There is a secret ribbon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Pioneer Ribbon! We initially saw it in BDSP, but it wasn't available yet.
The flag for the Pioneer Ribbon is added by preparing a Pokémon for a photo. It isn't possible to see it in PLA. Maybe when transfers to HOME open!

Hope you all enjoyed the last few days of predictable Battle Stadium RNG :P
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet version 1.1.0 fixes the problem with the static RNG seed in both Casual and Ranked Battles (Singles & Doubles formats).
The battle RNG is now properly random for all PvP formats!

I told Cheryl we can't leave Eterna Forest until both Pokémon were shiny, and finally managed to RNG abuse this today.
I'm currently in the middle of a discussion over which one has to die, because if Wurmple dies, we'll never know what it would have turned into.

SV made 6-star raids harder by upping the level to 90 (even though you catch at 75) and giving them a 25x HP multiplier.
On top of that, 6-star raids have either 128 SpD EVs or both 128 SpD/128 Def EVs when battled. (SpD = Special Defense)
The EVs are not present on capture. twitter.com/AustinJohnPlay…

The Tera Raid events have custom Tera Shield strengths. You might have noticed that Pikachu takes essentially no damage from non-Terastallized moves.
Instead of the stock 20%, 35% (Tera + nonmatching type), and 75% (Tera + matching type), Pikachu uses 1%, 70%, and 120%. twitter.com/moxxyrav/statu…

I'm not much of a shiny hunter, but I think it's fun to RNG abuse BDSP. I got shiny Starly and shiny Piplup in the same battle!
It does show the trainer before the battle, but the Starly is 16/26/25/31/5/23... wonder what triggers it if it's not 2 IV.

I figured out how Arven's shiny-locked Pokémon can be shiny:
The game generates 2 Shellder: a display Shellder prior to the cutscene, and a battle Shellder when the battle starts.
The display Shellder is NOT shiny-locked. The battle Shellder is shiny-locked.
58
Wondering how you "saw" a Titan species shiny in the Dex? It's similar to how Arven's Pokémon can randomly be shiny.
After the first stage of a Titan battle, the game has a 1/4096 chance to generate a Titan that's shiny. It won't sparkle, but it will register in Dex.

Title Power grants additional attempts to roll for a Mark on wild Pokémon in Scarlet/Violet, up to a max of 4.
I've calculated the chance for the wild Marks thanks to data from @lincolnlm_.
Rates depend on whether weather is active and whether it is your birthday in-game!

Annoying:
The Pokémon Center Birthday Flabébé only comes in Japanese or English. However, if you claim it in another language, it locks in the nickname even on evolution.
Here's my Floette named "Flabébé" because it was claimed in a Spanish save, and there's no way to change it.

Why doesn't Antique Sinistea appear with Encounter Power Lv. 3 in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
This is due to an off-by-one bug in the encounter slot determination, which decides the species of Pokémon that spawns!
This bug is active as of version 1.2.0.

You can push a wild Pokémon in circles around yours during a battle, so I spent yesterday evening taking this outbreak shiny Zoroark all the way to Avalugg's Legacy and catching it with that met location.
I wonder how far you can go. Can Zoroark be dunked in the Hot Springs?

Interesting note for ribbon/mark collectors... this Mighty Pikachu is set to have really high scale, ranging from 240-255.
That means 1/16 of them qualify for the Jumbo Mark! twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…
my pokemon are cute ♥
