Pokémon is getting a major update, new raids, and a Valentine’s Day event

POKÉMON Scarlet and Violet had a rough launch, with several bugs and performance issues dampening players’ enjoyment.

The team promised bug and performance changes on the horizon, and the second patch is on its way.

Not only that, but the next seven-star raid has been revealed, as well as a special Valentine’s Day event.

Here’s everything coming up Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: What’s in the latest patch?

Update version 1.2.0 is on its way and will be launched at the end of February.

If you have set your switch to update automatically, the patch should be installed as soon as it is released.

Those who are not connected can update by clicking on the game and selecting to update.

Not much has been revealed about the patch other than that it will contain some bug fixes and “added functionality”.

It is believed that this will not solve performance issues such as frame rate and lag, but rather add something new to the game.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: What’s the Next Seven-Star Attack?

The next series of seven-star robberies will take place from Friday January 27 until Sunday January 30 and again from Friday February 10 until Sunday February 13.

The raid target has not yet been released, but we know it will be a Poison tera type.

Previous raid targets had a tera type to match the Pokémon’s design, including Charizard with a Dragon tera type, and Cinderella with a Fighting tera type.

Since these Pokémon are all starters, we think Greninja could be the target of the next big heist.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: What’s the Valentine’s Day Event?

Pokémon will be holding a special Valentine’s Day raid event from Monday February 13 and ending with Wednesday February 15.

The raids will consist of a Fairy tera type Tandemaus, and will likely be 3-star raids.

Tandemaus evolves into Maushold, who has a 1% chance of being a family of three.

These raids can be the perfect opportunity to try and get your hands on your rare Maushold.
