The move Dragon Cheer is temporarily banned from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Championship events due to the move not functioning as intended, and will remain so until this issue is resolved

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are now available for Nintendo Switch. Read on below to learn more:

Regarding a Bug Affecting Dragon Cheer

We have received reports that the move Dragon Cheer is not working as intended.

Known Bug

When a Pokémon under the effect of Dragon Cheer is switched out of battle and then reenters that battle, its attacks will still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits.
The intended behavior is for Dragon Cheer’s effect to be removed from a Pokémon once it is switched out of battle.

How We Will Address This Issue

We plan to fix this issue in version 3.0.1, which will be released in mid-January 2024 or later.

How We Will Proceed Until This Issue Is Resolved

Dragon Cheer will be usable with its current effects in Ranked Battles and official competitions* until this bug is fixed in the version 3.0.1 update.
* “Official competitions” in this specific circumstance refers to Battle Stadium tournaments like Blueberry Prologue and Ranked Battles.
