on a Fearow

[@MasonOrSomething]

I didn't know until a few days ago that you can use Mirror Herb to put egg moves on a pokemon without even touching the breeding mechanic. I wish I had known sooner for raid builds. I've been avoiding egg moves because they used to be so annoying and confusing

[@PKMNcast]

Oh that’s a good one

#1 blew my mind 😂 Thanks Steve

[@conundrumquill8486]

Lmao literally just got the game last week 😂😂!! And I subscribed 👊🏾

[@juan_becerra]

East Province (area one) & (area two) spawns EV berries. Much better than playing the mini game in my opinion. Obviously the auction house is still the most efficient method.

[@samuelstannard730]
