The correct information has been corrected in the move descriptions for Stone Axe, Dire Claw, and Ceaseless Edge. Prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, these attacks’ descriptions said that they were “aiming to land a critical hit,” however they do not increase the critical-hit percentage. This text is no longer included in these descriptions.

A glitch that prevented a Pokémon from receiving the Itemfinder Mark even when the conditions were met has been fixed. If they are defeated after a predetermined amount of time, wild Pokémon bearing the Titan Mark will now reappear on the field. Pokémon icons are now shown differently in the Boxes. There have been many more bug fixes.
