A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player is excited to see a Shiny Iron Valiant, but is completely blocked from trying to capture it.

A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player encountered a Shiny Iron Valiant, but due to a game issue, has been completely blocked from actually trying to catch it. Fellow Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have tried to offer support, but the situation looks largely hopeless for the unfortunate gamer.

While the game's announcement as an open world title had a lot of players excited, at launch, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was a mess. Glitches, bugs, and performance issues plagued the title and required patches in order to get the game to a satisfactory state. However, it seems the games still have some significant issues left, as one unlucky player found out.

Reddit user panikayy took to the site to share their plight and ask for advice after finding an Iron Valiant. The player shared a short video where they can clearly see a Shiny Iron Valiant that appears to be trapped between a rock and a literal hard place. Panikayy managed to wedge their player character into the space in order to try and catch it, but none of their attempts have been successful. While the player is able to lock on to the Pokemon briefly, their attempt to throw a ball sails straight through it, and they can't walk into it to engage in a normal wild Pokemon encounter.

That sounds beyond frustrating for the guy. A glitch stopping him catching it is so unfair.

It's yet another example of how rushed these games were and low little effort GameFreak put into these games.
