Pokemon is Nintendo’s almost-exclusive franchise, and the fans have high hope regarding this. The new installment, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, seems to pull back their run quite a bit. Several new Pokemon, new in-game mechanics, gameplay, and many new stories to tell in this Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Auto heal is one of those mechanics that have been developed with new features. In short, you do not have to rummage through your bag to find one of those healing items to heal your Pocket Monster completely. Auto heal will simply do that for you in a blink of an eye. And that is what we will be focusing on today.

How Auto Heal Works in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Before we go into depth, we have already come across this option. Remember the very first battle you encountered? Just point before accessing the wild Pokemon, the in-game mechanics showed you a push notification that, from this point, you have access to Auto Heal.

What it does is, creates a hierarchy. Now, what is the hierarchy about? To heal, we need several different items. There are Potions, Super Potions, Hyper Potions, and whatnot. Obviously, each of them holds different stats while it is to heal your Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. Now, here comes the hierarchy.

The Auto Heal mechanics simply sort the healing items based on their stats. The more powerful the stats are, the lower it goes down in the list. It simply means the Auto Heal mechanic will choose the less powerful items first and then go for the higher-ups. With this, you do not have to go through your bag anymore. Moreover, you do not need to worry about expanding the most valuable potion just for a scratch on the knee.

How to Use Auto Heal

After a hefty battle:

  • Head for the Party Menu at first.
  • Hover over the Pokemon that needs your attention.
  • Press the ” – “ button on your console to Auto Heal your Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. 

The Auto Heal mechanic follows the following hierarchy:
