Most notably, the egg raid glitch
While the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves raidsinPokemon Scarlet&Violetwere supposed to be a big event for everyone, some players were left holding…an egg. As you may have heard, some folks encountered a nasty bug where, instead of the aforementioned Pokemon in question, they caught an egg: and locked themselves out of the privilege of gathering the ‘Mons.Thankfully, update 1.3.0 fixes that, amid some other bugs.
Link Battles were a big focus in this patch, as were general battles involving a select few abilities (like Cud Chew) and Zoroark. You also shouldn’t have any more trouble launching the game when connecting it to Pokemon Go as of this patch. For those of you hoping for massive framerate/visual overhauls, you’ll have to keep waiting (indefinitely?).
You can check out the full patch notes below and see if your fix made the cut.

Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
