Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's The Indigo Disk DLC has introduced many new things to the latest Pokemon game. It has also made features that were there when the game first released even more fun, as they will help you complete objectives known as Bonus Blueberry Quests. When you complete these quests, players will be given Blueberry Points (BP), which can be spent on spawning boosts and other special items.
While playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you might have noticed that you can sneak up behind Pokemon and throw Poke Balls at them in order to catch or begin a surprise battle with them. This is a trick that players might want to make use of in order to speedily catch a Pokemon. With the new DLC, one of the Bonus Blueberry Quests requires the player to sneak up on a Pokemon, so here is how to do it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: How to Evolve Spinarak into Ariados
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have countless bug-type Pokemon for players to catch, including the spider Spinarak. Here's how to evolve it into Ariados.
How To Sneak Up And Surprise Pokemon
Sneaking up on an unsuspecting Pokemon is fairly easy and can be done by first pressing the B button on your Nintendo Switch. This will cause your Pokemon Scarlet and Violet character to crouch, which results in Pokemon not hearing or seeing the player.
Next, you will want to sneak up behind the Pokemon you wish to catch, making sure to be directly behind it and not in front where it might notice you. After having your game locked on the Pokemon you wish to throw a Poke Ball at using the left trigger, you can then use the right trigger to throw a ball at it. This will either then allow the Pokemon to be caught or battled with, and if done correctly, the "Pokemon was caught off guard" notification will pop up on the screen.
It is pretty easy to do this, but it might take a couple of tries to click the buttons at the right time without the Pokemon seeing you or getting suspicious. After completing this, you will be rewarded with BP, which will then be able to be spent on particular items and spawn boosts in The Indigo Disk DLC.
