How to Get Every New Teal Mask Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet DLC

I love how the ursaluna quest was like a legends Arceus and Pokémon snap throwback

Another note, I'm fairly sure the music playing during the photo-taking during the night is the Eterna Forest theme for that area IN Pokémon Legends Arceus, so you want the music on in there too!

Bloodmoon Ursaluna with the PLA theme during the battle was a fantastic touch!

Fun fact with blood moon ursaluna, if you transferred a shiny normal ursaluna from home, B.L ursa somehow gets its shiny registered even though it's shiny locked, sorta like the regional variants...

Fun fact: when you go to defeat them in their titan forms if you look for them on the map and look up their description you’ll find out something interesting about them. Like the bird was apparently originally dull looking with short feathers and made a wish to look beautiful which is how it became the way it is now. Personally this makes me think it used to be an Unfezant

I recommend using the fried noodles from the stand in kitakami, literally called kitakami fried noodles to help with the poison Level 2 catch rate. To catch the loyal 3, I caught mine in premier balls

For anyone wanting to use dipplin on their team just a heads up eviolite currently works on dipplin despite being a final stage. Maybe a glitch, maybe dipplin gets an evo in I.D. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

The first Poltchageist I caught was an artisanal one, but I didn’t know it until after I traded the little guy. When I got the regular version in a surprise trade and it showed me a different pokedex entry, I realized my mistake. 😅

You will never miss any of the masks because its part of the main story

Note on Ogerpon: On top of everything they already do for her, her held item masks apparently also give her a x1.2 damage boost on every single attack she uses. EVERY. This is ONLY with a Held Mask...her default Teal form gets no bonus but can hold anything she wants.

The Bloodmoon Beast quest was a REALLY nice throwback to Legends: Arceus. The music really made me nostalgic for it and how much fun I had playing it.

Interestingly enough according to the way that Dipplin is coded, it seems that he'll get another evolution in the second DLC, not only that, but eviolite also works on him

A cool thing about the dialogue before fighting Ursaluna is that it looks at Growlithe who stares back and then refuses to fight. I think it's because they're both Pokemon from times long ago and are surprised that they're both still around.

Best thing about the DLC is we got AJP videos about it!

You can also catch Poltchageist as a fixed Tera Pokemon, it's around the same area although closer to the waterfall. It's Tera-Type is Water, I ran into it by pure coincidence and I just caught it. What I don't know however is if it's form is locked or you can get either form this way. Anyway, amazing video once again dude, thanks so much.

PSA: It does appear mass outbreaks of Poltchageist can contain higher than normal concentrations of Artisan form. I just caught 4 in a row and that seems unlikely to have occurred for any other reason.

I was really gagged with the new ursaluna. I thought it was just gonna be some random ursaluna but no it was brand new and I thought damn I can’t catch it and when the option came I was like OOOOOOOO so I threw a luxury ball at it. How it goes from a physical to special attacker was surprising. I really liked all the new Pokémon munkidori is still my least favorite and it was pretty funny how poltchageist is poltegeist and sinistcha is sinistea but their evolutions are reversed. Too bad the only good shinies are dipplin being a golden apple and ursaluna being an orange bear all the rest are awful. Barely noticeable green on poltchageist, the “loyal” three have bad shinies with minimal change even Okidogi had the most change but it’s a bad color, ogerpon’s face turns green.

You can get a white stripe basuclin in random terra raids too.

Disappointed that the Timeless Woods didn’t feature other Hisuian Pokémon besides White-Striped Basculin and a one off form that may not even be in the next generation. But on the plus side, there are wild Annihilape and Kingambit.

For those who are having trouble getting an artisan Poltchageist! I don't know if this can be confirmed, but I had a mass outbreak of Poltchageist around the northern area of Mossfell Confluence (Where there is more bamboo near the two crystal dens). EVERY SINGLE ONE I have caught has been an artisan version. So I don't know the percentages are certain or if Austin John can look into this if mass outbreak increases those chances?
