Topic: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet

@UpsideDownRowlet so technically i dont have to do the Ace tournament for the first time which i can just skip it and start doing the DLC stuff?

@seinfeldfanatic Technically, you can start the Teal Mask as soon as you become able to ride your legendary (so really early in the game), so if you want to start that right away you absolutely can. For the Indigo Disk, you will only need to have rolled credits.

The DLC has an epilogue (taking place after the events of 'The Indigo Disk') with an exclusive mythical Pokemon. That is the only thing that is locked behind the Academy Ace Tournament storyline (all gym leader rematches and at least one successful tournament challenge).

anyone know how to get an Inkay to evolve when using a Switch Lite? turning the Switch Lite upside down doesnt work when trying to evolve the Inkay

@seinfeldfanatic Make sure the Inkay is already level 30, and that you're holding the console upside down WHILE as it levels up. It will not evolve without being leveled up.

@UpsideDownRowlet i just said i already tried that by having my Swithc LIte upside down when i entered a fight against a pokemon. the Inkay that i caught before, its at a higher level though during the DLC stuff.

i even tried an XP candy to raise the bar a little too but that didnt work when i had my switch lite upside down.

you even sure an Inkay has to be at level 30 before going another level to evolve? i remember back then for the 3DS you only needed to turn the 3DS upside down to level up an Inkay and that was it

@seinfeldfanatic try going into the system settings and calibrating the console under controllers and sensors. Also make sure no wireless controllers are connected to the Switch Lite.

@NoodleWad oh my frikkin god, dude. i dont have any frikkin controllers for my Switch Lite. that shouldnt even cause problems when trying to evolve an Inkay anyway

@seinfeldfanatic no, I mean calibrate the Switch Lite's motion controls that setting just happens to be under controllers and sensors in the system settings.

And yes, having a controller connected would interfere with your Inkay's evolution.

@NoodleWad there's two things in teh Calibrate Motion Controls section

Calibrate Console which im assuming is for my Switch Lite??
Calibrate Controllers which i dont even controllers accessories anyway

Calibrate console is what you want.

@NoodleWad then what??

@seinfeldfanatic try leveling up the Inkay again while holding the console upside down.
