Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Collectibles Guide

There are three different indicators for collectibles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with each differing slightly in terms of what you’ll find. Below, we’ll show you what to look out for while making your way through the game.

Shiny Items

Nothing but a yellow/gold shimmer means that players can pick up anything ranging from berries or Pokeballs to materials for TMs and other items. Just walk up to where you see a shiny item and hit A.

Pokeballs with Reddish Glow

Unlike the shine above, these items will be a little more obvious to spot. Pokeballs surrounded by a reddish glow may also contain berries and Pokeballs, as well as materials and other items — such as potions, antidotes, and revives — or anything else that will aid your Pokemon inside or outside of battle.

Pokeballs with Yellow Glow

This is where the main difference between these collectibles comes into play. Once more, you’ll notice a Pokeball lying around, but if it has a yellow-red glow around it, then that means you’ve found a TM. Otherwise, TMs can be acquired by defeating gym leaders or through purchasing and crafting at a Pokemon Center. That’s all you need to know about open world collectibles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. For more in-game tips and tricks, you’ve come to the right place.
