How Auto Battle Works in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Long story short, Auto Battle cuts down your grinding time. Means, you do not have to watch those long battle clips over and over. You can simply command your Pokemon to be Dora the Explorer and get what they need by themselves. Basically, set them loose with a long rope tied to them. Yes, they will be under control.

So, send them to explore the region of Paldea. They will surely return with XPs and goodies. The battles will be endless. And your Pokemon will fight till its last breath. Means, they won’t be able to stand against a new opponent until completely healed.

A couple of things to keep in mind, before sending your suicide squad, your Pokemon level must be higher than the stray Pokemon they are gonna meet. Otherwise, the opponent will dominate the match without a doubt. And if you win a battle, your active Pokemon will get some XP. However, the rest of the team will also get some of that, and by some of that means, half of that.

And to let you know another thing, you cannot catch a Pokemon while being in this free-roam mode. All you can do is, farm XP, but you cannot farm another Pokemon. And that is how this mechanic works.

How to Use Auto Battle

All you have to do is, press R to send your topmost bully to the battlefield. As mentioned, some factors will be the deciding ones, while the in-game mechanics calls the winner. There have been multiple reports on sending the Water-type to fight an Electric-type. Legend says the Water-type got back with its tail that had been in between the legs. Right, where were we?

And that is all I had for the Auto Battle mechanism in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Stay tuned for more!
