The DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was always known to be two parts: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. That said, not every question will be answered even after finishing the final bit of content in the latter DLC.

This epilogue is totally free and even brings in one last Pokemon to catch called Pecharunt, but it is a little tricky to start. This short little challenge includes a few new fights, meeting up…

The news came via a brief teaser trailer titled “A new adventure in the Land of Kitakami awaits”.

CJ Andriessen and Eric Van Allen reviewed Pokémon Violet and Scarlet respectively, each arriving at the same “6/10” score. And later, the…

In the early games, the trickiest ways revolved around trading, but as the generations passed, new and fourth-wall-breaking methods began creeping in. Inkay was one of the most tricky to evolve when it debuted on the 3DS, but now that it’s back in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk. Considering we’re no longer in the two-screen system days, the old evolution method had to be tweaked for the new hardware. Whether you…

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC, The Indigo Disk, adds Duraludon and gives them a new evolution, Archaludon. Duraludon is a steel/dragon type, which makes it resistant to dragon-type attacks, which most dragon-type Pokemon are weak to. This dual type is pretty powerful and their evolution makes it even stronger, but you will need a special item to evolve them.
