A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan has developed a genius way of farming Ace Tournaments. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet marks the start of Generation 9. Even though there are many new features, at the end of the day, Pokemon is still an RPG, which requires players to make classic things like resource farming.
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's story, the Ace Tournament was created for the purpose of seeing the player's strength as the new Champion. To access the Ace Tournament first the game must be beaten, and then the player must rematch the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gym leaders. After that the player must return to the Academy, seeing a series of cutscenes indicating that the Ace Tournament has been unlocked.
User epicninja343 posted a video on Reddit showing his found way to farming Ace Tournaments. The video shows what is basically an automatic button presser, where a simple device attached to an AC adapter has automated the repetitive act of pressing the A button during Pokemon battles. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have been using Ace Tournaments as a way of farming money and XP. Ace Tournaments also give random rewards, and winning them is the requirement for the player to gain access to 6-star Tera Raids. One of the most recent Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids is the Cinderace Tera Raid, which will return for a second stage in the next few days.
The video by epicninja343 has become a hit on the official Pokemon Scarlet and Violet subreddit. With over 3,000 upvotes so far, the post has hundreds of comments with users debating the player's idea, and suggesting other ways to automate gameplay. Pokemon automation is something practiced by Pokemon players, with a Discord server dedicated to the topic. Players who wish to inform themselves can access the server, and learn more details to use in the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid.
Although the device put together by epicninja343 is relatively simple, it is perfectly effective in fulfilling its function, which makes the idea genius. Grinding consists of doing repetitive actions to achieve a specific result, and is something common in the world of RPGs. For certain players, the process can be tedious, but for players who don't mind it, there are RPGs perfect for those who love grinding. In the case of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the idea put together by epicninja343 proves for every situation that exists, the Pokemon community never fails to come up with a creative idea or solution.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for the Nintendo Switch.
