My personal note about Blueberry Quests

I've been hearing that users on the OCP have been struggling with attracting members into Union Circles for BlueBerry Quest Points. I highly recommend that you use the Reddit platform at https://www.reddit.com/r/unioncircle/ for such requests, as it's quick to access and you'll be able to find many more players there. You just need to have have a Google/Apple account to set up a Reddit account, and Nintendo Online to access worldwide Union Circles (As you're setting up, don't worry about avatar, usernames or ad tags, just click them at random and continue onwards) and simply create a post with the code after you select Form a Group. In my first reddit session was able to get a full group in less than a minute, and once we got started, I grinded and got over 10,000 points.

Legitimacy of Pokémon in trades

While trading in Scarlet/Violet or other games, it may be useful to check the legitimacy of the Pokémon you receive from trades. This is an excellent link which delve into details about the Pokémon given to you, including the Pokéball and its level. It covers every Pokémon from every generation, and has been updated to reflect Pokemon HOME's latest version. If your received Pokémon doesn't meet the criteria, you may want to release it.
