New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet patch fixes big lingering bugs

destructoid.com:

While the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves raids in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet were supposed to be a big event for everyone, some players were left holding…an egg. As you may have heard, some folks encountered a nasty bug where, instead of the aforementioned Pokemon in question, they caught an egg: and locked themselves out of the privilege of gathering the ‘Mons. Thankfully, update 1.3.0 fixes that, amid some other bugs.

Link Battles were a big focus in this patch, as were general battles involving a select few abilities (like Cud Chew) and Zoroark. You also shouldn’t have any more trouble launching the game when connecting it to Pokemon Go as of this patch. For those of you hoping for massive framerate/visual overhauls, you’ll have to keep waiting (indefinitely?).

You can check out the full patch notes below and see if your fix made the cut.

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.

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.

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.
