Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: How to reset Auction items

To reset the Auction items in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, players will need to change the Date and Time settings on their Nintendo Switch 24 hours forward. This means that you will have to turn off the “Synchronise Clock via Internet” option and change it manually.

Auction items will reset every 24 hours, and since the Switch era of Pokemon games arrived, changing the Date and Time of the console has been beneficial for many features in the game.

If you jump into an Auction and you don’t find the items needed, just exit and reset the whole process once again. Remember that Auction NPCs have a 70% chance of bidding low, and 30% of bidding high, so get your pockets ready.
