Pokemon Scarlet & Violet 2.0.2 patch notes

This is the first patch since Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’sTeal Mask DLC expansionwas released. As such, one of the bug fixes includes content surrounding the Teal Mask.

Specifically, a bug made it so that when players battled specific trainers, like the Ogre Clan members of Kitakami, their victories would not be recorded. This would lock trainers out of certain items or even story progress in some cases.
