Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players discover secret feature that flew under the radar

After countless hours of playing Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and its downloadable content, the Paldean trainers were surprised to stumble upon this overlooked mechanic.

Despite Pokemon Scarlet and Violet having a plethora of mechanics, some of them being integrated into the game’s user interface, players can often overlook them. However, after spending countless hours on their Pokemon journey, this player was surprised to stumble upon a UI detail that had gone unnoticed until then.

Reddit user ‘Final-Cheesecake4320’ turned to Reddit to inquire about a particular UI icon they had not noticed before. “Could someone please enlighten me?”the original poster asked while referencing an icon that had been present “throughout the entire evening.”

While engaging in a game of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the player discovered that their Tyranitar was utilizing a “high five”symbol as a means of communication. However, the player was unable to decipher its meaning. Fortunately, user ‘Gaias_Minion’ was swift to clarify by stating, “That icon indicates that you have directed your Pokemon to come to a halt and remain stationary.”

The kind user proceeded to clarify for the OP that pressing the Right stick would cause their character to whistle, halting their Pokémon or prompting them to move again. The OP was taken aback by this revelation and responded, “Ah, that makes sense! I often press the wrong buttons on my Switch Lite. Thank you for your help!:)”

Accompanied by the puzzled player, the identical user remarked that this issue was frequently encountered when players attempted to imitate actions from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. “I’ve had countless instances while playing Violet where I mistakenly pressed the control stick to sprint like in Legends, but ended up whistling instead,” shared ‘Gaias_Minion.’

In conclusion, it appears that the OP’s confusion may have stemmed from using a Nintendo Switch Lite. To learn more about Pokemon, be sure to read up on all the details for the Pokemon Go Bug Out event and discover how to successfully defeat the Mega Charizard X raids in Niantic’s mobile game.
